Does Advancing Science Refute or Prove Genesis? Our understanding of science is always evolving. How do recent scientific discoveries relate to the ability of Genesis 1 to accurately describe the physical details of creation?

God Is... Bigger than We Know: Some holy books declare that God is transcendent (existing and operating beyond the cosmic spacetime dimensions) but aloof and distant from his creation. Others declare that God is immanent (existing and operating everywhere within the universe) but limited to the universe. The Bible alone declares that God is simultaneously transcendent and immanent.
