    In the Beginning: The Myth That Broke All Myths (Genesis 1)

    Every ancient civilization had a creation story. Babylon.  Egypt. Greece. They all said the same thing; reality is  born from violence, humans exist to serve the powerful,  and the cosmos has always been here. Then Genesis 1 said something that shattered all of it. In this episode we go deep into what Genesis 1 was actually  doing, the myths it was answering, the ancient worldview it  dismantled, and the vision of humanity it introduced that the  world had never seen before. We also talk about why most  people, believers and skeptics alike, have never truly  received what Genesis is trying to say. And what changes  when you finally do. Episode 3 of Crossroads; a series walking through Genesis  not to defend it or fight over it, but to actually read it. —————————————— Timestamps: 00:43 — Welcome back 02:11 — Brief review of previous episode 04:22 — The ancient imagination 06:12 — Who wrote Genesis 1: The case for Moses 09:00 — Genesis 1 is a theological rebellion 10:19 — Babylon: Tiamat and the Enuma Elish   11:50 — Egypt: Ra and the daily battle 13:18 — Greece: Zeus and the divine coup 15:20 — The God of Genesis enters 17:20 — Creation by will, not conflict 18:04 — The universe is not divine — it's designed 25:08 — The universe had a beginning 31:07 — The universe is good 36:22 — Humanity: image-bearers, not tools 42:00 — John, Kate, and the Rose. 46:40 — The pattern of seven 47:11 — Creation is intentional 48:20 — Creation has rhythm 49:40 — Creation is complete 51:10 — The rose is still on your desk
