GENESIS DESCRIBES A RANDOM EVOLUTION AND A UNIVERSAL DELUGE STILL GOING ON, IN WHICH WE ARE ALL DROWNING. THE GOOD NEWS IS THAT WE ARE ALL WEARING OUR LIFE VEST. The first chapters of Genesis have nothing to do with creationism and/or science. From its very beginning, Genesis comes about as an epistemic treatise, which intends to show the direction of a precise aim. The text proceeds from the very general heaven and earth to reach the more individualized Adam/Eve who know and name the world. Furthermore, the text continues to describe with more insight the structure of the mind in all its subtle articulations. Consciousness is the universal foundation of knowledge, which perceives the world's existence. Epistemology is the study of how knowledge works and how it knows what it knows. It is impossible to conceive outside the sphere of physical and/or mental experience. Trying to pierce out of that bubble will still place everything within a new circle of mind occurrence. A new knowledge may comprehend more than the previous one, but it will still be within the field of brain experience. In the process of knowledge, no one can go out of the mental without entering another type of mindset. No one can think of something never experienced and/or never imagined before, without thinking, imagining or dreaming of it anew. In fact, even fantasy becomes the experience of a made-up illusion, thus still a known object of experience. Contrary to conventional literal interpreters, Genesis is not a historical account. It is not a scientific register. It is not even a religious text. In reality, Genesis is an epistemological treatise. It teaches how the world happens in the mind. That is the whole instruction, to help and direct the aim to achieve the right goal. Furthermore, to achieve that end, we must abstain from the fruit eaten by our original progenitors, which, to this moment, we still keep consuming fetching us death. Creation states that, God was in the beginning and, out of nothing, created everything. Science states that, in the beginning, there was a Big Bang, which, out of nowhere, produced everything. Both dogmatically assert the existence of an external independent mysterious causal reality conceived as being outside the mind, even if never experienced apart from it. Nonetheless, both testify the inevitable epistemic need for a Fundamental Truth from which everything derives. Based on Genesis, this book addresses old controversies and tries to answer some of the questions like, Can we reconcile faith with science? Can we resolve the dispute between creation and evolution? What is the meaning of the six days of creation? Then again, what is existence? Who are Adam and Eve? Was there really a Tree of Knowledge? Why Cain killed Abel? Who were the Patriarchs? Who was Noah? Did they really exist? How did the penguin get to the South Pole? And so on.
