God spoke everything into existence. Whether this happened in a week or over eons I leave up to you. In my discussion of Genesis, I’ll use the language of one week. Feel free to substitute generations or a day as you see fit. The goal of this book is not to identify the age of rocks but to find out why the Rock of Ages planted so many trees in the Bible. We know this much: trees point toward who God is, who we are, how the world works, and why evil exists.
