Nobody should believe the incredible!

Difficulties from the very "beginning" ...

For many people the first chapters of the Bible appear not to be a help, but
much more of an obstacle to faith. The "first book of Moses" seems to stand
too much in opposition to the findings of the natural science to be taken
seriously. As a consequence, many people find no access to the most
important book of human history but "get stuck" after a few pages.

This is because many people have but a very diffuse picture and a
superficial understanding of what the Bible really teaches. Interpretations
that go back to the Middle Ages have crept even into Bible translations and
saturated our minds with fabulous pictures from childhood on. What should
have been a "stairway to heaven" has become a "stumbling-block" to faith.
Nor are the teachings of modern theology always very helpful - to say the
least. What a pity that the following words of Jesus are especially true for
the first pages of the Bible, for its "entrance":

Woe to you experts in the law, because you have taken away the key to
knowledge, and you have hindered those who wanted to enter! Luke 11:52

It's hard to believe but it's precisely some of those who believe in the
Bible who have locked its "door" for many people. No wonder that many Bible
readers get stuck in the very first chapters of the Book.
