I believe man was created by the Almighty GOD- creater of the universe. Genesis tells the story better; well it's not just a story but a fact. Think of it this way- behind every complex machinery today, there is a maker. Cars, tv's, computers, watches( list can go on) didnt just pop out of nowhere! Now consider the most fascinating piece of machinery- the human being. If a car has a maker, what about a human being!! The knowledge of our origin is the only key to our destiny! No wonder the bible begins with the beautiful account of our ORIGIN...( pliz feel free to post your comments or questions)
