As we gathered for our session, the buzz around the group was, "How many did you get?" "Did you get 50?"
So right off the bat, Dorman asked who came up with 50 observable facts from Genesis 1:1-2:3.
We spent the majority of the session, sharing observations in just Genesis 1:1,2. Towards the end, we shared observations from the entire passage. It was a wonderful time of learning from each other. Many times I found myself saying, "I totally missed that one, I wish I saw it!" after someone shared a keen fact from the passage.
One thing to do, if you haven't already, is to make a chart to diagram the patterns of each day and see where the pattern breaks. You can find these patterns in the things that are repeated each day (or not in some cases!); i.e. "Then God said..." "And it was good" etc.
My short summary here does not do justice to the awesome time we had as brothers this past Saturday.
And so... the next Homework: 50 more observable facts from Genesis 1:1-2:3 !!!
Most of guys were in shock, "50 MORE!?" But we should have see it coming as we saw this play out in the poem, "The Student, the Fish, and Agassiz," [pdf] Dorman shared with us last time.
Note that we will NOT be meeting this coming Saturday, March 17, as Dorman is out of town. So you have 2 weeks to come up w/ 50 more!
