📖 Teaching Segment: Minutia in Genesis
📜 Biblical Reflection — Genesis 1:1
“In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth.”
Scripture assumes God’s existence


Echoed in:


📖 John 1:1 – In the beginning was the Word


📖 Mark 1:1 – Beginning of the gospel
🏛️ Faith & Western Civilization
Dennis Prager – If There Is No God…
Key argument:
Without God → Who defines good and evil?
Observations:
⚔️ The 20th century (most secular) was also the bloodiest


~150 million civilians killed under Nazism & Communism


Margaret Thatcher:
“The moral foundation of this system is the Judeo-Christian outlook… each person matters.”
Concern:
Shift from values (“I must”) → feelings (“I want”)
Key question:
❓ Is Western civilization weakening because Genesis 1:1 is being forgotten?

What it’s about:
