Creation of Light, Gustave Doré

 1In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth. 2 And the earth was without form, and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters.3 And God said, Let there be light: and there was light.4 And God saw the light, that it was good: and God divided the light from the darkness.5 And God called the light Day, and the darkness he called Night. And the evening and the morning were the first day.

And the evening and the morning were the sixth day.

MARK 10:6But from the beginning of the creation God made them male and female.

GENESIS 1:2727 So God created man in his own

image, in the image of God created he him; male and female

created he them.

in our image, after our likeness:

JOHN 1:1,31 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. 3 All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made.

GENESIS 2:22 And on the seventh day God

ended his work which he had made; and he rested on the seventh day from all his work

which he had made.

HEBREWS 4:44 For he spake in a certain place of the seventh day on this wise, And God did rest the seventh day from all his works.2 PETER 3:66 Whereby the world that then was, being overflowed with water, perished:

GENESIS 6:1717 And, behold, I, even I, do bring a

flood of waters upon the earth, to

destroy all flesh, wherein is the

breath of life, from under heaven;

and every thing that is in the earth

shall die.

JOHN 1:33All things were made by him, and without him was not any thing made that was made.

16For by him were all things created, that are in heaven, and that are in earth, visible and invisible, whether they be thrones, or dominions, or principalities, or powers: all things were created by him, and for him: 17And he is before all things, and by him all things consist.

11, there are many respected theologians,

philosophers, and scientists that believe Adam was created by God around

OVERVIEW

• God created the Heavens & the Earth, all the animals, as well as Adam & Eve in six 24 hour days around 6,000 years ago.

• Man was Tempted & Sinned

• Death Entered the World• Because of Sin All Must

Now Die

1 CORINTHIANS 15:21-22, 4521 For since by man came death, by man came also the resurrection of the dead. 22 For as in Adam all die, even so in Christ shall all be made alive.45 And so it is written, The first man Adam was made a living soul; the last Adam was made a quickening spirit.

Dar·win·ism (därw-nizm)n. A theory of biological evolution developed by Charles Darwin and others, stating that all species of organisms arise and develop over a vast period of time through the natural selection of small, inherited variations that increase the individual's ability to compete, survive, and reproduce.Natural Selection: the process whereby organisms better adapted to their environment tend to survive and produce more offspring. The theory of its action was first fully expounded by Charles Darwin and is now believed to be the main process that brings about evolution.

Biological evolution, simply put, is descent with modification. Through the process of descent with modification, the common ancestor of life on Earth gave rise to the fantastic diversity that we see documented in the fossil record and around us today. Evolution means that we're all distant cousins: humans and oak trees, hummingbirds and whales.

• WHAT BENEFIT IS 2% OF AN EYE?• WOULDN’T IT HAVE BEEN ELIMINATED IF IT DIDN’T IMPROVE THE SPECIES ABILITY TO SURVIVE?• IF IT WASN’T, WHAT WOULD DIRECT AND GUIDE ITS CONTINUED DEVELOPMENT INTO THE COMPLEXITY WE SEE TODAY?• HOW MANY THOUSANDS OF GENETIC COINCIDENCES WOULD HAVE TO OCCUR PERFECTLY TO GET A FULLY FUNCTIONING EYE?• DOES THAT HONESTLY SOUND REASONABLE?

THE HUMAN EYE

The human eye works by some 40 different parts functioning together. If just one of these is

not present, the eye will serve no purpose. Each of these 40 parts has its own individual complex structure. For instance, the retina, at the back of the eye, is made up of 11 strata

each of which has a different function.

“To suppose that the eye, with all its inimitable

contrivances for adjusting the focus to different

distances, for admitting different amounts of light, and for the correction of spherical and chromatic

aberration, could have been

formed by natural selection, seems, I freely confess, absurd in the highest

possible degree.”

• EVEN IF A CELL COULD ACCIDENTALLY ARISE BY CHANCE CIRCUMSTANCES, THEN…• HOW LONG WOULD YOU EXPECT IT TO SURVIVE ON IT’S OWN?• HOW COULD IT POSSIBLY LEARN TO MAKE AN EXACT COPY OF ITSELF?• IF IT AROSE BY CHANCE, WHY WOULD IT MAKE A COPY OF ITSELF?

A Single Cell is as a Complicated as New York City!

HOW COULD THAT POSSIBLY HAPPEN

BY CHANCE?

“When the mathematical laws of probability are applied to the known facts of

biology, the odds against the

incredible, organized complexity of our biological

world evolving through blind

chance, plus time, are so astronomical in size that, for

all practical purposes, evolution is mathematically

impossible.”

A BREIF OVERVIEW

• Time, space, & matter exploded from nothing 5 billion years ago.

• Over millions of years planets and complex atmospheres formed from the dust of this explosion.

• Rain fell on the early earth over millions of years forming the “primordial soup”

• A single cell formed by accident in this liquid environment.

• This first cell evolved into every species on earth through millions of years of natural selection, death, and disease, eventually arriving at the origination of human.

THEISTIC EVOLUTION

GAP THEORY

PROGRESSIVE CREATION

DAY/AGE THEORY

FRAMEWORK HYPOTHESIS

All of these schools of thought seek to combine a belief in God and the Bible with the ideals of evolution

and the millions of years

Read “The Danger of BioLogos: Blurring the Line Between Creation and Evolution” by John Upchurch at AnswersInGenesis.com

2 PETER 3:8But, beloved, be not ignorant of this one thing, that one day is with the Lord as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day.

THIS VERSE DESCRIBES THE ABSENCE OF TIME WHEN WE ARE WITH THE LORD, IT DOES NOT SUGGEST THAT THE WORD “DAY” IN GENESIS COULD BE UNDERSTOOD AS A THOUSAND YEARS.

• There is no scripture to support this idea• It completely undermines the authority of the Bible• The gospel is totally diluted by this compromise• It is based on the beliefs of atheist secular scientists• It suggests a resistance to accept, or a shame in believing, the inspired word of God

A SPIRITUALLY DANGEROUS COMBINATIONThe concept of evolution is completely contradictory to the

Genesis account of a literal six day creation.

The two ideas are absolutely incompatible!

“Whosoever therefore shall be ashamed of me and of my words in this adulterous and sinful generation; of him also shall the Son of man be ashamed, when he cometh in the glory of his Father with the holy angels.”

- Mark 8:38

CAN I BELIEVE IN

BOTH?YES.

BUT WHY WOULD YOU WANT TO?

That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. 

ROMANS 10:9

JOHN 3:16,1816 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. 18 He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God.

THE TWO IDEAS ARE CATEGORICALLY AT ODDS WITH ONE ANOTHER

GOD CREATES, 6,000 YRS, MAN SINS, DEATH ENTERS THE WORLD

BIG BANG, BILLIONS OF YEARS, DEATH & SUFFERING, THEN MAN

TO TRY AND BELIEVE IN BOTH IS TO NOT FULLY UNDERSTAND

WHAT EITHER BELIEF IS TEACHING

CAN I BELIEVE IN

BOTH?YES.

BUT HONESTLY ASK YOURSELF THIS…

• Do I believe what the Bible teaches about Jesus being born by a Virgin?

• Do I believe what the Bible teaches about Jesus living a perfect life?

• Do I believe what the Bible teaches about Jesus dying on the cross for my sins?

• Do I believe what the Bible teaches about Jesus resurrecting from the dead?

IF I HONESTLY BELIEVE, IN MY

HEART, IN ALL OF THESE BIBLICAL TRUTHS, WHY

WOULDN’T I BELIEVE WHAT THE BIBLE TEACHES ABOUT

JESUS SPEAKING THE WORLD INTO

EXISTENCE AND CREATING ALL LIVING

CREATURES IN SIX DAYS?

20 And we know that the Son of God is come, and hath given us an understanding, that we may know him that is true, and we are in him that is true, even in his Son Jesus Christ. This is the true God, and eternal life.
