Genesis: Day 1

Yo, 

I feel like a challenge. So over the next few posts I will attempt to answer a question that has plagued religious believers and scientists alike, for centuries...
Does Christianity contradict Science?

Righty-O, ma homies, lets begin with Genesis! It’s possibly the most controversial... but a good starting point in my opinion;

Day 1

1 In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth.
2 Now the earth was formless and empty, darkness was over the surface of the deep, and the Spirit of God was hovering over the waters.
3 And God said, "Let there be light," and there was light. 4 God saw that the light was good, and He separated the light from the darkness. 5 God called the light "day," and the darkness he called "night." And there was evening, and there was morning—the first day.

Consumerism... *sigh*

Recently, I was reading a blog you may be familiar with, when I came across this:


"To inadvertently (possibly unwillingly) paraphrase Fight Club (1999), people really dowork hard at jobs they don’t like, to buy stuff they don’t need. The human species has a disturbing, innate craving for stuff. We can’t have enough of it! We just build vast, neverending collections of stuff, each and every person with a varied inventory."


Don't get me wrong; I love Fight Club, and people obsessed with pointless wants is very wrong... 
But I'm still unconvinced that most of the Human race is subject to it. As for me, sitting here, I have a lot of things I don't 'need' to survive:
My hoody is new, but is only the second coat thing I bought this year.
My camera is by no means the best, but it is good! And brings much happiness to my life at the moment.
And this computer is an efficient method for me to communicate with friends, be creative and imaginative, and pass my A levels... It also functions as an anti-insanity device which is always handy (something Tyler Durden obviously didn't class as necessary)
