14. Rom. 5:12
12 Therefore,
just as through one man
sin entered into the world, and death
through sin, and so death spread to
all men, because all sinned—

15. I Cor. 15:21
21 For
since by a man came death, by
a man also came the resurrection of
the dead.

16. Rom. 6:23
23 For
the wages of sin is death, but
the free gift of God is eternal life in
Christ Jesus our Lord.

17. Gen. 1:2
The earth was…

19. Gen. 1:2
… and darkness was over the
surface of the deep…

20. Gen. 1:2
… and the Spirit of God was moving
over the surface of the waters.…

22. “If the earth is to be energized, there
needs to be an energizer. If it is to be
set into motion, there needs to be a
Prime Mover.”
- Henry Morris, The Genesis Record pg. 51

23. Genesis 1:2 says that once raw material was
