Many books on creation deal with evolution, the length of the days of creation, and ethics in light of creation. These are worthy subjects and I do cover these things in this book. However, the doctrine of creation is much more inclusive in the Bible. Things that we think demand front-and-center attention do not get such by the Bible itself. As the title of the book seeks to display, the beginning is not the end of creation. Creation had a goal intended by God to be attained by man, but man failed. However, God will see to it that the original goal is reached. Creation, therefore, was intended to be a means to an end. The end is what God had in mind all along. The end is not plan B or even plan A. It is simply the plan.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch6\u003e\u003cspan\u003eAuthor\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h6\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRichard C.
