Memory Text: "If the foundations be destroyed, what can the righteous do?" (Psalm 11:3 KJV).The Memory Text goes to show just how important the foundations are! The following from the Sabbath Afternoon section also brings this out: Quote:
We all build upon foundations. In the most literal sense, we build our lives upon the rocks beneath our feet; but in another, we build our lives around the principles that govern us. Atheists, religious fanatics, skeptics, scientists—everyone governs their lives by fundamental principles, whether they acknowledge those principles or not.
----
As Christians, our principles are found in and through the person of Jesus Christ, the One in whom "we live, and move, and have our being" (Acts 17:28). And yet, we know about Jesus through the Bible. So, the Bible, in essence, works as the foundation for our lives and our faith. And, in a sense, Genesis serves as the "foundation" of the Bible, kind of like the "strange black stone" far beneath the earth that held up the ground immediately beneath Laurens's feet.

Seeing nobody replied, I will answer the question myself by saying that Christ and the authors of the New Testament viewed what was written in Genesis as truth, as the authentic Word of God. From Sunday's study: Quote:
What other examples can you find of how doubt regarding what might seem like a "small" thing can, if taken to its logical conclusion, lead to doubt about major things, as well? Why, then, should we be so careful regarding our trust in the Bible as the Word of God? After all, once you start doubting the Bible, what's left?
This says it all: Once you start doubting the Bible, what's left?
