Our Mission

The Denver Society of Creation is a non-profit

501 (c) (3) organization dedicated to promoting

a clear understanding of the Doctrine of

Creation, recognizing that it is the foundation for

other Christian doctrine. We present the Biblical

account of Creation (creation in six 24-hour

days about 6000 years ago and a global flood)

as true and we demonstrate that the theory of

evolution is an attack on Biblical Christian

teachings which causes many to reject the

Christian faith.

Testimony From a High School Student

“…These past three years in high school have shown me

how hard it can be to be the minority. Sadly, these days in

school, you are in the minority if you believe in God and

stand up for your beliefs. At this time in school, all we were

learning in science class was Evolution and the Big Bang

theory. I didn’t understand any of it.

How could someone teach this as truth when it’s just another

theory? Why does no one think that Creation could be the

truth to how we all began? Often I would be the only one

wanting to challenge these theories. In turn, I was

sometimes criticized from a few teachers for actually

believing the Bible…

Testimony From a High School Student

Not until this year’s lesson on Creation at Ascension, did I

really begin to understand. As I learned, there is an

overwhelming amount of evidence that supports Creation,

it would honestly be crazy not to believe it. One of the most

important things I took away from this study is that, it is

important to believe all of creation, all. Because if you only

believe a little bit here and little there, it then gives the

impression that you can pick and choose what to believe in

the rest of the Bible.

Now, knowing this, it is even more important to me to be strong

in my faith and show others that you can believe all of it, and

have a complete trust in the Lord… “
