The Genesis accounts of creation explain human existence as coming from the one and only almighty God who madhae the world and everything in it out of nothing. The Hebrew word for create, bara, has the connotation of creation out of nothing. Thus the almighty God of he Bible simply spoke and things were created. Genesis 1 through to 2 v4a is sometimes referred to as the first creation account and describes the creation of everything except man.

The second creation account is an account which focuses particularly on the creation of man whom God fashioned from the dust of the earth. Often these accounts are found to be in conflict or in contradiction which they clearly are not when rightly understood. Studies of other ancient literature has shown that this practice of referring to something generally and then expanding on a particular detail later was a literary device used by such ancient people. The second account will often contain details not mentioned in the first.

The Bible puts man and his creation as the pinnacle, coming last to complete it. Woman of course, completed man, who was alone and incomplete without her.

The fall of man, a real and tragic historical event as described in Genesis 3, explains much of the trouble, decay and destruction we see on the earth today. Fallen man is alienated from his maker, from his fellow man, from the creation and even from himself.

The issue of free will also comes into play, and is a significant and important aspect of who man was clearly created to be. That man exercised it wrongly was of course known beforehand by God, who, in His infinite wisdom, provided a way of escape through Jesus Christ,'the seed of the woman,' who was to 'bruise the head of the serpent.'

Should people from different religions be allowed in Australia?

As long as these people can accept that everyone is permitted to practise their religion in peace and without recrimination from others, then there is every reason to welcome different religions into Australia. The problem is that, sometimes, these people of other religions attempt to enforce their will and their religions on others, and may resort to violent means as they attempt to influence the population. Sometimes, also, the religion upon which Australia's heritage was built - Christianity - is compromised in the name of "political correctness". This leads to greater intolerance rather than tolerance.
