One of the hottest topics between Christians and non-christians alike is
about Creation. The Bible lays out all of the creation story, but who would
know this story or be able to talk about this story but God.
Jewish scholars have always attributed the Torah, the first five books of
the Bible, to Moses. Moses was unique in all of scripture, as God talked to
Moses directly.
How do we know this?
Deut. 34:10 tells us that God knew Moses face to face. The Jewish Rabbis
teach, "All prophets saw through a dull glass, but Moses saw through a clear
brilliant glass." Moses did not receive from God in symbolism. God said, "I
speak to Moses mouth to mouth, manifestly, and not in allegory"(Num. 12:8).
Exodus 33:11, "God spoke to Moses face to face, as a man speaks to a friend."
The foundations of the first five books of the Bible(The Torah), both
written and oral, was revealed to Moses by God.
Just as God Himself does not change, so the Torah which is His eternal
testimony to Israel, cannot be changed. Moses thus said, "You shall not add to
the word which I command you, nor shall you subtract from it; you must keep
the commandments of God your Lord, which I command you" (Deut. 4:2).
Therefore, no commandment of the Torah can ever be abrogated or changed.

God dictated His Word to Moses, Genesis to Deuteronomy, face to
face, word for word.
For Christians this should be all the proof we need about Creation.
I trust God more than all the science man can discover. I believe God
created everything. I also believe that if God doesn't want man to
know how He did things, man will never know.
We need to look at science through the eyes of Christ, not look to
science to verify our belief in the Bible.
