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.

Spontaneity

Well, this is my first blog post - and I guess it should begin with: Hello, my name is Joel. But that can wait till later... Right now I am going to talk about spontaneous decisions.

This summer, like many summers before, I am packing my bags to go off to Scripture Union camps, these are christian run holidays that last about a week, where there is as much karting, BBQing, discussing, rock climbing, music-ing, and general crazy-ing as possible...
But in all these years, the thought that there would come a time when I was too old didn't really compute - until a few days ago when an old leader sent me a message saying; "Hey Joel, we need some helpers for this SU holiday, you interested?"
I said yes, and in a few weeks I'll be off to a week of no sleep.
