Parashat BeresheetTime has not diminished the power or the majesty of the familiar biblical account of the creation of the world, nor has the familiarity dulled its impact. It still moves us, conveying so much in so few words. What kind of world does the Torah envision God creating? The opening chapters of Genesis are not a scientific account of the origins of the universe. The Torah is a book of mortality, not cosmology. Its overriding concern, from the first verse to the last, is our relationship to God, truth about life rather than scientific truths. It describes the world God fashioned as "good", a statement no scientific account can make. Taken from Etz Hayim Torah and Commentary
