I should have gone further. "In the beginning of God's creation of heaven
and earth, the earth was without form and empty"

One indicates EVERYTHING was started in that moment the other indicates
there was already something there that was being worked with.

If 10,000 years from now your new religion the Marathoners takes off and we
lose any record of everything else...

"In the beginning, Bren started a marathon..." vs. "In the beginning of
Bren's starting a marathon...".  

Your first statement says all creation started with your marathon. the
second statement indicates there was something before the marathon.

The bible is a rather short book. It only covers certain things written in a
form that the people of the time would understand the moral message. Many
Jews and Christians feel that the bible can be read as a story of divinely
guided evolution. Some feel Genesis 6:1 is an indication of the mixing of
homo erectus or Neanderthal into our gene pool.

And that makes more sense how??
 
"In the beginning, I started a marathon..." vs. "In the beginning of my
starting a marathon...".  
 
Who won the marathon?  And how long did it take them?
 
Sorry, I don't get it.
 
Love,

Very true. A perfect example is the first line of the Bible. "In the
beginning God created the heaven and the earth".

Most Hebrew scholars will say that "In the beginning of God's creation of
the heaven and earth" is a more accurate translation.
The second translation indicates a longer time span.

>Do not judge all Christians by those who deny evolution, it is mostly those
who believe in a notoriously bad translation ( King James -have they never
heard of the parable of the coin?).  There are, after all over 1,100
denominations!
