  1. Chapter 8C Biblical Creationism

  2. The Short-Day Theory • A literal interpretation • Each day (morning and evening) was a 24-hour period.

  3. The Short-Day Theory • “Morning and evening” • Use of the Hebrew word “yom” • Exodus 20:9-11

  4. Nonliteral Interpretations of Creation

  5. Theistic Evolution • A mixture of the Bible and evolution • Tries to interpret biblical statements to support evolution as God’s method of creation

  6. Day-Age Theory(Long-Day Theory) • Holds that the seven days in Genesis 1 were long periods of time or ages

  7. Progressive Creationism • Holds that the earth is millions of years old and that at particular moments in time, God created new creatures

  8. Framework Hypothesis • Tries to interpret Genesis in a literary light

  9. First creation fall • of Satan new creation The Gap Theory • Holds that there was a long period of time between Genesis 1:1 and Genesis 1:2

  10. Arguments Against The Gap Theory • 1 Corinthians 15:45 • Romans 5:14 • Romans 5:12 • Exodus 20:11

  11. Noah’s Flood & Fossils

  12. Noah’s Flood • Antediluvian • The earth before the flood • Postdiluvian • The earth after the flood

  13. Reasons for a Universal Flood • God’s revelation to Noah • Purpose of the flood • Genesis 6:13, 17

  14. Reasons for a Universal Flood • Confirmation in the New Testament • Luke 17:27 • 2 Peter 2:5 and 3:6

  15. Reasons for a Universal Flood • The covenant of the rainbow • Genesis 9:11-15 • The continental shelves and seamounts

  16. Reasons for a Universal Flood • Universality of the fossil record • The waters covered the mountains to over 20 feet. • Fossils have been found on mountaintops.

  17. Reasons for a Universal Flood • The duration of the Flood was over a year. • If the Flood was local, the ark would have been unnecessary.

  18. Fossil Lasting evidence of a once-living organism Fossilization The formation of fossils

  19. Types of Fossils • Preservation of parts • Preservation of carbon (coal) • Preservation of forms • Preservation of tracks • Petrification • Freezing

  20. The Deluge & Fossilization • The Flood described in Genesis 6-9 is referred to as the deluge.

  21. The Deluge & Fossilization • Sedimentation • laying down of materials • Sedimentary rock • layers of rock deposits

  22. The Deluge & Fossilization • Evolutionists propose fossil formation by many smaller catastrophes. • Suggest that fossils are a progressive record

  23. Support for the Deluge-Fossilization Theory • Abundant fossilization is not taking place today. • Fossil arrangement & abundance • Polystrate fossils

  24. Support for the Deluge-Fossilization Theory • Fossilization must be rapid. • Most fossils required water for formation.
