God created the entire universe, including the earth and everything in it, in just six days through the power of his spoken word. He formed the first man and woman in his image to rule over his creation. God uniquely created each person and knit them together in their mother's womb. The theory of evolution is rejected because its proponents deliberately deny what the Bible clearly teaches about creation and instead follow their own desires. True understanding of origins can only come by faith in God's revelation.

Creator!

2. INTRODUCTION
Here are three pictures of houses (clip out
three very different houses from the
newspaper) Tell several things about the
person that originally designed or built the
houses. (rich or poor, different design
features—ornate or simple, number of levels
etc.) Hebrews 3:4 tells us that every house
was built by someone, but God is the builder
of all things. God created them and his
creation tells us a lot about the builder, God.

3. STUDYING GOD’S WORD
Where did the earth come from?

4. Exodus 20:11
For in six days the LORD made the
heavens and the earth, the sea, and all that
is in them, but he rested on the seventh
day. Therefore the LORD blessed the
Sabbath day and made it holy.

5. God made the earth and everything in it
in six days - Genesis tells us what God
did each day by saying - …”there was
evening and there was morning the
____ day”. This passage tells us how
many days God created the world in.
What does this say to those that deny
that God created the world and that it
took millions and millions of years to
evolve? It didn’t even take God one
year - only six - 24 hour days.

6. Psalm 33:6;9
6 By the word of the LORD were the
heavens made, their starry host by the
breath of his mouth. 9 For he spoke, and it
came to be; he commanded, and it stood
firm.
What did God use to make the world?

7. God made the world by His Word. God
wasn’t like a person that takes a piece of
clay and shapes it so that it becomes a
plate or a vase. God had nothing to start
with. He just said, “Let there be…” and
there it was. Whatever God commanded
just happened. So when we use the word
create with God, we mean that he made
something out of nothing by the almighty
power of just His Word.

8. God made the world and everything
in it out of nothing in six days by
simply speaking his Word.

9. STUDYING GOD’S WORD
Where did each of us come from?

10. Isaiah 45:12
It is I who made the earth and created
mankind upon it. My own hands
stretched out the heavens; I
marshaled their starry hosts.

11. God created human beings at the same
time he created the world. Genesis 2
tells us how he created man in a
special way. He gave them the breath
of life and he made woman out of
man’s rib. Man and woman were very
special to God, the crown of his
creation.

12. Genesis 1:27-28
So God created man in his own image,
in the image of God he created him;
male and female he created them. 28
God blessed them and said to them, “Be
fruitful and increase in number; fill the
earth and subdue it. Rule over the fish of
the sea and the birds of the air and over
every living creature that moves on the
ground.”

13. What is special about the creation of
people?
God made man and woman in His own
image to rule over everything. God made
Adam and Eve like himself. They were
holy and served God perfectly. God also
made it clear that when they were created
they were not just another animal, but
were placed as rulers over all things. All
this was lost with the first sin.

14. Job 31:15
Did not he who made me in the womb
make them? Did not the same one form
us both within our mothers?

15. God formed each of us in our mother’s
womb. God wants you to know that you
were not just an accident of nature. You
aren’t here by chance. You are as
special as Adam and Eve in God’s
creation, so He formed you in your
mother’s womb.

16. Ecclesiastes 12:7
and the dust returns to the ground it came
from, and the spirit returns to God who
gave it.

17. God made each of us with a body and
soul. You have one thing that no animal
has—a soul. When each of us dies, as
the verse says, our body is put in the
ground out of which Adam’s body was
first made. Our soul goes before God to
be judged and await the resurrection of
the body on the last day. We thank God
that he will bring our souls immediately to
heaven because of faith in Jesus.

18. God formed the first man and
woman in His image to rule over
everything and he formed me in
my mother’s womb with a body
and soul.

19. STUDYING GOD’S WORD
Why don’t we accept the theory
of Evolution?

20. 2 Peter 3:3;5
First of all, you must understand that in
the last days scoffers will come, scoffing
and following their own evil desires. 5
But they deliberately forget that long
ago by God’s word the heavens existed
and the earth was formed out of water
and by water.

21. Those who teach evolution are unbelievers
who deliberately deny God created the
world. Perhaps you had a friend or sibling
that refused to believe that you had just
drawn a beautiful picture. Even though you
had your mother vouch for you and the
color pencils were still sitting on the table,
the other person stubbornly refused to
believe you. It sounds silly, but that is what
the teachers of evolution do. All around
them is proof that only God made
something so wonderful and complex as the
world, but they refuse to believe it.

22. Hebrews 11:3
By faith we understand that the universe
was formed at God’s command, so that
what is seen was not made out of what
was visible.
What is the one way it is possible to
believe God created the universe with
his word?

23. It is only by faith that we can know how
this world came to be. Were there any
eye witnesses to creation? No. Neither
were there any scientists to observe for
billions of years things evolving from
nothing. Only God was there, and he
tells us how he did it. Who are we?
Who is any human being to dare to
say, “God didn’t create this incredibly
complex and orderly world.”

24. We don’t accept the theory of
evolution because those who teach
it are unbelievers who don’t want to
accept what we can know only by
faith.

25. CHRISTIAN VOCABULARY
Creation: God made the whole world in six
days out of nothing but His powerful Word.
Evolution: Scientific theory that all things
have come through a long process of
change & development over millions of
years.
God’s Image: Adam and Eve were created
to be holy and perfect as God their creator
was.

26. GOD’S WORD IN MY LIFE
1. Prove why this statement is true. It
takes more faith to believe in evolution
than it does to believe in creation.
2. People that believe in evolution
rather than the Bible’s account of
creation have a whole different view on
life. Why?

27. FACING THE REAL FACTS
BELIEF BIBLE’S TEACHING ON THEORY OF
CREATION EVOLUTION
Time of creation six 24-hour days billions of years
Method of creation God’s Word and decree Chance—something
from nothing
The existence of man a special creation of God an advanced animal
Man’s purpose to thank and obey God none — but to please
self

28. POINTS TO PONDER
Why is faith in evolution preferred by so
many over faith in what Scripture tells us
is true?
Evolution may appear to make more
logical sense to the human mind—or
does it?

29. Let’s take evolution to its logical end. If the
theory of evolution is true, then there never
were two human beings who began the
human race since man emerged gradually
from animal ancestry. Then there was
obviously no disobedience in the Garden
of Eden - no such thing as “sin” defined by
the Bible. All the bad things in the world
happen because people and animals are
not acting as evolved as they should be.
Things should always be getting better
over time. (ARE THINGS REALLY
GETTING BETTER?)

30. Now if there is no sin, then there is
no need for a Savior from sin. Mankind is
not sinful by nature, but is getting better
and better as they evolve. Christ’s work
was unnecessary. We have no need for
Christmas and Easter. Jesus was only a
good guy that got framed, he was not our
Redeemer. The conflict comes down to
this. There are two faiths — either you
believe in creation or you believe in
evolution. In the end, choices must be
made:

31. Either there is a God or everything just
happened by chance.
Either the human race is responsible to
God its creator or they are just
sophisticated animals who are subject
only to themselves.
Either we are sinners in need of a
Savior or we are only occasional
beasts who simply need more
evolutionary improvement to survive.

32. Either God created the world or the
Bible is a BIG myth.
Either Jesus is God’s Son who saved the
world from sin, or he is a liar and a crazy
lunatic.

33. The choice is made easy when we
realize that God gives us faith
through the Holy Spirit to believe His
Word to be true. Creation isn’t just
one possibility, but it is the only reality
through faith.

believes the theory of evolution.
