In dealing with the Sacred Scripture, we are taught to interpret it in the light of the Church’s Teachings. As for theological discourse, a believer should interpret the bible according to the following phases: Historical phase, Exegetical phase, & Hermeneutic phase. Believing that the bible is an inspired Word of God, some has direct literal implication to our life. In the book of Genesis, the discoveries of sciences are just enforcing & affirming evidences that the Genesis creation slowly comes into the spotlight of truth. I believe that the writers of Genesis tradition may have no exact scientific calculations of the cosmos in their time but the elements of their ideas are found in the modern scientific observations.
