The Word of God affirms Science

I guess you determine what is true science and what is not.

True science affirms what the Bible says, or at least does not contradict it.

If "science" says that life came from non-life, by random chance, then, over many millions of years, evolved into mankind, then it is false "science".

This is how we know it's symbolic. 

The Bible is literal and symbolic. There can be many levels and layers of meaning. 

God knows the end from the Beginning. If you understand the very first word in the Bible: "Beginning" you will understand all of the Bible. John 1:1 tells us: "In the beginning was the word". 

"In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God." So now we have three words: beginning, word and God. 

Jeremiah 1:12 "I am watching to see that my word is fulfilled"

In the beginning was the word of God. God is watching over His word to for fill and do, what He said He is going to do. We can have faith, trust and believe that God is going to do what He tells us He is going to do.

Can the answers to those questions be found in the Bible in its “original language”?

Genesis 1:26 says: " “Let us make mankind in our image, in our likeness,"

So what is the meaning of the word: "mankind"? אָדָ֛ם ’ā-ḏām

Who or what is Adam? The three Hebrew letters have meaning. The first letter has to do with Heaven and Earth. Jesus teaches us to pray: Thy Kingdom come, Thy will be done on Earth as it is in Heaven.

There are many many books of science that teach us about Adam, the cells, the mind, and all of that. We know that God breathed life into Adam. It is our breath that gives us life. If our heart quits beating, or if we quit breathing, we die very fast. As they say, we are a breath from death. Science teaches us about the cell and how the cell uses oxygen.

The next letter is a staff used by a shephard. Man is given dominion and authority in the Earth. We are joint Heirs with Christ. I follow the teaching of Rabbi Trugman on YouTube to study the meaning of each Hebrew letter. That helps us to begin to understand the meaning of the Hebrew words. 

We are told to love the lord our God with all of our heart, mind, soul and strength. Also the Bible talks about blood and how Jesus sacrificed His Blood fore us. So we can be washed and cleansed in the Blood. These words have a lot of meaning and science helps us to understand the meaning of the word we read in our Bible. 

God is infinite and every word has infinite meaning. We could study just one word in the Bible our whole life and we would still only be starting to understand. A man will study all his life, then another man comes along and picks up where he left off. Maybe three generations, three lifetimes will go into trying to understand one word in the Bible and we will just be getting started.

There is a very great deal of science contained within the Scriptures, beginning with the Sentence of the First Chapter of the First Book.

What is the meaning of the word "us" and how did the Jewish writers interpret this?

We or us they say refers to God and the Angles.

There really is no us. The word:

נַֽעֲשֶׂ֥ה na-‘ă-śeh

Suggests that God will make man the way you grow food from the ground to reveal Himself (we or us) in Adam. God is looking for a Tabernacle, He wants to become part of His Creation and dwell with man.

Do you believe the angels were involved in creation?  Where do you see the Jewish people espouse this idea.

We read in Job 38 "6On what were its foundations set, or who laid its cornerstone, while the morning stars sang together and all the angels shouted for joy?"

I am doing a study of the Hebrew language from Rabbi Trugman, that does not mean I accept or endorse their teaching in the areas you are trying to get into. We can look at the Hebrew language and get deeper insight.

There is a difference between a watcher and a performer.

A performer often has a troupe of 100 people that travels with them and supports what they are doing. Esp if they put on live performances. 

When it comes to the Rabbi, I am a watcher to be sure. Although they say God gives special consideration to people who study under the Rabbi. Even the Hasidic feel their calling is to teach Kabbalah to people that are not Hasidic.
