Creating the Earth

As you open up the Bible, the very first book you come to is Genesis.  The very first chapter talks about how God created the world, the universe, and everything in them in six days.  However, many people question this part of the Bible. They will say, "if God is the infinite being then why did it take as long as six days?" If God is this powerful he should be able to snap his fingers and everything appears.  God gives us the answer in the Bible on why it took him six days. Exodus 20:9-10 states, "six days you shall labor and do all your work, but the seventh day is a Sabbath to the Lord your God....."  God set up our typical week. He set a pattern for us to follow, and this is the same pattern we use today!

Many people believe this is a symbolic meaning and God really used Evolution to make the Earth. Ken Ham mentioned a word cannot have a symbolic meaning unless it has a literal one first.  God not only introduce the word day in Genesis, but he also defined it as He invented it.  Genesis 1:4-5 states, "God saw that the light was good, and he separated the light from the darkness. God called the light 'day,' and the darkness he called 'night.' And there was evening, and there was morning--the first day."

Some people believe the days represent millions of years.  However this too would make no sense! Adam was created on the sixth day and lived through the seventh.  In Genesis 5:5 it says Adam was 930 when he died.  If people believe that each day is a million of years then that would greatly contradict the Bible!

Evolution means that ever since the Earth was inhabited with humans and animals, there has been competition amongst them. The motto for Evolution is "survival of the fittest."  This does not correspond with what the Bible says!  When God made everything he mentioned it as good.  The Earth was a sinless place, sin only entered when the serpent deceived Adam and Eve.  From Adams state of rebellion everyone now are sinners.  We are in a rebellion against God!   Before the fall of man, everything God made was perfect.  There was no competition, and animals ate from the Earth.  The Bible does not support anything about Evolution!

"Evolutionists would say death and struggle led to man's existence. The Bible says man's rebellious actions led to death."

The Christians who accept Evolution and put God into the equation are destroying the very foundation of the Gospel message they profess to believe!
