  1. In the Beginning: Science and Genesis 1-11 “If the foundations are destroyed, what can the righteous do?“ Psalm 11:3

  2. Bible vs. Evolution The Bible versus Evolution

  3. 6 Days vs. Millions of Years

  4. Genesis 1:31 “And God saw all that He had made, and behold, it was very good.”

  5. Jacques Monad: “Selection is the blindest and most cruel way of evolving a new species...because it is a process of elimination, of destruction. The struggle for life and the elimination of the weakest is a horrible process...”

  6. Jacques Monad: “I am surprised that a Christian would defend dthe idea that this is the process which God more or less set up in order to have evolution.”

  7. Genesis One

  8. Genesis One Emphasized

  9. “What do these time segments add to the creation narrative in Genesis Chapter 1?”

  10. Yom

  11. Long Period Words

  12. How Long Did the Work of Creation Take? “When Moses writes that God created heaven and earth and whatever is in them in six days, then let this period continue to have been six days, and do not venture to devise any comment according to which six days were one day.” What Martin Luther Says - A Practical In-Home Anthology for the Active, p. 1523

  13. “But, if you cannot understand how this could have been done in six days, then grant the Holy Spirit the honor of being more learned than you are.”

  14. “For you are to deal with Scripture in such a way that you bear in mind that God Himself says what is written.”

  15. “But since God is speaking, it is not fitting for you wantonly to turn His Word in the direction you wish to go.”

  16. Does it really matter in our Christian walk whether Genesis 1 happened in six days, six thousand years or six million years?

  17. Dr. Henry Morris “Returning to Houston later to teach at Rice gave the opportunity of trying to witness to college students concerning their need for Christ. These were intelligent students, most of them majors in science and engineering, and I quickly discovered that the same old questions that had troubled me were also hindering many others from believing.”

  18. Dr. Henry Morris: “Central to all these problems was the question of the reliability of Scripture, especially the book of Genesis. If Genesis were not historically trustworthy, then simple logic showed that neither was the rest of the Bible, including its testimony about Christ.”

  19. It’s the true Word of God! • Why should we take seriously what the Bible says over any other “religious” book? • Aren’t science and religion separate disciplines that do not involve each other? • Is there compelling evidence for evolution? • Isn’t Genesis just an allegory and not intended to be read as a narrative of how the earth and all that is in it was created? • Don’t the days indicated in Genesis Chapter 1 really mean long periods of time and not literal, 24-hour days? No! No! (As the evolutionists define it.) No! No!

  20. Acts14:15 “…we… preach the gospel to you in order that you should turn from these vain things to a living God, WHO MADE THE HEAVEN AND THE EARTH AND THE SEA, AND ALL THAT IS IN THEM.”

  21. 2nd Peter 1:21 “for no prophecy was ever made by an act of human will, but men moved by the Holy Spirit spoke from God.”

  22. Luke 24:27 “And beginning with Moses and with all the prophets, He explained to them the things concerning Himself in all the Scriptures.”

  23. Dr. Nelson Glueck: “…it may be stated categorically that no archaeological discovery has ever controverted a Biblical reference. Scores of archaeological findings have been made which confirm in clear outline or in exact detail historical statements in the Bible.”

  24. Genesis 22:17 “indeed I will greatly bless you, and I will greatly multiply your seed as the stars of the heavens, and as the sand which is on the seashore…” Excerpt from God of Wonders, used by permission, Eternal Productions www.eternal-productions.org

  25. The Genesis Record: “No one knows the exact number of the stars but it can be roughly estimated… as approximately 10 to the 25th power. … (and) the number of sand-sized particles would also be calculated as 10 to the 25th power. Although such a calculation may well be considerably in error, it at least shows that the stars and the sand are of about the same order of magnitude in number.”

  26. The Genesis Record: “This fact could not have been discovered by men without the telescope; so it constitutes one of the many remarkable examples of modern scientific truth found in the pages of the Bible long before scientists could have learned them by the scientific method.”

  33. Genesis 1:1 “In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth.”

  34. Genesis 1:1 “In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth.”

  35. In the beginning = bereshith The creation of all space, all time and all matter. The heavens and the earth had a definite beginning; they have not existed eternally and they therefore have a specific age.

  36. Genesis 1:1 “In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth.” Elohim, the uni-plurality of God we term the trinity.

  37. Genesis 1:1 “In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth.” Bara - Only God can create!

  38. Hebrews 11:3 “By faith we understand that the worlds were prepared by the word of God, so that what is seen was not made out of things which are visible.”

  39. The Law of Cause and Effect Every material effect must have an adequate cause that existed before the effect.

  40. Exodus 3:14 And God said to Moses, ‘I AM WHO I AM;’ and He said, “Thus you shall say to the sons of Israel, ‘I AM has sent me to you.’”

  41. Colossians 1:15-17 “And He (Jesus Christ) is the image of the invisible God, the first-born of all creation. For by Him all things were created, both in the heavens and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or dominions or rulers or authorities – all things have been created by Him and for Him. And He is before all things, and in Him all things hold together.”

  42. Genesis 1:1 “In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth.”
