There is a peculiarity in the Creation story. All days of creation are declared good with the concluding formula “it was good”, but it seems that the second day, when the waters were separated above and below the expanse, was not declared good. Why the narrator of the Creation story has omitted it, or has he omitted it all? And who was the narrator of the Creation, in the first place, because it was impossible for Mosheh to know the epic work of the Creator...

There is something curious in the Noach story. The apostle called Noach “a preacher of righteousness” (2Pe 2:5), but the only time he opened his mouth was to curse his grandson Kanaan. Why?

Albert Einstein’s formula E=mC2 is probably the most notable mathematical equation. But how Einstein’s formula relates to the Creation of the world, as recorded in Genesis? Let us start from the beginning: “In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth.” This is the most recognizable translation of the verse in the Scripture.
