Genesis 1:1
“In the beginning, God
created the heavens and
the earth.”
The First Five
Words of the Bible

First 5 Words
Need to be comfortable with those first 5 words of the Bible.
Faith in Jesus Christ starts with a Creator God = “INTELLIGENT DESIGNER”
Theory of Evolution is taught as FACT in most college/high school biology classes. Also in Geology, Palentology and many other “ologies”
![Page 5: THE FIRST FIVE WORDS - A Thinking Faith · First 5 Words Need to be comfortable with those first 5 words of the Bible. Faith in Jesus Christ starts with a Creator God = “INTELLIGENT](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022042317/5f064d7c7e708231d4175055/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
In Darwin’s time, the philosophy “God
is Dead” was becoming popular (Philosopher Nietzshe)
So Darwin’s Theory of Evolution became a way to “kill” the need for God.
Same today. People don’t want to believe in God so they find reasons not to.
God is Dead (Atheism)

Bad Science
Scientific Fact: Repeatable, Observable
Theory of Evolution of species is not
repeatable, testable, observable.
However, it is wrongly presented as
Scientifically proven in classrooms and
the media.

Last Week: Three Problems with
Theory of Evolution
1) The BIG LEAP from evolution
within a species (micro-evolution) to
Theory of Evolution of new species
(macro-evolution)

THE BIG LEAP
A dog becoming another type of dog or a moth being darker does not prove we came from a common ancestor.
Similar forms or fossils do not mean they came from each other.
THIS IS THE PRIMARY SCIENTIFIC EVIDENCE ON WHICH DARWIN & OTHERS BASED THEIR ORIGINAL THEORY OF EVOLUTION

1) The BIG LEAP from evolution in a
species (micro-evolution) to evolution
of new species (macro-evolution)
2) Complexity of the cell – bacteria

Cells are Much More Complex
than Darwin Imagined!
Like an outboard motor
Fuel tank
Carborator to inject fuel
Pistons and cylinders
Engine Block
Cooling system
Starter to get the whole thing going
Etc, etc

How do these evolve separately?
Many components sized to fit each other. Too big or small = don’t work!
Parts and components are worthless by themselves for creating power.
How do you build this system gradually like Darwin’s Theory proposes?

Missing Links
Scientists have been searching for the
Missing Link in their theory of human
evolution for decades, and they still have
not found it.

Charles Darwin - 1859
THE ORIGIN OF SPECIES
REGARDING MISSING LINKS IN THE
FOSSIL RECORD
“The number of intermediate varieties, which have
formerly existed on the earth, (must) be truly
enormous. Why then is not every geological
formation and every stratum full of such
intermediate links? Geology assuredly does not
reveal any such finely graduated organic chain; and
this, perhaps, is the most obvious and gravest
objection which can be urged against my
theory.”

Missing Links in Fossil Record
“The record of evolution is still surprisingly jerky and, ironically, we
have even fewer examples of evolutionary transitions than we had in
Darwin’s time.”
(Raup, David, “Conflicts between Darwin and Paleontology,” Field Museum of Natural History Bulletin, Jan. 1979, Vol. 50 No. 1 p. 25.)

Missing Links in Fossil Record
“Transitions between major groups of organisms . . . are difficult to establish in the fossil record.”
(Padian, K., The Origin of Turtles: One Fewer Problem for Creationists, 1991, p. 18.)

Possible Views From The Bible
Viewpoint 1:
Days of Creation = 24 Hours The Jewish historian Josephus, writing around 94 A.D., calculated the age of the earth as less than 6,000 years old
(8,000 years old today)
Positive = Literal Interpretation of Scripture
Question = Why would the earth appear so old? (Various views on this)

Possible Views From The Bible
Viewpoint 2: Gap View
There was an indefinitely long period of
time between Genesis 1:1 and 1:2
1 In the beginning God created the
heavens and the earth. 2 Now the earth was
formless and empty, darkness was over the
surface of the deep, and the Spirit of God was
hovering over the waters.

Possible Views From The Bible
Viewpoint 3: Day = Age View
Each ‘day’ in Genesis 1 was actually a
long period of time.
A thousand years in your sight are like a day
that has just gone by, or like a watch in the
night. Psalm 90:4

1) Let’s agree on the “first five
words” = GOD CREATED
2) Each of us choose what we
are comfortable with for age of
the earth.
3) What really matters is Jesus!

believe the Biblical account of Jesus)
