Two Major ‘Origins Biology’ views in Christianity: Study Packet, Page 3
- How do Christians believe life started on earth?
- Old-Earth Creation: The belief that God created the earth millions or billions of years ago
- - They take a figurative interpretation of Genesis 1-2
- - - They believe Genesis tells “Who” created, but doesn’t tell “how”
- - This is a newer view!
- - Theistic Evolution: This related belief, believes that God used evolution to create biological life
- Young-Earth Creation: The belief that God created the earth anywhere from 6,000-20,000 years ago—in a literal 6-day period.
- - They take a literal interpretation of Genesis 1-2
- - This is the traditional, historic biblical view.
How the Bible Says that Life Started on Earth: Study Packet, Page 3 (Genesis 1-2)
- God is an eternally living Being,
- - He has always existed
- - All life came from him
- - - Therefore, life came from life
- In the beginning...
- - God created:
- - - The heavens (sky and space)
- - - The earth
- - He did this with His
- - - Power
- - - Wisdom (understanding)
- - God created these & He also…
- - - Preserves (or 'holds together') His creation
- In 6 days God created…
- - Day 1) Light
- - Day 2) The sky
- - Day 3) Dry ground & plants
- - Day 4) The sun, moon, & stars
- - Day 5) Water & air animals
- - Day 6) Land animals & humans
- Animals & plants were to produce offspring…
- - "Of the same kind" (ruling out macroevolution)
- - There is a 'reproductive link‘ between all animals
- - - E.g. Dogs are all connected
- On the 7th day, God rested—
- - This is called the Sabbath
- - Most Christians now celebrate this on Sunday
- - - Why? It is in honor of Jesus’s resurrection day
- - - E.g. Acts 20:7 & Rev. 1:10
