How a person answers the above questions, relates to the Almighty, accepts the reliability of Scripture, and understands the need for salvation through the Messiah are all impacted by how one views the first few chapters of Genesis.
One of the fundamental concepts for believers is that the Almighty is the Creator and that mankind is part of His creation. Within this view, life has much in meaning and purpose, there are definite answers as to what is right and wrong, and there is hope of eternal life after a physical death.

There can be no greater meaning to life, no absolute right and wrong, and no hope of life after death.
