Our main resource on Creation is Dr. Kent
Hovind who is, in our view, the world
expert on Creation:

Many of the slides in this presentation are used with the kind permission of Dr Kent Hovind. We have
personally met Dr Kent Hovind when he lectured on Creation and Evolution at the Lakenheath
American Air Force base in Suffolk, UK. There is a great deal of free Creation material at his Creation
Science Evangelism web site www.drdino.com.
We thoroughly recommend Dr Kent Hovind's books, videos and DVD's, which are inexpensive, and of
excellent quality.
When we met him, Dr Kent Hovind gave our UK charity, The Final Frontier Charitable Trust, his
personal permission to use his excellent teaching material and slides, for which we are extremely
grateful. Much of the Creation and Evolution material presented here is Dr Kent Hovind's original
teaching about Creation and Evolution.

Some of Dr Kent Hovind's teaching has been adapted, and supplemented, with our own original
material, and also with ideas and teachings from the following excellent teachers on Creation: Dr
Chuck Missler, Dr Carl Baugh, Dr David Rosevear, and Dr Roger Oakland.
Dr Kent Hovind is a retired science teacher, who now speaks on Creation, Evolution, and Dinosaurs,
all over the world. Dr Kent Hovind is invited every year to speak at Chuck Missler's "Steeling the
Mind" conference in the USA. He frequently appears on Dr Carl Baugh's excellent TV series, "Creation
in the 21st Century," on TBN Christian TV, which is transmitted all over the world. Dr Kent Hovind is
frequently seen on TV in debates about Creation, particularly with Dr Hugh Ross.
Sadly all great men of God attract criticism, and there appear to be a number of critics of Dr Kent
Hovind. Creation is not a politically correct science in our atheist, secular world. Historically virtually
all great men of God have been persecuted, beginning with Jesus Christ and His disciples. This
criticism of Kent Hovind comes mainly from Evolutionists, but also from certain well known Creation
ministries.
We have researched Creation for over 20 years. By far the best teacher, and the most accurate, in
our opinion, is Dr Kent Hovind. We are absolutely delighted to be associated with this great man of
God. Dr Kent Hovind's material is easily understood. He has excellent teaching skills, his slides are
excellent, he has a sharp mind, and a good sense of humour. Furthermore, he is very generous with
his material, which is not copyrighted (unlike most Creation ministries).
Rather than criticise Evolutionists Dr Kent Hovind has for many years offered a $250,000 incentive for
anyone who can actually prove the Theory of Evolution. For details click here:
www.drdino.com/articles.php?spec=67. This offer has been available on his web site for many
years, and has never been claimed. In our opinion, it never will be.
In all of our lectures on different topics, we have decided to benefit from the teachings of the best
specialists in their fields, according to their actual published material, and never on the basis of
current popular opinion, whatever that opinion may be.
The current popular opinion about Creation is that it is a fairy story. If the scoffers and sceptics about
Creation are so sure of their Evolution theories, why have none of them managed to write a simple
thesis to prove the Theory of Evolution, and earn themselves a very easy $250,000 from Kent
Hovind? If you are a sceptic or a scoffer, here is your chance to win $250,000 (click here:

8/13/2019 Creation - The Genesis Account - By Dr Richard Kent
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/creation-the-genesis-account-by-dr-richard-kent 6/87
Creation, The Biblical Account!
The Bible opens with these majestic
words: "In the beginning God created the
Heavens and the Earth," Genesis 1:1.
* In the King James Version of the Bible,
the word "Creation" appears 6 times. The
Bible clearly teaches that:
* Jesus Christ created everything.
The whole Universe is only 6,000 years old (as we shall see).
The Bible speaks unequivocally about Creation, and that Jesus Christ Himself is the Creator. Here are
a few selected passages:
John 1:1-4: "In the beginning was the Word (Jesus Christ), and the Word was with God, and the
Word was God. He was in the beginning with God. All things were made through Him, and without
Him nothing was made that was made. In Him was life, and the life was the light of men."
Colossians 1:15,16: "He (Jesus Christ) is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn over all
Creation. For by Him all things were created that are in Heaven and that are on Earth, visible and
invisible, whether thrones or dominions or principalities or powers. All things were created through
Him and for Him. And He is before all things, and in Him all things consist."
The Universe
The word "Universe" literally means, "One spoken word". The Bible clearly teaches throughout
Genesis that God spoke, and it was so.
The 6,000 year-old date of the Universe
We believe that the clear teaching of the Bible, specifically Genesis Chapter 1 and Luke Chapter 3,
teaches that:
* The whole Universe was created on Day One of the Six days of Creation (Genesis 1:1-5).
* The Hebrew words for "dusk" and "dawn" used in Genesis 1 are clearly referring to 24 hour periods
8/13/2019 Creation - The Genesis Account - By Dr Richard Kent
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/creation-the-genesis-account-by-dr-richard-kent 7/87
of time, not millions of years (see below).
* Adam was created on Day Six of the Six Days of Creation (Genesis 1:27).
* Adam was "the son of God," not the son of a monkey (Luke 3:38).
* Jesus Christ was born 77 generations after Adam, which is a period of approximately 4,000 years
(Luke 3:23-38).
* Jesus Christ was born approximately 2,000 years ago.
* Therefore Adam was born approximately 6,000 years ago.
* Adam was born at the beginning of the Creation, according to Jesus Christ in Mark 10:6 and
Matthew 19:4.
* The whole Universe was therefore also created approximately 6,000 years ago.
* This reasoning is actually very simple and straight forward, and is discussed in detail in the section
The Universe Is Only 6,000 Years Old
If this 6,000 year-old date of the Origins of the Universe is completely unacceptable to you, it is
probably because:
* You have not been exposed to full Biblical teaching before, but have only been exposed to teaching
on Evolution.
* You have been exposed to other Creation theories that try to conform to Evolution theories. See
under The Bible Is In Direct Conflict With Evolution.
* You have decided that Carbon Dating has "proved" that the Universe is billions of years old. This is
also discussed under CARBON DATING.
We invite you to study this subject with an open mind. Many people find this almost impossible. This
may be because previous exposure to teaching on Evolution that has subconsciously prejudiced their
thinking.

The Theory Of Evolution
The Theory of Evolution is discussed in great
detail on this web site, in our teaching Evolution
Is Impossible
We believe that Evolution is a belief system, not a
science.
1. Nobody was present at the Biblical Creation
6,000 years ago.
2. Nobody was present at the supposed "BigBang", whether it was 20 billion or 12 billion years
ago.
3. The two belief systems are about as far apart
as it is possible to be, a difference of 3.3 million
times in time scale alone, and a massive
difference in probabilities.
4. If you asked the average child (or non-
prejudiced adult) which of the two models, Creation or Evolution, was the more likely, there would be
no contest at all!
5. The Theory of Evolution is outrageous to virtually everybody in Africa, India, Pakistan, South East
Asia and South America, irrespective of their religious or cultural background.
6. Two thirds of the world's population believe that this planet was created.
7. There is a wide variation of opinion amongst those 4 billion people about how and when the world
was created, but the cultures of approximately 4 billion people still believe in Creation.
8. University professors and teachers of Western "civilised" society believe they know better than
everybody else, and are frantically trying to convert everybody else to their new religion called
Evolution, all caused by a "god" called "chance".
9. In our Western First World society Creation is widely ridiculed.
8/13/2019 Creation - The Genesis Account - By Dr Richard Kent
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/creation-the-genesis-account-by-dr-richard-kent 9/87
10. In the rest of the world, predominantly Second and Third World societies, Evolution is regarded as
absurd.
11. Evolutionists love to talk about "primitive life forms," which do not exist in the real world. If life is
so "simple" and "primitive", these clever people should have no problem at all creating a "simple life
form" in a laboratory. So far, they have not!
12. In the real world, all life is incredibly complex, as many scientists quoted in our teaching on
Evolution Is Impossible have acknowledged.
13. Most people in Western cultures have been taught to accept unquestioningly certain principles,
one of which is the Theory of Evolution.
14. The Theory of Evolution is a theory, not a fact.
15. The idea that life evolved by "Spontaneous Generation" out of nothing is a belief, and is contrary
to the Law of Biogenesis.
16. No unambiguous information, acceptable in a science laboratory or a court of law, confirms the
Creation of Life by means of any Evolutionary process.
17. If such information is available to you, or anyone you know of, world wide, please feel free to
write your thesis, and claim your $250,000 offered by Dr Kent Hovind Click here.
18. Scientists have no clear data supporting the idea that life evolved over millions of years.
19. There is no known way to test experimentally the idea that the Origin of the Universe resulted
from a ""Big Bang", or that life arose by "Spontaneous Generation."
20. Most of modern science, as taught in our Western schools and universities, is atheist when
considering the Origins of Life.
21. Biblical accounts of the Origins of space, matter, time, energy, and life are considered to be
"outside the realms of science." In fact the Bible is a very scientific book, as demonstrated in our
teaching The Bible is Supernatural on this web site.
22. Unfortunately neither the Biblical Creation Model nor the Evolution Model can be subjected to the
normal scientific experimental processes. They are both belief systems.
8/13/2019 Creation - The Genesis Account - By Dr Richard Kent
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/creation-the-genesis-account-by-dr-richard-kent 10/87
23. In order to have a serious discussion about either Creation or Evolution, an unprejudiced person
will have to abandon concepts that Science has "proved Evolution."
24. Science cannot prove or disprove Creation or Evolution.
25. Instead we all have to make observations about our Solar system and our Planet Earth, and come
to conclusions based on our observations. This does not involve the use of the normal scientific
method.
26. To study both Creation and Evolution we have to use a different method, but this is the only
method that is available to us. We can make observations and conclusions, but we cannot test these
theories.
27. We believe that the process of actual scientific observation and conclusion very strongly supports
Creation, as we intend to demonstrate.
Does It Matter Whether This Universe Was Created By God, Or EvolvedSpontaneously?
We believe that Christians should teach
only Creation, because:
1. The Bible is at stake, since the Bible
supports only Creation.
2. The credibility of Jesus Christ is at
stake, since He is stated to be the
Creator.
3. The Book of Genesis in particular is at
stake, since Jesus quoted Genesis 25 times.
Evolution is not a benign belief that can comfortably co-exist with Creation
1. Either the Bible is rubbish, so we should discard both the Bible, and Jesus Christ.
2. Or Evolution is rubbish, and we should discard Evolution, and stop teaching it as fact.
8/13/2019 Creation - The Genesis Account - By Dr Richard Kent
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/creation-the-genesis-account-by-dr-richard-kent 11/87
3. There is no middle ground. God could not possibly have used Evolution, as will be discussed in
Evolution is Impossible.
4. The Bible says in Luke 3:38 that Adam was "the son of God", not the son of a monkey!
5. If Adam was "the son of God" according to Luke 3:38, Evolution is teaching a non Biblical heresy.
6. Evolution is totally opposed to Biblical teaching, as we will attempt to demonstrate.
7. We believe that teaching on Evolution since 1859 is the main reason that the Western World has
largely abandoned true Bible based Christianity.
How Long Has God Existed?
God is eternal, and has always existed.
Time is the 4th dimension, which He
created on the First Day of Creation (see
under The Genesis Account Of
Creation - The First Day). God lives in
eternity, which is outside space time
completely.
This is stated in the following 3 verses,
amongst many others:
Isaiah 57:15: "Thus says the High and
Lofty One Who inhabits eternity, whose
name is Holy: "I dwell in the high and
holy place."
Revelation 1:8: "I am the Alpha and the Omega, the Beginning and the End," says the Lord, "who is
and who was and who is to come, the Almighty."
Colossians 1:15-17, "Christ is the exact likeness of the unseen God. He existed before God made
anything at all, and, in fact, Christ himself is the Creator who made everything in Heaven and Earth,
the things we can see and the things we can't; the spirit world with its kings and kingdoms, its rulers
8/13/2019 Creation - The Genesis Account - By Dr Richard Kent
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/creation-the-genesis-account-by-dr-richard-kent 12/87
and authorities; all were made by Christ for his own use and glory. He was before all else began and
it is his power that holds everything together," TLB.
Jesus Christ Created Everything
The Creation of the Heavens and
Earth
The Bible begins with the majestic words:
"In the beginning God created the
Heavens and the Earth", Genesis 1:1. The
Hebrew word for "God" used here is
"Elohiym." The word is plural, and literally
means "Gods." Therefore Gods (Father,
Son and Holy Spirit) created the Heavens
and the Earth.
The Creation of Man
Genesis 1:26-27: "Then God said, "Let Us
make man in Our image, according to Our likeness. So God created man in His own image; in the
image of God He created him; male and female He created them".
The Hebrew word for "God" used here is "Elohiym". The word is plural, and literally means "Gods."
There were of course Three of Them: The Father, The Son, and The Holy Spirit. This is the first
mention in the Bible of the Trinity.
Adam In The Bible
Before we can establish the age of the
Universe, according to the Bible, we need to
establish that Adam was a real person.
There is a tendency in many cultures to
consign Adam to fairyland.
8/13/2019 Creation - The Genesis Account - By Dr Richard Kent
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/creation-the-genesis-account-by-dr-richard-kent 13/87
Actually Adam is one of the most important characters in the entire Bible.
The name Adam is mentioned a total of 30 times in the Bible. The name Adam appears 21 times in
the Old Testament, and 9 times in the New Testament.
We either accept that Adam was a real person, or throw away the entire Bible. By contrast:
The title "John the Baptist" is mentioned only 14 times.
Joseph, the stepfather of Jesus Christ, is mentioned 15 times in the Bible (7 times in Matthew, 6
times in Luke, and 2 times in John.)
Adam is therefore mentioned more than the title "John the Baptist" and Jesus' stepfather Joseph
combined!
Supernatural evidence that Adam was a real person
There is supernatural evidence that Adam was a real person. The following is used with permission
from The Genealogy of Noah in Genesis Chapter 5 (from "The Bible: An Extraterrestrial Message" by
Chuck Missler).
The ancestors of Noah are recorded in Genesis 5. There are a total of 10 names, each with a specific
Hebrew meaning. The English translations for the Hebrew words are recorded below.
Hebrew English Meaning
Adam Man (is)
Seth Appointed
Enosh Mortal
Caanan Sorrow (but)
Mahalalel The Blessed God
Jared Shall Come Down
Enoch Teaching (that)
Methuselah His death shall bring
Lamech The despairing
Noah Comfort
The English meanings of Noah's ancestors thus read:
"Man (is) appointed mortal sorrow, (but) the Blessed God shall come down, teaching that
His death shall bring the despairing comfort."
This is the Gospel of Jesus Christ, rendered in the names of the ancestors of Noah. Nobody can
choose the names of the parents or grandparents. This is one of the many proofs of the supernaturalauthority of the Bible. For further irrefutable evidence about the supernatural authority of the Bible,
8/13/2019 Creation - The Genesis Account - By Dr Richard Kent
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/creation-the-genesis-account-by-dr-richard-kent 14/87
please visit The Bible is Supernatural on this web site.
We have therefore proved that Adam was a real person both from the Bible, and from the Genealogy
of Noah.
The Universe Is Only 6,000 Years Old
When Did God Create The Universe?
- The Bible tells us that Jesus Christ
created everything.
- Jesus Christ certainly knows when He
created the Universe!
- This information is provided in the Bible
for those who seek to know.
- We need to do some very simple detective work to find out when the Universe was created.
Summary of the 6,000 Year-Old Date of the Universe
We believe that the clear teaching of the Bible, specifically Genesis Chapter 1 and Luke Chapter 3,
teaches that:
- The whole Universe was created on Day One of the Six days of Creation (Genesis 1:1-5).
- The Hebrew words for "dusk" and "dawn" used in Genesis 1 are clearly referring to 24 hour periods
of time, not millions of years (see below).
- Adam was created on Day Six of the Six Days of Creation (Genesis 1:27).
- Adam was "the son of God," not the son of a monkey (Luke 3:38).
- Jesus Christ was born 77 generations after Adam, which is a period of approximately 4,000 years
8/13/2019 Creation - The Genesis Account - By Dr Richard Kent
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/creation-the-genesis-account-by-dr-richard-kent 15/87
(Luke 3:23-38).
- Jesus Christ was born approximately 2,000 years ago.
- Therefore Adam was born approximately 6,000 years ago.
- Adam was born at the beginning of the Creation, according to Jesus Christ in Mark 10:6 and
Matthew 19:4.
- The whole Universe was therefore also created approximately 6,000 years ago.
Warning about human traditions
Jesus rebuked the Pharisees because of their traditional teaching Mark 7:13, "(you) make the Word of
God of no effect through your tradition."
In the last 150 years many people in the Western world have taught that Genesis is incorrect.
In fact, Jesus quoted 25 times from Genesis.
- Was Jesus flawed in His understanding of the Origins of the Universe?
- Did Jesus not understand Evolution?
- Were Evolutionists present at the Origin of the Universe?
- Do Evolutionists think they know more than Jesus Christ?
- The Bible is perfectly clear if you have an inquiring mind and are not prejudiced by previous
teaching on Evolution!
Detailed Study Of The 6,000 Year-old Date Of The Universe
The Bible clearly states says that the Universe, Life, and Man were all created over six literal days,
about 6,000 years ago. According to the Bible God took six 6 literal days to create everything.
8/13/2019 Creation - The Genesis Account - By Dr Richard Kent
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/creation-the-genesis-account-by-dr-richard-kent 16/87
1. The Whole Universe Was Created On Day One Of The Six Days Of Creation
The Bible is perfectly clear that the Universe was created on the First Day of Creation:
Genesis 1:1-5: "In the beginning God created the Heavens and the Earth. The Earth was without
form, and void; and darkness was on the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God was hovering over
the face of the waters. Then God said, "Let there be light"; and there was light. And God saw the
light, that it was good; and God divided the light from the darkness. God called the light Day, and the
darkness He called Night. So the evening and the morning were the first day".
2. The Hebrew Words For "dusk" And "dawn" Used In Genesis 1 Are Clearly Referring To
24 Hour Periods Of Time, Not Millions Of Years
In Genesis 1:5, we read that "the evening and the morning were the first day" . Similarly, each Day of
Creation had an evening and a morning. Note that each day began with the evening, as is still
practiced amongst Jewish people today.
- The Bible refers to 24 hour periods of time in each day
- The Bible refers to 24 hour periods of time in each of the Six Days of Creation.
- After each day, the Bible says "and the evening and the morning were the (first) day."
- Millions of years do not have evenings and mornings!
Many Christians insist that the six days of Genesis Chapter 1 are long periods of time.
- This makes them feel more comfortable, in light of supposed scientific "proof" of an "old" Universe.
The teaching that "Each day of Creation represents millions of years" a violation of
Scripture
- The English word "evening" is the English translation of the Hebrew word "ereb" (Strong's reference
6153). The word "ereb" is used throughout the Old Testament, and always means: "evening" or
"dusk."
- Similarly the English word "morning" is the translation of the Hebrew word "boqer" (Strong's
reference 1242). The word "boqer" is used throughout the Old Testament and always means: "dawn"
or "morning."
8/13/2019 Creation - The Genesis Account - By Dr Richard Kent
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/creation-the-genesis-account-by-dr-richard-kent 17/87
- It is simply not possible for the Hebrew words "ereb" and "boger" to mean millions of years.
The Fourth Commandment, and the reference to a 24 hour period of time
The Bible states that on the Seventh Day God rested. He said we should do the same! The Bible
states in Exodus 20:8-11: "Remember the Sabbath day, to keep it holy. Six days you shall labour and
do all your work, but the seventh day is the Sabbath of the LORD your God. In it you shall do no
work. For in six days the LORD made the Heavens and the Earth, the sea, and all that is in them, and
rested the seventh day. Therefore the LORD blessed the Sabbath day and hallowed it."
- God is not talking about millions of years!
- God is talking about literal 24-hour days!
- God created the Heavens and the Earth in 6 literal 24-hour periods.
- During each 24 hour period, the sun descended below the horizon, known as "dusk".
- During each 24 hour period, the sun ascended above the horizon, known as "dawn".
- Only one dusk and dawn is mentioned for each 24 hour period of time.
- Millions of years would have millions of dusks and dawns, but this is not what the Bible teaches.
- On the 7th day, God rested, and this 24-hour period was called the Sabbath.
- The Sabbath has always been a 24-hour period.
- The Sabbath today still starts at 6 pm amongst Jewish people.
- The remaining Six Days of Creation are also 24-hour periods, since God is not seeking to confuse us
all!
- God chose to create everything in six literal 24-hour periods, and rested on the seventh-24 hour
period, in order to create a seven-day pattern, which is explained in The Bible Is Supernatural on
this web site.
- Children are not confused by the Creation account!
8/13/2019 Creation - The Genesis Account - By Dr Richard Kent
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/creation-the-genesis-account-by-dr-richard-kent 18/87
- Only sceptical adults are confused, because of their pre-conceptions!
The Pattern of Sevens in the Created world
The Pattern of Sevens is seen throughout the natural world which God created. In the natural world,
we see:
- 7 days of the week
- 7 colours of the rainbow
- 7 notes in music
- There were also originally 7 layers in the atmosphere.
Now, since the Flood of Noah, 4,400 years ago, there are only 6 layers in the atmosphere, since one
of the levels came down as flood water, according to Genesis, which we discuss later.
3. Adam Was Created On Day Six Of The Six Days Of Creation
Genesis 1:27,31, "So God created man in His own image; in the image of God He created him; male
and female He created them…. Then God saw everything that He had made, and indeed it was very
good. So the evening and the morning were the sixth day."
According to the above Scripture, Adam was created on the Sixth Day of Creation.
4. Adam Was "the Son Of God," (not The Son Of A Monkey)
The Genealogy of Jesus Christ
- Dr Luke was a medical doctor, and the Gospel of Luke is named after him.
- He records, in Luke Chapter 3, the family tree of Jesus Christ.
- According to Luke Chapter 3, there were 77 generations from God to Jesus Christ.
- Here are some names you might recognise in the following list: Jesus, Joseph, Isaac, Abraham,
Noah, Methuselah, Seth, and Adam.
8/13/2019 Creation - The Genesis Account - By Dr Richard Kent
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/creation-the-genesis-account-by-dr-richard-kent 19/87
The Bible states in Luke 3:23-38: "Now Jesus Himself began His ministry at about thirty years of age,
being (as was supposed) the son of Joseph, the son of Heli, the son of Matthat, the son of Levi, the
son of Melchi, the son of Janna, the son of Joseph, the son of Mattathiah, the son of Amos, the son
of Nahum, the son of Esli, the son of Naggai, the son of Maath, the son of Mattathiah, the son of
Semei, the son of Joseph, the son of Judah, the son of Joannas, the son of Rhesa, the son of
Zerubbabel, the son of Shealtiel, the son of Neri, the son of Melchi, the son of Addi, the son of
Cosam, the son of Elmodam, the son of Er, the son of Jose, the son of Eliezer, the son of Jorim, the
son of Matthat, the son of Levi, the son of Simeon, the son of Judah, the son of Joseph, the son of
Jonan, the son of Eliakim, the son of Melea, the son of Menan, the son of Mattathah, the son of
Nathan, the son of David, the son of Jesse, the son of Obed, the son of Boaz, the son of Salmon, the
son of Nahshon, the son of Amminadab, the son of Ram, the son of Hezron, the son of Perez, the son
of Judah, the son of Jacob, the son of Isaac, the son of Abraham, the son of Terah, the son of Nahor,
the son of Serug, the son of Reu, the son of Peleg, the son of Eber, the son of Shelah, the son of
Cainan, the son of Arphaxad, the son of Shem, the son of Noah, the son of Lamech, the son of
Methuselah, the son of Enoch, the son of Jared, the son of Mahalalel, the son of Cainan, the son of
Enos, the son of Seth, the son of Adam, the son of God".
Important conclusion
The Bible states in Luke 3:38 that Adam was the son of God, not the son of a monkey!
5. Jesus Christ Was Born 77 Generations After Adam, Which Is A Period Of Approximately
4,000 Years
According to Luke 3; 23-38 there are 77 generations from God, through, Adam, Seth, Noah,
Abraham, Isaac and Joseph to Jesus Christ.
The Number of Generations is 77, the numbers of Spiritual Perfection
The number Seven in the Bible is the number of Spiritual Perfection. 77 is obviously a very specific
number of generations, directly under the control of the Holy Spirit.
The time interval between the Creation of Adam and the birth of Jesus Christ
- To obtain a rough figure for the time interval between the Creation of Adam and the Birth of Jesus
Christ, let us make an estimate that each generation is approximately 50 years, allowing for the
longer life-span of the patriarchs before Noah's Flood.
8/13/2019 Creation - The Genesis Account - By Dr Richard Kent
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/creation-the-genesis-account-by-dr-richard-kent 20/87
- It does not matter greatly how many years we chose for a generation, because we will still arrive at
approximately the same conclusion!
- Please note that these dates are approximate!
- We need to multiply 77 generation by 50 years per generation:
77 GENERATIONS X 50 YEARS = 3,850 YEARS
Conclusion
There are approximately 4,000 years between the Creation of Adam and the Birth of
Jesus Christ.
6. Jesus Christ Was Born Approximately 2,000 Years Ago.
There are approximately 2,000 years between the Birth of Jesus Christ and our present time.
- This article was written in A.D. 2006.
- The prefix A.D. stands for Anno Domini, which is Latin for "the Year of Our Lord".
- According to our dating system, there are approximately 2,000 years between the Birth of Jesus
Christ and the present time.
7. Therefore Adam Was Born Approximately 6,000 Years Ago.
- Adam was created approximately 4,000 years before Jesus Christ, or 4,000 B.C.
- Jesus Christ was born approximately 2,000 years ago.
- Therefore, by simple addition, the time from Adam to now is:
4,000 YEARS + 2,000 YEARS = 6,000 YEARS
Conclusion
Adam was created approximately 6,000 years ago
8/13/2019 Creation - The Genesis Account - By Dr Richard Kent
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/creation-the-genesis-account-by-dr-richard-kent 21/87
8. Adam Was Born At The Beginning Of The Creation, According To Jesus Christ
- Jesus Christ clearly stated that the Universe, Life, and Man were all created at the Beginning of
Creation, in Mark 10:6 and Matthew 19:4.
- Jesus said in Mark 10:6, "From the beginning of the Creation, God made them male and female."
- Jesus said in Matthew 19:4, "Have you not read that He who made them at the Beginning made
them male and female?"
9. The Whole Universe Was Therefore Also Created Approximately 6,000 Years Ago.
- Adam and Eve were created at the beginning of the Creation.
- Adam and Eve were created 6,000 years ago, approximately.
- Therefore the whole Universe was created 6,000 years ago, at the same time as Adam and Eve.
- In fact Adam and Eve were created on Day Six, and the Universe was created on Day One.
- These days were both at the beginning of the Creation.
Conclusion
The whole Universe was created approximately 6,000 years ago
This Universe simply has to be young, unless Jesus Christ and Dr Luke were both liars.
Implications Of The 6,000 Year Old Planet Earth
- The Bible clearly states says that the Universe, Life, and Man were all created about 6,000 years
ago.
- This is the clear teaching of the Bible.
- This brings the time scale of Creation into direct conflict with Evolution, and many compromising
Christians too!
- The purpose of these two teachings on Creation and Evolution is to expose which one is incorrect!
8/13/2019 Creation - The Genesis Account - By Dr Richard Kent
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/creation-the-genesis-account-by-dr-richard-kent 22/87
The Bible Is In Direct Conflict With Evolution
The Gospel of Luke records the genealogy
of Jesus Christ. There are 77 generations
from God to Jesus Christ.
- The first three generations reads as
follows, according to Luke 3:38: "the son
of Enos, the son of Seth, the son of
Adam, the son of God."
- The New Testament clearly states that
Adam was the son of God, not the son of
a monkey!
- Evolution is therefore in direct conflict with Christianity!
- Either Adam evolved from an ape, or Adam was the son of God!
- There is absolutely no middle ground!
- Either the Bible is rubbish, or Evolution is rubbish!
- We should throw away either the Bible, or Evolution.
- They are totally incompatible.
Theistic Evolution
- Some people believe in and teach Theistic
Evolution.
- According to this theory, God chose
Evolution to "evolve mankind".
- If Theistic Evolutionists want to ignore Luke
3:38, amongst many other scriptures, then
8/13/2019 Creation - The Genesis Account - By Dr Richard Kent
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/creation-the-genesis-account-by-dr-richard-kent 23/87
their theory is fine.
- If they chose to accept Luke 3:38, their theory is in direct contradiction to the Bible.
- There is no middle ground at all.
- We suggest that Theistic Evolution is in direct violation of Luke 3:38, and should be treated with
contempt.
- Either Adam was the son of God, or the son of a monkey!
- If Luke 3:38 is correct, Theistic Evolution is incorrect.
The 'Gap Theory'
- Some serious Bible teachers have taught
that there is a "gap" of billions of years
between the first and the second days of
Creation.
- This is clearly incorrect.
- If there was a "gap" of "billions of
years" between the First and the Second
days of Creation, then Adam and Eve
would have been created at the end of
the Creation, not at the beginning, since
only 6,000 years have elapsed since the Creation of Adam and Eve.
- Jesus Christ clearly stated that Adam and Eve were created at the beginning of Creation, in Mark
10:6, "From the Beginning of the Creation, God made them male and female".
- Jesus also said in Matthew 19:4, "Have you not read that He who made them at the Beginning
made them male and female".
8/13/2019 Creation - The Genesis Account - By Dr Richard Kent
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/creation-the-genesis-account-by-dr-richard-kent 24/87
The 'One Day Is Billions Of Years' Theory
- Some Bible teachers believe that each of
the days of Creation was billions of years,
presumably to fit in with the modern
Theory of Evolution.
- If each of the days of Creation in
Genesis 1 were "billions of years" then
Adam and Eve would have been created
at the end of the Creation, not at the
beginning, as clearly stated by Jesus
Christ.
The 'One Day Is As A Thousand
Years' Theory
Some Bible teachers believe that each of
the days of Creation was 1,000 years
long, presumably to fit in with the modern
theory of Evolution.
They use the following text as justification
for their theory: "But, beloved, do not
forget this one thing, that with the Lord
one day is as a thousand years, and a
thousand years as one day," 2 Peter 3:8
This theory still has several problems:
- According to this theory, the Universe is thus 6,000 years from day 1 to day 6 (the Creation of
Adam), and 6,000 years from day 6 to the present (using the above calculations).
- Adam and Eve were therefore not created at the beginning of the Creation, as stated by Jesus
Christ. They were created at the middle of the Creation!
- They are still nearly 20 billion miles adrift from most Evolutionists!
Also, God created the vegetation on Day 3, and the Sun on Day 4.
8/13/2019 Creation - The Genesis Account - By Dr Richard Kent
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/creation-the-genesis-account-by-dr-richard-kent 25/87
- How do followers of this theory suppose that the vegetation survived for 1,000 years with no
sunlight?
Other Contortions To Accommodate Genesis Chapter 1 With The Theory OfEvolution
There are innumerable contortions made by sincere Christians to accommodate Genesis 1 with the
theory of Evolution
- None of these contortions work
- Christians should stop trying to marry the Bible up with the Theory of Evolution.
- The two are totally incompatible!
- God purposely made Genesis chapter 1 an easy chapter to understand.
- The majority of children understand it perfectly.
- It is only University Professors who seem to have a problem understanding it!
The Genesis Account Of Creation - The First Day
Genesis 1:1, 2: "In the beginning God
created the Heavens and the Earth. The
Earth was without form, and void; and
darkness was on the face of the deep.
And the Spirit of God was hovering over
the face of the waters".
In the beginning, God created the matter
of the Heavens and the Earth. Nobody
was there, so we do not know exactly
what happened! But we do know that the Holy Spirit moved over the waters.
We should also notice that the Earth was NOT a hot molten mass, as taught by Evolutionists.
8/13/2019 Creation - The Genesis Account - By Dr Richard Kent
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/creation-the-genesis-account-by-dr-richard-kent 26/87
According to the Bible, the Earth was originally formed out of water.
The Creation of Light and Time on the First Day of Creation
Genesis 1:3-5 states: Then God said, "Let there be light"; and there was light. And God saw the light
that it was good; and God divided the light from the darkness. God called the light Day and the
darkness He called Night. So the evening and the morning were the first day".
So God created light, which we now know consists of photons moving in a wave form.
Albert Einstein is famous for his Relativity Equation:
E=mc2
This equation shows a relationship between:
E= Energy
m =Mass
c = Speed of Light (Time)
When God said, "Let there be light", He also created time. Time is the Fourth Dimension.
God created it, and lives outside it.
- That is why Jesus Christ can prophesy the future with 100% accuracy.
- This is also how Jesus Christ, after the Resurrection, appeared in the Upper Room, on
the Road to Emmaus, and by the Sea of Galilee. He was moving outside our Fourth
Dimension, which we know as time.

http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/creation-the-genesis-account-by-dr-richard-kent 27/87
The Genesis Account Of Creation - The Second Day
Genesis 1:6-8, "Then God said, "Let there
be a firmament in the midst of the
waters, and let it divide the waters from
the waters." Thus God made the
firmament, and divided the waters which
were under the firmament from the
waters which were above the firmament;
and it was so. And God called the
firmament Heaven. So the evening and
the morning were the second day."
The Firmament (now known as the
sky)
The "firmament" is not a word which we
now use, so we need to look carefully to
see what God is talking about. Fortunately
in Genesis 1:20 it becomes perfectly
clear: "Let birds fly above the earth
across the face of the firmament of
the heavens."
So the "firmament" is the sky, where the birds fly. In other words, the sky appeared between the
water above the sky, and the water below the sky. After the appearance of the firmament there were
three separate layers:
- Region 1: Water in the stratosphere.
- Region 2: The sky, where the birds fly.
- Region 3: Water below the sky, now known as the sea
- There was therefore, at the original Creation, a water canopy in the stratosphere, above the sky
(the firmament).
After Noah's Flood this water canopy in the stratosphere was removed, and the water became part of
the waters of the Flood of Noah, approximately 4,400 years ago. The water canopy in the
8/13/2019 Creation - The Genesis Account - By Dr Richard Kent
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/creation-the-genesis-account-by-dr-richard-kent 28/87
stratosphere is therefore no longer present. The water canopy originally provided protection against
cosmic radiation from outer space.
The formation of the dry land
Genesis 1:9-10, "Then God said, "Let the waters under the heavens be gathered together
into one place, and let the dry land appear"; and it was so. And God called the dry land
Earth, and the gathering together of the waters He called Seas. And God saw that it was
good."
So then there were four distinct geographical strata:
1. Water in the Stratosphere (not present now)
2. Sky, where the birds still fly
3. Water below the sky, now known as the sea
4. Dry land, which appeared in the sea and it still present
The dry land therefore appeared, initially suspended over water. As a direct consequence of the watercanopy in the stratosphere, and the land suspended over the water, there would have been many
distinct benefits to Planet Earth.
- The whole planet would have been of uniform temperature, with little variation of temperature
between the four seasons.
- The whole planet was shielded from the dangerous X-rays, Gamma rays, and Ultra Violet radiation
from outer space.
- Radiation can cause damage to our DNA, and is one of the causes of cancer.
- Because there was no rain before the Flood, there would have been no clouds.
- There would have been much more sunshine, with crystal clear, bright blue skies every day of the
year.
- In addition, the partial pressure of oxygen and carbon dioxide would have been higher, because of
8/13/2019 Creation - The Genesis Account - By Dr Richard Kent
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/creation-the-genesis-account-by-dr-richard-kent 29/87
the increased atmospheric pressure caused by the water canopy.
- We will discuss this in detail later in this teaching.
Oxygen content of the atmosphere before the Flood was much higher
- According to Time Magazine the oxygen content in Amber is 50% higher than it is now, (see Time
Magazine, Nov 9, 1987, p. 82).
- Amber is a semi-precious stone, commonly used in ladies jewelry.
- Amber is actually fossilized tree sap, and frequently contains either insects, or bubbles of air.
- According to Time Magazine November 9, 1987, p. 82, bubbles of air in amber have an oxygen
content that is 50% higher than we now experience.
- According to this article in Time Magazine, Geochemists Gary Landis of the US Geological Survey
and Robert Berner of Yale analyzed tiny air bubbles trapped in pieces of amber.
- They placed the amber inside a vacuum chamber, and then opened the amber, allowing the ancient
trapped gases to escape.
- They found that the air contained 32% oxygen, which is much higher than out current 21% oxygen
in the atmosphere.
- This is startling news, and explains, perhaps, the large humans, animals and insects found in the
fossil record.
8/13/2019 Creation - The Genesis Account - By Dr Richard Kent
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/creation-the-genesis-account-by-dr-richard-kent 30/87
- To confirm this, according to The New Scientist Magazine published on March 11, 2000 the air
trapped in Amber has 35% oxygen.
The Genesis Account Of Creation - The Third Day
Genesis 1: 11-13, "Then God said, "Let
the earth bring forth grass, the herb that
yields seed, and the fruit tree that yields
fruit according to its kind, whose seed is
in itself, on the earth"; and it was so. And
the earth brought forth grass, the herbthat yields seed according to its kind, and
the tree that yields fruit, whose seed is in
itself, according to its kind. And God saw
that it was good. So the evening and the
morning were the third day."
On the Third Day, God made all the vegetation, with all the trees, plants, grasses, flowers, pollen and
seeds. And it was all very good!
- Note that seeds cause specific plants to grow.
- There are kinds of plants, in the same way there are kinds of animals.
- Poppies can certainly cross pollinate other poppies, but they cannot cross pollinate an oak tree.
- If you plant a poppy seed, you expect to see poppies growing, not cucumbers.
The Genesis Account Of Creation- The Fourth Day
Genesis 1:14-19, "Then God said, "Let there
be lights in the firmament of the heavens to
divide the day from the night; and let them
be for signs and seasons, and for days and
8/13/2019 Creation - The Genesis Account - By Dr Richard Kent
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/creation-the-genesis-account-by-dr-richard-kent 31/87
years; and let them be for lights in the firmament of the heavens to give light on the earth"; and it
was so. Then God made two great lights: the greater light to rule the day, and the lesser light to rule
the night. He made the stars also. God set them in the firmament of the heavens to give light on the
earth, and to rule over the day and over the night, and to divide the light from the darkness. And God
saw that it was good. So the evening and the morning were the fourth day."
- On the Fourth Day, God made the Sun, the Moon, and the stars.
- We should just stop and pause for a moment to reflect.
- It has been estimated that there are enough stars for every person on Earth to own 2 trillion of
them each! (Astronomy and the Bible, Donald DeYoung p. 57)
- It would perhaps be a good idea for everyone to go out of doors at night and look at the stars!
- This would perhaps give each one of us a glimpse of understanding of the greatness of God.
The Genesis Account Of Creation - The Fifth Day
Genesis 1:20-23, "Then God said, "Let the
waters abound with an abundance of
living creatures, and let birds fly above
the earth across the face of the
firmament of the heavens. So God
created great sea creatures and every
living thing that moves, with which the
waters abounded, according to their kind,
and every winged bird according to its
kind. And God saw that it was good. And
God blessed them, saying, "Be fruitful and
multiply, and fill the waters in the seas, and let birds multiply on the earth." So the evening and the
morning were the fifth day. "
8/13/2019 Creation - The Genesis Account - By Dr Richard Kent
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/creation-the-genesis-account-by-dr-richard-kent 32/87
- On the Fifth Day, God made all the fish and all the birds.
- He made the fish and the birds at the same time!
- Birds did not evolve from fish or mammals, as claimed by Evolutionists.
- This has never been observed, and never will be!
- Birds are designed quite differently from fish and mammals.
- We have never seen a fish or a mammal growing wings!
The Genesis Account Of Creation - The Sixth Day Part 1
PART 1: The Creation Of The Animals
Genesis 1:24-25, "Then God said, "Let the
earth bring forth the living creature
according to its kind: cattle and creeping
thing and beast of the earth, each
according to its kind"; and it was so. And
God made the beast of the earth
according to its kind, cattle according to
its kind, and everything that creeps on
the earth according to its kind. And God
saw that it was good".
- Each animal was created "according to its kind".
8/13/2019 Creation - The Genesis Account - By Dr Richard Kent
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/creation-the-genesis-account-by-dr-richard-kent 33/87
- Science is the study of observable fact, not theory.
- We see different kinds of birds, animals and fish.
- We do not see animals changing into birds.
- Evolution is not a science, it is a belief system.
- For those who sincerely believe they can prove that Evolution is a fact, then feel free to collect
$250,000 from Dr Kent Hovind. For details CLICK HERE
Charles Darwin and his book, "The Origin of the Species"
Charles Darwin wrote "The Origin of the Species" in 1859. What he observed was very small variation
in the length and breadth of the beaks of finches, small birds found in the Galapagos Islands, off the
Western cost of South America.
Darwin actually noted variation within a species, or variation of a kind! These variations were so
minor that later visitors had trouble identifying them! This is Micro-Evolution, or variation within one
species of bird, namely finches, which we all see all the time! Darwin need not have bothered to
travel to the Galapagos Islands to observe Micro-Evolution, or variation within species! Everyone sees
evidence of variation within a species all the time.
Darwin did not observe Macro -Evolution, the changing of one species into another. Macro-Evolution
has never been observed by anybody. Darwin observed variation of a species within a kind, namely
Micro-Evolution, which is commonly observed in every country in the world.
8/13/2019 Creation - The Genesis Account - By Dr Richard Kent
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/creation-the-genesis-account-by-dr-richard-kent 34/87
Examples of variation within a species or kind
There are large numbers of dogs found all over the
world. Dog DNA has a gene pool for long legs, short
legs, long hair, short hair, large bodies and small bodies
etc. Because dogs share the same common gene pool,
dogs may be interbred with other species of dogs, and
the resultant dog is called a mongrel dog, with features
common to both parents.
The same variations within a kind, or Micro-Evolution,
may be found with cats, horses, rabbits, guinea pigs,
and many other animals commonly seen.
However, it is not possible to interbreed a dog with a rabbit. These different species do not share the
same gene pool. In rare cases distantly related species may be interbred, such as a horse with a
donkey. However, the resultant offspring is invariably sterile, and unable to continue this new
"species".
Melanic and Typica Pepper Moths
- Another so called "proof" of Evolution, often quoted, is the natural selection of moths in England,
according to the colour of their wings.
- In the last century there was a lot of industrial pollution near large cities, and the resultant black
coal dust was deposited on the barks of trees, making the trees darker.
- It was noticed that the moths with dark coloured wings, the Melanic moths, were better adapted to
their environment, and were better camouflaged.
8/13/2019 Creation - The Genesis Account - By Dr Richard Kent
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/creation-the-genesis-account-by-dr-richard-kent 35/87
- The natural predators of moths are birds.
- The birds could not see the dark coloured moths as well as the moths with light coloured wings (the
Typica pepper moths) against the dark background.
- This discovery was hardly surprising, but was hailed as a great breakthrough in proving Natural
Selection as the mechanism for Evolution!
- We believe it proves nothing of the sort!
- We believe it simply proves that camouflage works very well for moths, and has been used by
countless other species of insects, birds, animals and fish.
Evolution is discussed in detail in our free teaching and PowerPoint presentation Evolution is
Impossible on this web site.
The Genesis Account Of Creation - The Sixth Day Part 2
PART 2: The Creation of Man
Adam and Eve were originally created as
spirits, created in the likeness of God.
Very soon after that the Lord God created
bodies for them, "and man became a
living being."
We start in Genesis 1:26-27: "Then God
said, "Let us (Hebrew =Elohim) make
man in our image, according to our
likeness. So God created man in His own
image; in the image of God He created
him; male and female He created them."
We are told that God is a Spirit in John
8/13/2019 Creation - The Genesis Account - By Dr Richard Kent
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/creation-the-genesis-account-by-dr-richard-kent 36/87
4:25, "God is Spirit, and those who worship Him must worship in spirit and truth," NKJV.
Therefore, when they (Father, Son and Holy Spirit) created something in their exact likeness, they
must have created:
1. The Spirit of Adam
2. The Spirit of Eve
The spirits of Adam and Eve were created in Their exact likeness. Remember, God is not a human
being, but a Spirit. In Genesis1:26 and 1:27 God the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit were all Spirits.
Approximately 2,000 years ago Jesus Christ became a Human Being. But before that Jesus Christ was
a Spirit. Therefore they must have made Adam and Eve as spirits in Genesis 1:27.
Later the LORD God (Jesus Christ) formed the first living being, called Man, as recorded in Genesis
2:7: "And the LORD God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the
breath of life; and man became a living being."
Adam and Eve were originally spirits, created in the likeness of God. Very soon after that God created
bodies for them, "and man became a living being."
The Creation of Adam
- Jesus Christ took the dust of the ground and made the dust into the form of a Man, using DNA as a
computer template.
- When we die, our bodies revert to dust, made of the 17 elements of which we are composed.
- Jesus then breathed the spirit of Adam, created in Genesis 1, into the nostrils of the body He had
created.
- As the spirit entered the human form, this human form, made of clay or earth, became the first
human being.
- The Bible states, "In Him (Jesus Christ) was life, and the life was the light of men" John 1:4. This
means that Jesus Christ is the literal Giver of Life.
- We are told in the New Testament that human life in the body cannot exist without the indwelling
spirit. James 2:26 states: "The body without the spirit is dead".
8/13/2019 Creation - The Genesis Account - By Dr Richard Kent
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/creation-the-genesis-account-by-dr-richard-kent 37/87
- "When Jesus Christ created the first human body in Genesis 2:7, that body was dead until Jesus
Christ breathed into that dead body the "breath of life".
- This would by definition have been the spirit of Adam created in Genesis 1:27.
The Creation of Eve
- Jesus Christ then performed the very first tissue transplant from Adam to create Eve!
- Genesis 2:21-22 states, "And the LORD God caused a deep sleep to fall on Adam, and he slept; and
He took one of his ribs, and closed up the flesh in its place. Then the rib which the LORD God had
taken from man He made into a woman, and He brought her to the man."
What exactly happened when God created Eve?
- We believe that Jesus Christ took a specimen of Adam's living tissue, and created Eve, probably
using Adam's flesh with Adam's DNA as a template.
- We are not clear exactly how this happened, but we are equally not clear about how God created
8/13/2019 Creation - The Genesis Account - By Dr Richard Kent
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/creation-the-genesis-account-by-dr-richard-kent 38/87
anything!
- All we know is that He did!
- The translation "rib" is probably incorrect.
- All men and women have 12 ribs each!
- The word used here is the Hebrew word "Tsela".
- It can mean a rib, but by far the commonest meaning is a "side".
- For example, the word "Tsela" is used to mean the "side" of the Ark of the Covenant in Exodus
25:14.
Adam & Eve probably both glowed with light before the Fall
- We are told that God is "clothed in light, as with a garment", Psalm 104:2.
- Before the fall, Adam & Eve probably both glowed with light, just like God.
- Adam and Eve were created in the image of God, and Adam & Eve were almost certainly clothed inlight too.
- After the fall, the light surrounding their physical bodies went out. That is how they knew they were
naked!
God instructed Adam and Eve to multiply, fill the earth, and subdue it
Genesis 1:28-31: "Then God blessed them, and God said to them, "Be fruitful and multiply; fill the
earth and subdue it; have dominion over the fish of the sea, over the birds of the air, and over every
living thing that moves on the earth." And God said, "See, I have given you every herb that yields
seed which is on the face of all the earth, and every tree whose fruit yields seed; to you it shall be for
food. Also, to every beast of the earth, to every bird of the air, and to everything that creeps on the
earth, in which there is life, I have given every green herb for food"; and it was so. Then God saw
everything that He had made, and indeed it was very good. So the evening and the morning were the
sixth day."
- God created Adam and Eve on Day Six, and everything was just perfect.

http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/creation-the-genesis-account-by-dr-richard-kent 39/87
- This was a Garden Paradise, known as the Garden of Eden.
- As stated in Genesis, Adam and Eve, and all living animals and birds, were originally vegetarian.
The Genesis Account Of Creation - TheSeventh Day,
Genesis 2:1-3, "Thus the Heavens and the Earth, and all
the host of them, were finished. And on the seventh day
God ended His work which He had done, and He rested
on the seventh day from all His work which He had
done. Then God blessed the seventh day and sanctified
it, because in it He rested from all His work which God
had created and made".
- God rested on the Seventh Day.
- God could perfectly easily have created the whole Universe instantaneously, but He chose not to.
- He wanted to initiate a cycle of six days work, and one day of rest, as a cycle of spiritual perfection,
to be followed by man for ever.
The Sabbath Day of Rest
The Bible states in Exodus 20:8-11: "Remember the Sabbath day, to keep it holy. Six days you shall
labour and do all your work, but the seventh day is the Sabbath of the LORD your God. In it you shall
do no work. For in six days the LORD made the Heavens and the Earth, the sea, and all that is in
them, and rested the seventh day. Therefore the LORD blessed the Sabbath day and hallowed it."
- The Seventh Day was called the Sabbath.
- Jewish people celebrate Sabbath, known as the "Shabbat" from 6 pm on Friday until 6 pm on
Saturday, and this is probably the correct timing.
- It is known by Christians as The Lord's Day, and is celebrated on Sunday.
- It was to be a day set apart from the other Six Days.
8/13/2019 Creation - The Genesis Account - By Dr Richard Kent
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/creation-the-genesis-account-by-dr-richard-kent 40/87
- The Sabbath Day was to be consecrated to the Lord, and this is the Fourth Commandment.
Fossils Did Not Form Over Millions Of Years
Fossils are found all over the planet, and are
widely taught to have been formed, during
the Evolutionary process, over millions of
years! However, this simply does not make
sense! There were nearly 12 millions
soldiers killed on the battlefields of Franceand Belgium during the First World War.
Farmers are continually discovering
unexploded bombs, weapons, crockery,
helmets, and other war materiel, but not
one single fossilized soldier has ever been
discovered!
If you place a dead cow or dinosaur on the cricket pitch you do not get a fossil, however long you
wait! After a week there is a bad smell. After a month or two the soft body parts will have
decomposed. After six months only bones would be left. After a year or two, there would simply be
dust, and small remnants of bones.
Fossil formation at Noah's Flood
The Bible informs us in Genesis 7:11-12, "In the six hundredth year of Noah's life, in the second
month, the seventeenth day of the month, on that day all the fountains of the great deep were
broken up, and the windows of Heaven were opened. And the rain was on the earth forty days and
forty nights."
- How could a dinosaur, mammoth, or anything else be preserved in rock, with their stomach
contents preserved intact?
- The only way to make a fossil is to preserve it instantly in hundreds of tons of rock.
- For a whole dinosaur or mammoth to be preserved with stomach contents intact, it must have been
preserved instantly, or the carcass would putrefy.
8/13/2019 Creation - The Genesis Account - By Dr Richard Kent
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/creation-the-genesis-account-by-dr-richard-kent 41/87
- We believe that this happened at Noah's flood.
- We believe that the only known event in the history of Planet Earth that could have caused fossils
on such a grand scale was Noah's Flood.
- We believe that, at the time of Noah's flood 4,400 years ago, as the crust of the earth was broken
up humans, fish and animals were instantly buried under tons of rock and debris.
Fossilization is not a slow process!
As the photographs below clearly show, fossilization is NOT a slow process over hundreds of years, as
many teach. The two examples below show INSTANT fossilization, as happened at the time of Noah's
flood.
1. A mother Ichthyosaur giving birth to a baby Ichthyosaur, from Creation Magazine 12-99,
2. A fossilised fish swallowing another fish!

Polonium Halos in Granite prove Creation, and disprove the Big BangTheory
Most text books teach that, in its early
life, the Earth was a hot molten massformed as a result of the Big Bang billions
of years ago.
According to this theory, the Earth slowly
cooled down over millions of years,
leaving a hot molten central core, with
the cooled Earth's crust.
Holt Earth Science 1994, p. 280
According to Holt Earth Science, "As Earth formed, its surface was similar to the surface of the moon
today. Craters, like those in the picture, and large plains of volcanicbasalt may have marked its surface. But unlike its moon, Earth's
surface was hot, and there were large pools of bubbling lava".
The Bible and the Creation of the Earth
The Bible does not describe the Earth as ever being a hot molten
mass!
To the contrary, the Bible states in Genesis1:1, 2, "In the beginning
8/13/2019 Creation - The Genesis Account - By Dr Richard Kent
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/creation-the-genesis-account-by-dr-richard-kent 43/87
God created the Heavens and the Earth. The Earth was without form, and void; and darkness was on
the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God was hovering over the face of the waters". According to
the Bible, the Earth was formed under water, by God, and not as a result of the Big Bang Theory.
We therefore have two completely different accounts of the formation of Planet Earth. We suspect
that the Bible is the correct version of events. This has in fact been proved by the existence of
Polonium Halos found in granite all over the world.
POLONIUM HALOS
Robert Gentry, whose excellent research may be read at
www.halos.com has written a remarkable book, "Creation's Tiny
Mystery". In the book Robert Gentry describes the results of his
studies of samples of granite from all over the world.
He discovered that granite contains Polonium Halos. Polonium is
one of the many elements that make up the Periodic Table, and the
Halos are the result of radioactive decay of this element over a very
short period of time.
Polonium has a very short half life
Polonium is a radioactive isotope that decays very rapidly. This is described technically as having a
very short half life.
- The isotope Po-218 has a half life of 3 minutes.
- The isotope Po-214 has a half life of only 0.164 seconds.
Polonium Halos
As Polonium atoms emit radioactive particles, the atoms are
surrounded by Halos of radioactive particles.

http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/creation-the-genesis-account-by-dr-richard-kent 45/87
may be viewed using a microscope.
The occurrence of these Polonium Halos in granite samples from all over the world indicates that the
Earth was formed in an extremely short time, in complete harmony with the Biblical record of
Creation in Genesis Chapter 1.
Polonium Halos found in samples of granite - caption
THE BIG BANG THEORY REFUTED
If the Earth was originally a hot molten mass which took millions of
years to cool down, the radioactive particles emitted by the rapidly
decaying Polonium, and accompanying Polonium Halos, would
disappear in the molten lava, in the same way as an effervescent
tablet in a glass of water.
The existence of Polonium Halos in granite samples from all over
the world therefore completely disproves the Big Bang Theory.
Life on Planet Earth before Noahs's Flood
WHAT WAS IT LIKE IN THE PRE-FLOOD EARTH?
A key to understanding the Pre-Flood Earth is the
existence of a canopy of water in the stratosphere
In the Genesis Account of Creation, we read:
Genesis 1:6-8, 'Then God said, "Let there be a firmament in the midst of the waters, and let it divide
the waters from the waters." Thus God made the firmament, and divided the waters which were
under the firmament from the waters which were above the firmament; and it was so. And God called
the firmament Heaven. So the evening and the morning were the second day.'
The Firmament (now known as the sky)
The "firmament" is not a word which we now use, so we need to look carefully to see what God is
talking about. Fortunately in Genesis 1:20 it becomes perfectly clear: "Let birds fly above the earth
across the face of the firmament of the heavens."
So the "firmament" is the sky, where the birds fly. In other words, the sky appeared between the
8/13/2019 Creation - The Genesis Account - By Dr Richard Kent
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/creation-the-genesis-account-by-dr-richard-kent 46/87
water above the sky, and the water below the sky. After the appearance of the firmament there were
three separate layers:
- Region 1: Water in the stratosphere.
- Region 2: The sky, where the birds fly.
- Region 3: Water below the sky, now known as the sea
There was therefore, at the original Creation, a water canopy in the stratosphere, above the sky (the
firmament).
After Noah's Flood this water canopy in the stratosphere was removed, and the water became part of
the waters of the Flood of Noah, approximately 4,400 years ago. The water canopy in the
stratosphere is therefore no longer present.
The water canopy originally provided protection against cosmic radiation from outer space.
THE WATER LAYER IN THE STRATOSPHERE HAD SEVERAL VERY IMPORTANT FUNCTIONS
Warm temperature and greenhouse effect
The temperature was probably much warmer, with no variation of temperature over the entire planet
because of the "greenhouse effect" of the vapour canopy in the stratosphere.
This perhaps explains why Mammoths preserved in the permafrost in Siberia have tropical vegetation
in their stomachs.
8/13/2019 Creation - The Genesis Account - By Dr Richard Kent
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/creation-the-genesis-account-by-dr-richard-kent 47/87
Blocking of dangerous X-rays and ultraviolet radiation
One of the very important functions of the upper atmosphere today is that much of the dangerous
radiation from the sun is filtered out.
However, some dangerous radiation still gets through to the surface of the Earth. This is why, for
example, overexposure to sunlight can cause skin cancer.
The blocking of dangerous X-rays and gamma rays would probably have been much greater before
the Flood. This may account for the much longer life spans of the patriarchs recorded in the Bible.
Richer oxygen and carbon dioxide in the atmosphere
The water canopy in the stratosphere would have dramatically increased the partial pressure of gases
on Planet Earth, causing 50% higher concentrations of Oxygen and Carbon Dioxide. This is proved in
experiments on Pre-Flood air trapped in fossilised tree sap, now known as the semi- precious stone,
Amber.
According to experiments recorded in Time magazine the partial pressure of Oxygen in
the atmosphere was at one time 50% higher
8/13/2019 Creation - The Genesis Account - By Dr Richard Kent
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/creation-the-genesis-account-by-dr-richard-kent 48/87
According to Time Magazine the oxygen content in Amber is 50% higher than it is now, (see Time
Magazine, Nov 9, 1987, p. 82).
- Amber is a semi-precious stone, commonly used in ladies' jewellery.
- Amber is actually fossilized tree sap, and frequently contains either insects, or bubbles of air.
- According to Time Magazine November 9, 1987, p. 82, bubbles of air in Amber have an oxygen
content that is 50% higher than the present atmospheric air.
- According to this article in Time Magazine, Geochemists Gary Landis of the US Geological Survey
and Robert Berner of Yale analyzed tiny air bubbles trapped in specimens of Amber.
- They placed the Amber specimens inside a vacuum chamber, and then opened the Amber, allowing
the ancient trapped gases to escape.
- They found that the air contained 32% oxygen, which is much higher than our current 21% oxygen
content in the atmosphere.
- This finding is confirmed in The New Scientist Magazine published on March 11, 2000. According to
this article the air trapped in Amber has 35% oxygen.
These findings confirm that Planet Earth had much higher Oxygen and Carbon Dioxide levels at an
earlier date, and would seem to confirm the theory about higher Oxygen and Carbon Dioxide levels in
the atmosphere, caused by the water canopy before Noah's Flood.
8/13/2019 Creation - The Genesis Account - By Dr Richard Kent
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/creation-the-genesis-account-by-dr-richard-kent 49/87
BENEFITS OF THE WARM TEMPERATURE, HIGH OXYGEN CONTENT, AND LACK OF
DANGEROUS RADIATION IN THE PRE-FLOOD EARTH
The Garden of Eden conditions described in the early chapters of Genesis were probably reflected all
over the planet.
There was probably abundant vegetation, animals, birds and fish. Because of the warmer and more
constant ambient temperature, and the high partial pressures of Oxygen and Carbon Dioxide humans,
animals, birds, insects, and fish were much larger, as revealed in the fossil record described below.
There is a general teaching that early man was primitive. This is almost certainly incorrect. Adam and
Eve were created in the image of God, and were probably extremely intelligent and creative, as were
all the patriarchs.
Because of the protective effect of the water canopy, there was protection from damaging ultraviolet
rays and gamma rays, with probably much lower incidence of consequent diseases such as cancer
and foetal malformations.
Because of the higher Oxygen levels, the high blood Oxygen levels would have contributed to
extreme longevity, resistance to bacterial and viral diseases, and greater metabolic efficiency, with
consequent greatly enhanced athletic ability.
The average age of man before Noah's Flood was 912 years. Today it is 70- 80
8/13/2019 Creation - The Genesis Account - By Dr Richard Kent
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/creation-the-genesis-account-by-dr-richard-kent 50/87
The average recorded life span in the Bible of the early patriarchs is 912 years. This is in stark
contrast to today's much shorter life spans, with 70 -80 years being typical. This may be accounted
for by the higher oxygen content, the protective effect of the water canopy, lack of disease, better
diet, and much less hostile weather patterns.
GIANTS IN THE BIBLE
The Bible describes giants, before and after Noah's Flood.
It is recorded in 1 Samuel 17:4 that Goliath was six cubits and a span tall, which is approximately
nine feet tall.
The Bible records, in Deuteronomy chapter 3 v11, that the iron bed of Og, King of Basham, was 9
cubits by 4 cubits or approximately 14 feet long by 6 feet wide.

EVIDENCE OF HUMAN GIANTS
Skeletons of giants discovered in tombs Turkey
In the late 1950s during road construction in South East
Turkey in the Euphrates Valley, many tombs containing
the remains of giants were uncovered.
At two sites the thigh bones (femurs) were measured to
be about 120cm (47.24 inches).
Joe Taylor, Director of the Mount Blanco Fossil Museum
in Crosbyton, Texas, was commissioned to create this
anatomically correct, and to scale, human femur. The
original giant stood 14 -16 feet tall, and had 20-22 inch
long feet. His or her finger tips, with arms to their sides, would be about 6 feet above the ground!
Giant thumb bone discovered by Ron Wyatt near Noah's Ark, Eastern Turkey
Ron Wyatt discovered Noah's Ark in 1982. His site has been officially recognised by the Turkish
Government.
Near this site, Ron Wyatt discovered this thumb bone, which is compared with a normal human
thumb bone. It is approximately twice the normal length, and therefore probably came from a 12 foot
man who formerly lived in Eastern Turkey near Noah's Ark.

FOSSIL EVIDENCE OF HUGE INSECTS
Insects breathe oxygen through spiracles in their skin. Their size is limited only by the amount pf
Oxygen available. In the high Oxygen Pre-Flood atmospheric conditions, insects grew much larger.

A fossil of a giant tarantula spider about 18 inches long has been discovered. We believe that this
Pre-Flood tarantula spider was buried under tons of rock, and instantly fossilised at Noah's Flood,
4,400 years ago.
Giant turtle
This giant turtle skeleton is exhibited at the Yale Museum, New Haven, Connecticut. It is
approximately 10 feet high. This is simply evidence that giant turtles existed.
Fossilised cockroaches
Cockroaches over 18 inches long have been found in the
fossil record. They would have been unpleasant pests in
the kitchen!

Fossilised giant centipede
A fossil of a centipede eight and a half feet long has been discovered by palaeontologist in Germany.
We believe that this Pre-Flood centipede was buried under tons of rock, and instantly fossilised at
Noah's Flood, 4,400 years ago.
FOSSILISED GIANT VEGETATION
Fossilised cattails 60 feet high have been discovered in sedimentary rock.
In the Pre-Flood atmosphere the Carbon Dioxide content was much higher because of the canopy of
water.
This high Carbon Dioxide content caused the cattails, and all vegetation, to grow much larger, and
also more abundantly.
Even today tomato plants grown in artificially created atmospheres in greenhouses with high Carbon
Dioxide content produce very large crops of tomatoes.
We believe that the vegetation before the Flood was superabundant, with extremely large trees, fruit,
and vegetables. It was truly superabundant vegetation, all over the world.
8/13/2019 Creation - The Genesis Account - By Dr Richard Kent
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/creation-the-genesis-account-by-dr-richard-kent 55/87
During the Flood, the huge forests were rapidly compressed under tons of rock, forming our huge
coal seams all over the world. Coal can be artificially created today by compression of vegetable
matter.
We believe that animals and fishes were compressed at the time of the Flood to form the huge oil
reservoirs.
GIANT ANIMALS AND TURTLES
Giant Buffalo
A fossilised buffalo horn with a 12 foot span has been discovered, and is in Dr Baugh's museum in the
USA.
We believe that this Pre-Flood buffalo was buried under tons of rock, and instantly fossilised at
Noah's Flood, 4,400 years ago.
Giant Donkeys
A donkey was excavated in Texas, USA, which is 9 feet high at the shoulder. This proves the
existence of giant donkeys.

Giant Beavers
Fossils of beavers over 8 feet long have been found.
We believe that these Pre-Flood beavers were buried
under tons of rock, and instantly fossilised at Noah's
Flood, 4,400 years ago.
The jaw of a beaver 8 foot long has also been found
in the USA, proving the existence of giant beavers.

The word "dinosaur"
There are thousands of legends of people
seeing or killing dragons. The word "dinosaur" was invented by Sir Richard Owen in 1841. Before that
time they were known as "dragons".
8/13/2019 Creation - The Genesis Account - By Dr Richard Kent
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/creation-the-genesis-account-by-dr-richard-kent 57/87
Dinosaurs mentioned in the Bible
PLEASE NOTE SMALL TAILS OF ELEPHANT AND HIPPOPOTAMUS!
"Look now at the behemoth, which I made along with you; He eats grass like an ox. See now, his
strength is in his hips, and his power is in his stomach muscles. He moves his tail like a cedar; the
sinews of his thighs are tightly knit. His bones are like beams of bronze, his ribs like bars of iron. He
is the first of the ways of God," Job 40:15-19 NKJV.
Many commentators believe that this text refers to Dinosaurs, which, in the Bible, are referred to as"dragons". Note that neither the elephant nor the hippopotamus have tails like a cedar tree!
Dragons in the Bible
In the Bible Dragons are mentioned 35 times. For example:
- "Their wine is the poison of dragons", Deuteronomy 32:33.
- "Thou breakest the heads of the dragons in the waters" Psalms 74:13.
8/13/2019 Creation - The Genesis Account - By Dr Richard Kent
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/creation-the-genesis-account-by-dr-richard-kent 58/87
The Bible speaks of a beast with fire coming out its
mouth, and smoke from its nostrils
- "Out of his mouth go burning lamps, and sparks of fire
leap out," Job 41:19.
- "Out of his nostrils goeth smoke, as out of a seething pot
or caldron" Job 41:20
The Bible also speaks of fiery flying serpents
"Do not rejoice, all you of Philistia, because the rod that struck you is broken; For out of the serpent's
roots will come forth a viper, and its offspring will be a fiery flying serpent". Isaiah 14:29, NKJ.
The Creation Of The Animals on Day 6
In Genesis 1:24-25 we read, "Then God said, "Let the earth bring forth the living creature according
to its kind: cattle and creeping thing and beast of the earth, each according to its kind"; and it was
so. And God made the beast of the earth according to its kind, cattle according to its kind, and
everything that creeps on the earth according to its kind. And God saw that it was good".
8/13/2019 Creation - The Genesis Account - By Dr Richard Kent
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/creation-the-genesis-account-by-dr-richard-kent 59/87
- According to the Bible, each animal was created "according to its kind", including the Dinosaurs.
- We believe that the dinosaurs entered the Ark with Noah.
- Noah probably chose small ones!
THE DINOSAURS WERE POORLY ADAPTED TO THE WORLD AFTER NOAH'S FLOOD
When the dinosaurs left Noah's Ark they faced a
changed environment with a more hostile climate, to
which they were not well adapted. The partial pressure
of oxygen was very much lower in the atmosphere after
the flood, following the collapse of the water canopy at
the time of Noah's flood.
- According to experiments recorded in Time magazine the partial pressure of Oxygen in the
atmosphere was formerly 50% higher
- According to Time Magazine the oxygen content in Amber is 50% higher than it is now, (see TimeMagazine, Nov 9, 1987, p. 82).
- Amber is a semi-precious stone, commonly used in ladies jewellery.
- Amber is actually fossilized tree sap, and frequently contains either insects, or bubbles of air.
- According to Time Magazine November 9, 1987, p. 82, bubbles of air in Amber have an oxygen
content that is 50% higher than the present atmospheric air.
- According to this article in Time Magazine, Geochemists Gary Landis of the US Geological Survey
and Robert Berner of Yale analyzed tiny air bubbles trapped in specimens of Amber.
- They placed the Amber specimens inside a vacuum chamber, and then opened the Amber, allowing
the ancient trapped gases to escape.
- They found that the air contained 32% oxygen, which is
much higher than out current 21% oxygen content in the
atmosphere.
- This is startling news, and explains, perhaps, the large
humans, animals and insects found in the fossil record.
- This finding is confirmed in The New Scientist Magazine
published on March 11, 2000. According to this article the
air trapped in Amber has 35% oxygen.
8/13/2019 Creation - The Genesis Account - By Dr Richard Kent
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/creation-the-genesis-account-by-dr-richard-kent 60/87
- Since God created dinosaurs before the flood, the dinosaurs were created to be able to breathe
comfortably in an atmosphere that was very much richer in oxygen.
- The dinosaurs may have been poorly adapted to the oxygen content after the Flood.
- If dinosaur skeletons are inspected, it will be noted that they have comparatively small nostrils.
- When the dinosaurs emerged from Noah's Ark, they may have had respiratory problems because of
the lower oxygen content of the air, and their poorly adapted small nostrils.
- In order to ventilate their huge lungs with the air containing less oxygen they would have had to
hyperventilate (breathe faster and deeper).
- This faster breathing would have caused their nostrils to become quite hot due to the rapid passage
of air through their proportionally small nostrils.
- This may explain why dragons are noted to breathe fire and have smoke coming out of their
nostrils.
- We believe that many dinosaurs died from the changes in the oxygen content of the atmosphere
within the first few hundred years of the Flood.
- The poorly adapted dinosaurs would have been slow moving animals, and would have thus been
easy prey for anyone wanting to provide meat for the whole town, and become a hero at the same
time!
DRAGONS ARE REFERRED TO THROUGHOUT HISTORY
1. A CHINESE LEGEND REFERS TO DRAGONS LIVING AFTER THE "GREAT FLOOD"
"One Chinese legend tells of a famous Chinese man named Yu. After the great flood Yu surveyed the
land of China and divided it into sections. He built channels to drain the water off to the sea and
helped make the land liveable again. Many snakes and dragons were driven from the marshlands
when Yu created the new farmlands." Quoted from The
Great Dinosaur Mystery P. 42 Available from

2. DRAWINGS OF DRAGONS
People draw what they see! In order to draw dragons it
must have been the case that people actually saw
dragons, which we now call dinosaurs. Below are some
examples of pictures of dragons actually discovered.

Marco Polo lived in China for 17 years around 1271 A.D. and reported that the Emperor raised
dragons to pull his chariots in his parades. In 1611 the emperor appointed the post of a "Royal
Dragon Feeder." Books even tell of Chinese families raising dragons to use their blood for medicines,
and their highly prized eggs. See The Dragon in China & Japan, by M.W. DeVisser, 1969.
The city of Nerluc, France was renamed in honour of the "dragon" slain there. It was described as
being bigger than an ox and having long, sharp, pointed horns on its head. See The Great DinosaurMystery p. 40
In May 1572 the Italian Scientist Ulysses Aldrovandus obtained the dead body of a "dragon" and had
it mounted for a museum display.
4. SEA MONSTERS
Hans Egede, Missionary to Greenland, drew this sketch of the "sea monster" he saw off
the coast of Greenland in 1734
"As for other Sea Monsters……none of them have been seen by us, or any of our Time, that I ever

http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/creation-the-genesis-account-by-dr-richard-kent 66/87
could hear, save the most dreadful Monster, that showed itself upon the surface of the Water in the
year 1734, off our New Colony in 64 Degrees. This monster was of so huge a size, that coming out of
the Water, its Head reached as high as the Mast Head. Its body was as bulky as the Ship, and three
or four times as long. It had a long pointed Snout, and spouted like a Whale-Fish; great broad Paws,
and the body seemed covered with shell-work, its skin very rugged and uneven. The under Part of its
Body was shaped like an huge Serpent, and it dived under the Water, it plunged backward into the
Sea, and so raised its tail aloft, which seemed a whole Ship's length distant from the bulkiest part of
its body." From Det gamle Gronlands nye Perlustration (1741), image drawn by Missionary Hans
Egede as quoted by William Gibbons in Missionaries and Monsters p. 20.
German U-boat reports gigantic sea animal
On July 30, 1915 a German U-boat Capt. Georg von Forstner's reported that, "The steamer sank
quickly. When it had been gone for about 25 seconds, there was a violent explosion. A little later,
pieces of wreckage and among them a gigantic sea animal was shot out of the water. It was about
60 feet long," from Dinosaurs by Design by Duane Gish page 87.
5. LIVING DINOSAURS
The Likouala swamp in Congo and Zaire is 55,000 square miles of 80% unexplored territory. In the
Bible we read that Leviathan may be found in marshes (Job 40: 21).

Missionary Eugene Thomas had two pygmies in his mission in Congo, Africa that claimed to have
killed a Mokele-Mbembe in 1959.
A well known South African big game hunter, Mr. F. Gobler, returned from a trip to Angola and
announced to the Cape Town newspaper, the Cape Argus, that "There was an animal of large
dimensions, the description of which could only fit a dinosaur, dwelling in the Dilolo Swamps and
known to the natives as the Chipekwe. It has the head and tail of a lizard." Quoted from "There Could
be Dinosaurs" by Ivan T. Sanderson, 1948 page 52.
According to the missionary Chuck Davis the Azande people in Central African Republic call it
"Ngururi".

This is quoted from "A Living Dinosaur?" page 256.
In 1907 Lt-Colonel Percy Fawcett of the British Army was sent to mark the boundaries between Brazil
and Peru. He was an officer in the Royal Engineers and was well known as a meticulous recorder of
facts. In the Beni Swamps of Madre de Dios Colonel P. H. Fawcett saw an animal he believed to be
Diplodocus. The Diplodocus story is confirmed by many of the tribes east of the Ucayali, according to
The Rivers Ran East by Leonard Clark, Funk and Wagnals Co. 1953.
This 32 foot long creature weighing 4000 pounds was hauled up from 900 feet down off the coast ofNew Zealand in 1977. It was dead, rotting and smelled terrible. After examining the creature it was
thrown back. The fishermen and the marine biologist who saw it knew what basking sharks looked
like and did not think it was a basking shark.

This 25 foot creature was washed up on the beach in Querqueville, Normandy, France in March,
1934. Two professors from Paris Natural History Museum analyzed the creature and said, "It was
definitely not a whale or a sea cow. It is possible we are in the presence of an unknown species."
Quoted from Time Magazine March 12, 1934 p. 32.
In 1905 observers on the yacht Valhalla, cruising of the
coast of Brazil spotted a dorsal fin about six feet long
and two feet high. Then a small head on a neck about
seven or eight feet long rose in front of the fin. The
creatures colour was mainly dark brown, turning white
on the underside of the neck, and a "good-sized" body
could be seen under the water. The observers were two
experienced British naturalists, Michael J. Nicoll and
E.G.B. Meade- Waldo, Fellows of the Zoological Society. They published an account in "Proceedings".
Quoted from Rumors of Existence, 1995 Matthew A. Bille p.127.
Carbon Dating Only Works if the Bible is Rubbish
CARBON DATING EXPLAINED
Radio Carbon Dating was discovered by
Willard Libby in Chicago in 1952, and he
also received a Nobel Prize for his work.
Carbon Dating is a method of dating
samples with the element Carbon in
them.
The Theory of Carbon Dating does not
take into account the 6,000 year old
Earth, the Canopy over the Earth, or
Noah's Flood, which are explained in detail on this web site.
- If Carbon Dating is correct, the Bible is rubbish.
- If the Bible is true, Carbon Dating is rubbish.
- There are no other alternatives!

WARNING
The debate over Carbon Dating can become very heated in certain circles, especially on the Internet!
We have tried to present the facts as we see them.
Carbon Dating is probably the one subject where open war is declared between Creationists and
Evolutionists. Judging by comments about Kent Hovind and other Creationists on the Internet, war is
the most suitable word.
The reason is very simple. Either the Bible or Carbon Dating is a fraud. There is no middle ground.

CARBON IS ONE OF THE 109 ELEMENTS ON THIS PLANET
Periodic Table of the Elements
There are 109 known elements on Planet Earth, and all matter on this planet is composed of various
elements. For example the human body is composed of 17 elements, including Carbon.
NORMAL CARBON 12 AND RADIOACTIVE CARBON 14 ISOTOPES
Carbon normally exists as the isotope C-12. The normal
isotope C-12 has 6 neutrons, 6 protons, and 6 electrons.
There are three main varieties of Carbon atoms,
technically called "isotopes". These isotopes are C-12, C-
13 and C-14.
Of the three isotopes of Carbon:
- C-12 makes up 99% of available Carbon.
- C-13 makes up 1% of available Carbon.
- C-14 - makes up 1 part per million of available Carbon.
8/13/2019 Creation - The Genesis Account - By Dr Richard Kent
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/creation-the-genesis-account-by-dr-richard-kent 72/87
So there is not much C-14 about! Every living thing has a tiny amount of C-14 in it, including every
human being.
THE CONTENTS OF THE ATMOSPHERE
The Earth's atmosphere is approximately 100 miles deep.
The Earth's atmosphere contains:
- 78% nitrogen
- 21% oxygen
- .06% Carbon dioxide
- .0000765% radio-active Carbon (C14)
The Radioactive Carbon 14 mixes with the normal CO2 in
the upper atmosphere, and floats down to ground level,
where it is incorporated into plants, animals and
humans.
CARBON 14 FORMATION AND INCORPORATION INTO PLANTS, ANIMALS AND HUMAN.
Radioactive Carbon -14 is formed in the upper
atmosphere by the bombardment of Nitrogen atoms with
cosmic rays from the Sun.
The unstable Radioactive Carbon atom C-14 in the upper atmosphere then combines with Oxygen to
form a Carbon Dioxide molecule containing C-14.
8/13/2019 Creation - The Genesis Account - By Dr Richard Kent
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/creation-the-genesis-account-by-dr-richard-kent 73/87
C-14 INCORPORATION INTO PLANTS AND ANIMALS
The Carbon dioxide molecules, with a tiny amount of Radioactive C-14, become part of the gases in
our atmosphere.
All plants breathe in Carbon Dioxide, and a tiny amount of Radioactive C-14 is incorporated into their
structure, using photosynthesis.
During photosynthesis plants breathe in Carbon Dioxide and make it part of their tissue.
Some of the Carbon is Radioactive C-14.
In the presence of sunlight, plants convert Carbon Dioxide and water into starch and Oxygen.
6CO2+6H2O = C6H12O6+6O2
Animals later eat the plants, and incorporate both Carbon 12 and Radioactive Carbon -14 into their
tissues.
Humans eat both the plants and the animals, and incorporate a tiny amount of Radioactive Carbon-14into their tissues.
8/13/2019 Creation - The Genesis Account - By Dr Richard Kent
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/creation-the-genesis-account-by-dr-richard-kent 74/87
When a plant or animal dies it stops taking in air and food, so it does not assimilate and more C-14.
The C-14 in the plant or animal then begins to decay back to normal Nitrogen.
HOW DOES CARBON DATING WORK?
Radio Carbon Dating is used to determine the age of samples containing Carbon, by means of
measuring the amount of the isotope Carbon-14 (C-14) in any given sample.
The isotope Carbon-14 is Radioactive and the radioactivity may be measured, with a Geiger counter,
or a much more sophisticated Carbon Dating machine.
The theory of Carbon Dating assumes that if an observer knows the amount of Radioactive C-14 that
is present in a sample, then the date of the sample's origin can be calculated.
Radioactive C-14 atoms decay back to Nitrogen at a known rate. This rate of "decay" is known as the
"half-life".
The "half life" of C-14 is 5,730 years.
According to Carbon Dating Theory, if a known amount of C-14 is present, then 5,730 years earlier
there was twice as much of it, because half of the C-14 has decayed over the preceding 5,730 years.
After another 5,730 years half of the remaining C-14 will decay leaving only ¼ of the original C-14.
The Radioactive decay proceeds exponentially from ½ to ¼ to ?, etc.
In theory Carbon -14 never totally disappears, but after about 5 half lives the difference is not
measurable with any degree of accuracy.
8/13/2019 Creation - The Genesis Account - By Dr Richard Kent
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/creation-the-genesis-account-by-dr-richard-kent 75/87
This is why many people believe that Carbon Dating is only accurate for objects less than 40,000
years old.
- It is very important to realise this limitation of all Carbon Dating. If anyone says that the Earth is
billions of years old, based on Carbon Dating, they obviously do not understand how Carbon Dating
works!
- For example, it is commonly stated by Evolutionists that Life started, by chance, 4 billion years ago,
or 4,000,000,000 years ago.
- This would involve 6.9 million half lives of Radioactive Carbon 14, which simply cannot be measured
with any degree of accuracy at all!
- The Earth's atmosphere contains only 0.0000765% radio-active Carbon -14, and we are talking
about tiny quantities of C-14.
- These tiny differences simply cannot be measured accurately over 6.9 million half lives.
A SIMPLE GUIDE TO THE CARBON DATING MACHINE
A Geiger counter may be used to detect radio-active elements such as C-14. The image is from Focus
on Physical Science 1984 p. 485
For example, one gram of Carbon from living plant material causes a Geiger counter to click 16 times
per minute.
It is assumed that a sample that causes 8 clicks per minute on a Geiger counter would be 5,730 years
old (the sample has gone through one half life), and so on.
A true Carbon Dating machine is obviously a far more complex machine, but the basic Mathematics
and Physics used to interpret the date of the specimen is the same, and involves a number of
8/13/2019 Creation - The Genesis Account - By Dr Richard Kent
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/creation-the-genesis-account-by-dr-richard-kent 76/87
assumptions discussed below.
THE CARBON DATING MACHINE DOES NOT ACTUALLY DATE ANYTHING
The Carbon Dating machine only provides information about how much Radioactive Carbon-14 is
present in a sample of material.
The Carbon Dating machine does not provide an actual date.
The actual date of the specimen is arrived at by an application of the known "half life" of Carbon -14
decay.
Since scientists know that Radioactive Carbon-14 decays over a "half life" of 5,730 years, scientists
believe they can date samples of material by interpretation of the quantity of Carbon-14 present, and
the known "half life" of 5,730 years.
The Carbon Dating Theory assumes that the Earth is billions of years old, which is a direct
contradiction of the Biblical account, as described below.
ASSUMPTIONS MADE IN ORDER FOR CARBON DATING TO WORK
ASSUMPTION 1: RADIOACTIVE CARBON-14 IN THE ATMOSPHERE HAS REACHED
EQUILIBRIUM
Explanation of the Equilibrium Point
An example of Equilibrium is explained and
demonstrated in the diagram.
Imagine you were trying to fill a barrel like with water,
but there were holes drilled into the side of the barrel.
As you filled the barrel the water would begin leaking out
of the holes.
Equilibrium is reached when the amount of water added to the barrel is identical to the amount of
water being lost.
This is called the Equilibrium Point.
8/13/2019 Creation - The Genesis Account - By Dr Richard Kent
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/creation-the-genesis-account-by-dr-richard-kent 77/87
The Equilibrium Point in Carbon Dating
The amount of Carbon-14 in the atmosphere today is about .0000765%. In Carbon Dating Theory it
is assumed that:
1. The amount of Carbon-14 in the atmosphere is in Equilibrium, and has been in Equilibrium for
millions of years.
2. The formation of new Carbon-14 in the atmosphere is constant, and has been constant for millions
of years.
3. The uptake of Carbon-14 into plants and animals is constant, and has been for millions of years.
4. The rate of Radioactive decay of Carbon -14 is a constant, with a half life of 5,730 years, and has
been for millions of years.
Scientists generally believe that the Earth is at least 4 billion years old, and Equilibrium must
therefore have been reached billions of years ago.
This Equilibrium Point is absolutely fundamental to the application of Carbon Dating Theory. This is
discussed below.
ASSUMPTION 2: THE EARTH IS ALREADY BILLIONS OF YEARS OLD
Carbon Dating obviously cannot work if the Equilibrium Point has not yet been reached.
It is assumed in Carbon Dating Theory that the Earth is already billions of years old, and that
Equilibrium is not a problem.
It has been calculated that a freshly created Earth would require about 30,000 years for the amount
of C-14 in the atmosphere to reach this Equilibrium Point.
According to Jesus Christ, this Universe is only approximately 6,000 years old
- According to the Bible, the whole Universe and Adam and Eve were created by Jesus Christ, only
6,000 years ago approximately.
- According to Luke 3: 38, Adam was a son of God, not the son of a monkey
8/13/2019 Creation - The Genesis Account - By Dr Richard Kent
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/creation-the-genesis-account-by-dr-richard-kent 78/87
- Evolution is simply not Biblical.
- Luke 3: 23-38 describes the 77 generations from Adam to Jesus Christ, spanning approximately
4,000 years (allowing 50 years per generation to allow for the patriarchs).
- Jesus Christ lived approximately 2,000 years ago.
- Therefore Adam was created approximately 6,000 years ago.
- According to Jesus Christ (in Mark 10:6 and Matthew 19:4) Adam was born at the beginning of the
Creation.
- Jesus said, in Mark 10:6, "From the beginning of the creation, God made them male and female",
NKJV.
- Jesus said, in Matthew 19:4, "Have you not read that He who made them at the beginning made
them male and female," NKJV.
- Therefore the Creation was also 6,000 years ago approximately.
This is covered in greater detail in THE UNIVERSE IS ONLY 6,000 YEARS OLD
Therefore a fundamental error has been made by Carbon Dating scientists, unless the Bible is
rubbish.
The quantity of Radioactive Carbon-14 in the atmosphere cannot have reached the Equilibrium Point
after only 6,000 years, and will not do so until 30,000 years have passed, which is 24,000 years into
the future!
Carbon Dating only works if the Bible is rubbish.
ASSUMPTION 3: THE HUGE WATER CANOPY DESCRIBED IN GENESIS CHAPTER ONE DID
NOT EXIST
The amount of Radioactive Carbon-14 created in the upper atmosphere would be dramatically altered
by the huge Water Canopy described in Genesis Chapter One:
We read in Genesis 1:6-8, "Then God said, "Let there be a firmament in the midst of the waters, and
8/13/2019 Creation - The Genesis Account - By Dr Richard Kent
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/creation-the-genesis-account-by-dr-richard-kent 79/87
let it divide the waters from the waters." Thus God made the firmament, and divided the waters
which were under the firmament from the waters which were above the firmament; and it was so.
And God called the firmament Heaven. So the evening and the morning were the second day."
THE FIRMAMENT (NOW KNOWN AS THE SKY)
The "firmament" is not a word which we now use, so we
need to look carefully to see what God is talking about.
Fortunately in Genesis 1:20 it becomes perfectly clear:
"Let birds fly above the earth across the face of the
firmament of the heavens."
So the "firmament" is the sky, where the birds fly. In
other words, the sky appeared between the water above
the sky, and the water below the sky. After the
appearance of the firmament there were three separate
layers:
- Region 1: Water in the stratosphere.
- Region 2: The sky, where the birds fly.
- Region 3: Water below the sky, now known as the sea
- There was therefore, at the original Creation, a watercanopy in the stratosphere, above the sky (the firmament).
You will recall that Radioactive Carbon-14 is created in the upper atmosphere by the bombardment of
Nitrogen atoms by sunlight.
However, this huge water canopy would have protected the atmosphere of the Earth against this
radiation, and nobody knows exactly how much Radioactive Carbon-14 was created before the Flood
of Noah.
Carbon Dating therefore discounts Genesis Chapter One completely.
Carbon Dating only works if the Bible is rubbish.

8/13/2019 Creation - The Genesis Account - By Dr Richard Kent
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/creation-the-genesis-account-by-dr-richard-kent 86/87
- The Bible teaches that there was a Canopy of Water in the stratosphere at Creation only 6,000
years ago. This would have dramatically altered the partial pressure of Carbon Dioxide in the
atmosphere, and the content of Carbon Dioxide and Radioactive
- Carbon-14 content of the atmosphere.
- Carbon Dating assumes that the Flood of Noah did not happen 4,400 years ago.
- The Bible states that the Flood of Noah happened 4,400 years ago, which flooded the whole Earth
for a whole year. This would have dramatically altered the Radioactive Carbon-14 content of
everything on Planet Earth, and therefore renders Carbon Dating completely useless.
EVERYONE MUST MAKE UP THEIR OWN MIND ABOUT THE ACCURACY, OR OTHERWISE,
OF CARBON DATING
- Either Carbon Dating is true, and the Bible is rubbish.
- Or the Bible is true and Carbon Dating is rubbish.
- They simply cannot both be true!

- The inaccuracy of Carbon Dating is revealed in the quoted cases above.
