The creation story set in the reality of Västerbotten
- I believe in evolution. In my worldview, the world did not come into being as it is written in Genesis.

I consider the creation story to be a beautiful, powerful and poetic story – as long as you are allowed to do as you please in terms of believing in it. And thank goodness we have freedom of religion in our country. So you can believe in evolution and be open to spirituality at the same time. It is not everywhere in the world that you are allowed to believe what you want.

I see the Judeo/Christian creation story as a fairy tale about how everything began. And that is not surprising. Such stories have arisen in most human cultures. It is enough to look up at a starry sky on a clear winter night and it raises big questions. And the answers to those questions have really varied depending on time and place.

According to the creation story, man is a construction of Our Lord, a kind of invention.

But it was probably like putting a check on the gardener that man was assigned the task of managing creation.
