In The Beginning
Gen 1:1-5
• 1 In the beginning God created the Heaven and the
earth.
• 2 And the earth was without form, and void; and
darkness was upon the face of the deep. And the
Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters.
• 3 And God said, Let there be light: and there was light.
• 4 And God saw the light, that it was good: and God
divided the light from the darkness.
• 5 And God called the light Day, and the darkness he
called Night. And the evening and the morning were
the first day.
Second Day
Gen 1:6-8
• 6 And God said, Let there be a firmament in the
midst of the waters, and let it divide the waters
from the waters.
• 7 And 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.
• 8 And God called the firmament Heaven. And the
evening and the morning were the second day.
Third Day
Gen 1:9-13
• 9 And God said, Let the waters under the heaven be
gathered together unto 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
called he Seas: and God saw that it was good. And
God said, Let the earth bring forth grass, the herb
yielding seed, and the fruit tree yielding fruit after his
kind, whose seed is in itself, upon the earth: and it
was so. And the earth brought forth grass, and herb
yielding seed after his kind, and the tree yielding
fruit, whose seed was in itself, after his kind: and God
saw that it was good. And the evening and the
morning were the third day.
Fourth Day
Gen 1:14-19- And God said, Let there be lights in the
firmament of the heaven to divide the day from the
night; and let them be for signs, and for seasons, and
for days, and years: And let them be for lights in the
firmament of the heaven to give light upon the earth:
and it was so. And 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. And God set
them in the firmament of the heaven to give light
upon 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. And the evening and
the morning were the fourth day.
Fifth Day
Gen 1:20-23- And God said, Let the waters bring
forth abundantly the moving creature that hath
life, and fowl that may fly above the earth in the
open firmament of heaven. And God created
great whales, and every living creature that
moveth, which the waters brought forth
abundantly, after their kind, and every winged
fowl after his 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 fowl multiply in the earth. And the
evening and the morning were the fifth day.
Sixth Day
Gen 1:24-31- And God said, Let the earth bring forth the living creature after
his kind, cattle, and creeping thing, and beast of the earth after his kind:
and it was so. And God made the beast of the earth after his kind, and
cattle after their kind, and every thing that creepeth upon the earth after
his kind: and God saw that it was good. And God said, Let us make man in
our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of
the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the
earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth. So God
created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male
and female created he them. And God blessed them, and God said unto
them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth, and subdue it: and
have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and
over every living thing that moveth upon the earth. And God said, Behold,
I have given you every herb bearing seed, which is upon the face of all the
earth, and every tree, in the which is the fruit of a tree yielding seed; to
you it shall be for meat. And to every beast of the earth, and to every fowl
of the air, and to every thing that creepeth upon the earth, wherein there
is life, I have given every green herb for meat: and it was so. And God saw
every thing that he had made, and, behold, it was very good. And the
evening and the morning were the sixth day.
Exodus 20:11
For in six days the Lord made heaven and
earth, the sea, and all that in them is, and
rested the seventh day: wherefore the Lord
blessed the sabbath day, and hallowed it.
The term for days here is ‘yaamiym’ means a
literal 24 hour day.
We cannot arbitrarily assign a definition to a
word that it does not have.
Challenges To The Genesis Account
• Microevolution- adaptation of a species. This is
not denied.
• Macroevolution- changes above the level of
species. For example- change from reptile to
canine.
• Atheistic Evolution- From nothing came
everything (Big Bang)
• Theistic evolution- God simply wound the clock
but did not create everything full-grown with
apparent age. Gives rise to The Gap Theory, The
Day-Age Theory, Geologic Cylinder Concept
(Paleozoic, Mesozoic, etc).
Charles Darwin- Origin of Species
• ‘I am quite conscious that my speculations run quite
beyond the bounds of true science.’ Charles Darwin in
a Letter to Asa Gray, 18 June [1857]
• DARWIN, in his "Descent of Man", specifically states
that man is,descended from "Old World monkeys". You
will find the statement in next to the last Paragraph of
Chapter Six. His precise language is worth
remembering : "The Simiadae then branched off into
two great stems, the New World and Old World
Monkeys; and from the latter at a remote period, Man,
the wonder and glory of the universe, proceeded.”
Challenges To The Hypothesis Of
Evolution
The theory of evolution is only a hypothesis. It is a logical fallacy
based on a false premise, leading to many false conclusions in
many other fields. Darwin later realized this, but yet some
scientists treat it as fact. The big-bang theory contradicts the
scientific principle inherent in the second law of
thermodynamics which states that all systems left on their
own move from order to chaos. The theory of evolution goes
against the law of probability. The odds of life coming into
existence by blind chance are 1 in 10 to the 40, 000th power.
This is an impossibility. According to a brilliant English
astronomer, Sir Fred Hoyle, the chances of higher life forms
ever evolving is the same as a tornado sweeping through a
junk-yard, assembling a Boeing 747 from the materials therein
Why Is Evolution So Popular?
• It is assumed to be true. It is not even a
theory, it is simply a hypothesis. A hypothesis
attempts to answer questions by putting forth
a plausible explanation that has yet to be
rigorously tested. A theory, on the other hand,
has already undergone extensive testing by
various scientists and is generally accepted as
being an accurate explanation of an
observation. This doesn’t mean the theory is
correct;
Is Evolution Theory Or Fact?
• Four Important Definitions Used In The Teaching Of Science:
Working Group on Teaching Evolution, National Academy of Sciences
(1998)
• Fact: In science, an observation that has been repeatedly confirmed.
• Law: A descriptive generalization about how some aspect of the
natural world behaves under stated circumstances. Laws can be very
useful in supporting hypotheses and theories, but like all elements of
science they can be altered with new information and observations.
• Hypothesis: A testable statement about the natural world that can be
used to build more complex inferences and explanations, such as a
scientific theory.
• Theory: In science, a well-substantiated explanation of some aspect
of the natural world that can incorporate facts, laws, inferences, and
tested hypotheses.
Evolution Is Unproveable Assumption
• One survey indicated that 62% of parents today in the U.S
believe that Creation should be taught as a viable
possibility regarding our origin.
• 52% of this same group said they do not believe the theory
of evolution should be taught as a fact.
• Why is it still being taught by many school systems as a
fact? Why is one considered ignorant if they believe in the
Genesis account of our origins?
• Christians have gone silent and are allowing out children to
be taught they are little more than animals. What is the
result? If we are not more than elevated animals, then why
not act like it? Why bother with morality? We are our own
God if evolution is true, and it is truly survival of the fittest.
Why are we surprised that there is so little respect for life
(abortions, tragic killings). Lack of feeling and morals.
What Is The Purpose Of Gap Theory?
Another example of man’s attempt to explain
origins in another way than the Genesis account.
This is a compromise theory (hypothesis). God
did it but it took eons of time. Attempt to
accommodate the Geologic Cylinder
The gap theory was developed mainly for the
purpose of accommodating the great ages
demanded by evolutionary geologists. This idea
was first popularized by a Scottish theologian,
Thomas Chalmers, early in the 19th century.
The Gap Theory- Scientific?
• The reason why geologists will not accept the gap
theory is that it contradicts their assumption that the
past is continuous with the present. There is no room
in their naturalistic approach to science for a global
cataclysm that would destroy all life and then require a
new creation of plants, animals, and people such as the
gap theory proposes.
• Such a cataclysm would disintegrate any previously
deposited sedimentary deposits with their fossils and
thus obliterate all evidence of any previous "geological
ages." Thus the gap theory, which is supposed to
accommodate the geological ages, requires a cataclysm
which would destroy all evidence for the geological
ages.
Is Gap Theory Biblical?
• This awesome spectacle of destruction and death was not
part of God's "very good" creation. There was no death in
the world until sin was in the world (Romans 5:12; I Cor.
15:21). In fact, death itself is "the wages of sin" (Romans
6:23). Our future deliverance from sin and death has been
purchased by the death of Jesus Christ, who is "the
propitiation for our sins and ... also for the sins of the whole
world" (John 2:2).
• But if "death reigned" not "from Adam to Moses," as the
Bible says (Romans 5:14), but had already reigned for
billions of years before Adam, then death is not the wages
of sin but instead was part of God's creative purpose. How
then could the death of Christ put away sin? The gap theory
thus undermines the very gospel of our salvation, as well as
the holy character of God.
Is Gap Theory Biblical?
• The fact is that no such gap exists between the
first two verses of Genesis at all. The second verse
merely describes the initial aspect of the creation
as "without form and void"—that is, with neither
structure nor inhabitants. The rest of the chapter
tells how God produced a marvelous structure for
His created universe, with multitudes of plant and
animal inhabitants for the earth, all to be under
the dominion of its human inhabitants created in
the image of God. It was only then that God
pronounced the creation "finished" (Genesis 2:1).
Literal 24 Hour Days? YES
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
There is a theory that says each of God's days in Genesis were actually millions of
years for us. Is this true? What does the word "day" mean in Genesis?
The Hebrew word "yom" is translated as day in Genesis. Just as our word "day" can
have different meanings based on its context, so can the word "yom". For example, in
the Old Testament "yom" is translated to mean a 24 hour day 1109 times.
However, every time the word "yom" is used with the term evening or morning in the
Bible, it means a regular 24 hour day.
What we now see is that in Genesis chapter one God is going out of His way to
emphasize that each day is a normal 24 hour day.
Verse 5: "And there was evening and there was morning, one day."
Verse 8: "And there was evening and there was morning, a second day."
Verse 13: "There was evening and there was morning, a third day."
For each day of creation the pattern is the same: evening, morning, number, day. Just
part of that pattern, for example using the words "evening" and "day" together, tell us
it was a 24 hour day. But God tells us in three ways -- evening, morning, number -that the word day means... an ordinary 24 hour day.
God is making it very clear: He created everything in six ordinary days.
• One of the popular devices for trying to accommodate the
evolutionary ages of the geologists and astronomers in the creation
record of the Bible has been the "gap theory"—also called the
"ruin-and-reconstruction" theory.
• According to this concept, Genesis 1:1 describes the initial creation
of the universe. Following this, the standard events of cosmic
evolution took place, which eventually produced our solar system
about five billion years ago. Then, on the earth, the various geologic
ages followed, as identified by their respective assemblages of
fossils (trilobites, dinosaurs, etc.).
• But then occurred a devastating global cataclysm, destroying all life
on Earth and leaving a vast fossil graveyard everywhere. This
situation is then said to be what is described in Genesis 1:2. "And
the earth was without form and void; and darkness was upon the
face of the deep."
• Those who advocate the gap theory agree that the six days of the
creation week were literal days, but they interpret them only as
days of recreation, with God creating again many of the kinds of
animals and plants destroyed in the cataclysm
Day-Age Theory? Why?
• Why Believe the Day-Age Theory?
• There are at least two reasons why the Day-Age Theory has
been advocated. First, some in religious circles have accepted
as factual most, or all, of organic evolution, and in so doing
have adopted the concept known as theistic evolution—the
idea that evolution did occur but was guided and controlled
by God. Theistic evolutionists therefore must find a way to
accommodate the Genesis record to the evolutionary
scenario, a critical part of which is an ancient Universe and/or
Earth. Without vast amounts of time, evolution is impossible.
Thus, the Day-Age Theory often is employed to insert geologic
time into the biblical text so that evolution may be accepted
as true. John Klotz addressed this point in Genes, Genesis, and
Evolution: “It is hardly conceivable that anyone would
question the interpretation of these as ordinary days were it
not for the fact that people are attempting to reconcile
Genesis and evolution” (1955, p. 87).
Literal Days
• 1. The days of creation should be accepted as literal,
24-hour periods because the context demands such a
rendering.
• The language of the text is simple and clear. Honest
exegetes cannot read anything else out of these verses
than a day of 24 hours and a week of 7 days. There is
not the slightest indication that this is to be regarded
as poetry or as an allegory or that it is not to be taken
as a historical fact. The language is that of normal
human speech to be taken at face value, and the
unbiased reader will understand it as it reads. There is
no indication that anything but a literal sense is meant
(Rehwinkel, 1974, p. 70).
Yom-Olam- Rab
• Whenever the writer really intended to convey
the idea of a very long duration of time, he
normally used some such word as olam (meaning
“age” or “long time”) or else attached to yom an
adjective such as rab (meaning “long”), so that
the two words together yom rab, then meant
“long time.” But yom by itself can apparently
never be proved, in one single case, to require
the meaning of a long period of time, and
certainly no usage which would suggest a
geologic age (1974, p. 223, emp. in orig.).
Day & Night- Evening & Morning
• The days of creation should be accepted as literal, 24hour periods because God used and defined the word
yom in the context of Genesis 1.
• Actually, it is nothing short of amazing to discover the
evidence actually built into the text for “interpreting”
what kind of days these were. In Genesis 1:5, Moses
wrote: “And God called the light Day, and the darkness
He called Night. And the evening and the morning
were the first day.” The “first day” is thus defined by
Moses as a period consisting of both day and night—
i.e., a normal day.
Days- Seasons- Years
• Genesis 1:14 is instructive on this matter: “And God
said, Let there be lights in the firmament of heaven to
divide the day from the night; and let them be for signs
and for seasons, and for days and for years.” If the
“days” are “ages,” then what are the years? If a day is
an age, then what is a night? In other words, the whole
passage becomes ridiculous when one attempts to
“reinterpret” the word “day.” Marcus Dods, writing in
the Expositor’s Bible, stated simply: “If the word ‘day’
in this chapter [Genesis 1—BT] does not mean a period
of 24 hours, the interpretation of Scripture is hopeless”
(1948, 1:4-5).
Yom & A Number
• The days of creation should be accepted as literal, 24hour periods because whenever the Hebrew word yom
is preceded by a numeral in Old Testament nonprophetical literature (viz., the same kind of literature
found in Genesis 1), it always carries the meaning of a
normal day.
• In addressing this point, Arthur Williams has remarked:
“We have failed to find a single example of the use of
the word ‘day’ in the entire Scripture where it means
other than a period of twenty-four hours when
modified by the use of the numerical adjective” (1965,
p 10).
Sun On 4th Day
• Some have suggested, of course, that literal, 24-hour days would not have
been possible until at least the fourth day, because the Sun had not yet been
created. Note, however, that the same “evening and morning” is employed
before Genesis 1:14 (the creation of the Sun) as after it. Why should there be
three long eras of time before the appearing of the Sun, and only 24-hour
days after its creation? Numerous writers have responded to this objection.
• Insofar as the view is concerned that these could not be ordinary days
because the sun had not been created, we should like to point to the fact
that we still measure time in terms of days even though the sun does not
appear or is not visible. For instance, north of the Arctic Circle and south of
the Antarctic Circle the sun does not appear for periods of time up to six
months at the poles themselves. We would not think of measuring time in
terms of the appearance or lack of appearance of the sun in these areas. No
one would contend that at the North or South Pole a day is the equivalent of
six months elsewhere (Klotz, 1955, p. 85). ...If to this the objection is offered
that the sun did not shine on the earth until the fourth day, it should be
remembered that it is the function of the heavenly bodies to mark the days,
not make them! It is night when no moon appears; and the day is the same
whether the sun is seen or not (Woods, 1976, p. 17, emp. in orig.).
What The Bible Says About
Creation Days?
• The days of creation should be accepted as literal, 24-hour
periods because of plain statements about them in
Scripture.
• “For in six days Jehovah made heaven and earth, the sea,
and all that in them is...” (Exodus 20:11).“For he spake, and
it was done; He commanded, and it stood fast” (Psalm
33:9).“Let them praise the name of Jehovah; for he
commanded and they were created” (Psalm 148:5).“For in
six days Jehovah made heaven and earth, and on the
seventh day he rested, and was refreshed” (Exodus
31:17).Does a simple, straightforward reading of these
verses imply long periods of evolutionary progress, or
literal, 24-hour days and instantaneous creation?
The Garden Of Eden- Gen. 2:18-3:24
• 2:18-25- God makes Eve and brings her to Adam and
joins them in marriage (the oldest of institutions).
• Man and woman have access to tree of life.
• Not to eat of tree of knowledge of good &evil
• 3:1-24- Sin enters the world (Eve deceived, Adam is not
deceived- 1 Tim. 2:14). Tempted in all points (1 Jn.
2:16- lust of flesh, eye, pride of life).
• Man experiences shame and guilt and seeks to clothe
himself. God clothes them, places curse on ground and
gives pain in childbirth.
• Banishment from garden ( Gen. 3:24) and birth of Cain
and Abel
Sin Enters The World
• 1 Tim. 2:14- Eve was tempted, Adam was not
• Death entered the world: Physical death and
spiritual death.
• Access to the tree of life is taken away.
• Man only being God made that has the capacity
to reject the Creator. We have a choice. We are
not born to sin, nor to we inherit the sin of Adam.
• The consequences of the sin of Adam are passed
to all- we will all die physically and if we live long
enough to be responsible we will fall into sin
(Rom. 3:23; 6:23).
Inherited Sin? No
• If we inherit the sin of Adam then little children
are sinners when they are born and Romans 6:23
says the wages of sin is death.
• Jesus said we are to become as little children
(Matt. 18:3; 19:14), in order to be in His kingdom.
He was not saying we need to become sinners.
• Children are innocent and pure. This is what
Christ was referring to.
• No need to baptize babies- baptism is for
remission of sins (Acts 2:38). Babies have no sin.
Generations of Adam and The Flood
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
Generations- 4:25- 5:32
The flood- 6:1-9:29
6:1-4- Mankind becomes wicked
6:5-22- God warns Noah to prepare for the flood
(preach and warn people for 120 years and build an ark
according to the pattern- gather animal).
7:1-24- the flood begins- 8 souls in ark and God closes
the door- no more access. See 1 Peter 3:20-22
8:1-22- waters recede
9:1-17- covenant of God – sign of rainbow
9:18-29- curse upon Canaan.
Was The Flood Worldwide?
• The clearest verses that show the extent of the flood are Genesis
7:19-23- Regarding the waters, “They rose greatly on the earth,
and all the high mountains under the entire heavens were covered.
The waters rose and covered the mountains to a depth of more
than twenty feet. Every living thing that moved on the earth
perished—birds, livestock, wild animals, all the creatures that
swarm over the earth, and all mankind. Everything on dry land that
had the breath of life in its nostrils died. Every living thing on the
face of the earth was wiped out; men and animals and the
creatures that move along the ground and the birds of the air were
wiped from the earth. Only Noah was left, and those with him in
the ark.”
• 2 Peter 3:6.7,20 – all of these verses indicate that the flood was
worldwide.
• Jesus said it was worldwide- Luke 17:26-27; Mt. 24:37-39 He uses it
as a type of the destruction of the world at the end of time.
2 Peter 3:6,7; 1 Pet. 3:20,21
6
Whereby the world that then was, being overflowed with
water, perished: But the heavens and the earth, which are
now, by the same word are kept in store, reserved unto
fire against the day of judgment and perdition of ungodly
men.
20
Which sometime were disobedient, when once the
longsuffering of God waited in the days of Noah, while the
ark was a preparing, wherein few, that is, eight souls were
saved by water. The like figure whereunto even baptism
doth also now save us (not the putting away of the filth of
the flesh, but the answer of a good conscience toward
God,) by the resurrection of Jesus Christ:
The Scattering Of The People

• 11:10-26- generations of Shem narrowed to
one line. Shem -Abraham
Generational Contact
The last 40 years of Noah’s Life , all 10 patriarchs
born after the flood were alive including
Abraham.
Shem, the son of Noah, lived to see the first 100
plus years of Isaac's life and the first 50 years of
Jacob's life.
Seventy-eight years after the death of Shem, the
children of Israel moved into Egypt during the
drought.
Amazing Links Of The Generations
•
•
•
It is amazing to realize due to the length of the lifespans how "first hand" this history
was all the way down to Jacob's 12 sons....even though it was not recorded until
much later than Adam's time on earth....at least on any documents that we have
found to date. When Joseph died (somewhere around the year 2,309 from when
Adam was banished from the Garden), you can see One,..... Two, ......Three
intersecting lifespans covering the time from Joseph to those who knew Adam. From
the bottom working up to Adams time....One being Joseph's....Two being
Jacob's....Three being Shem's(Noah's son).....who knew Methuselah for 99
years.....who knew Adam for over 240 years.
Shem (Noah's son) was born pre-flood and knew Methuselah, and Lamech, (both of
whom knew Adam); and Noah, Terah (Abraham's father), Abraham, Isaac, and
Joseph's father Jacob (son of Isaac), (Jacob died in Egypt about 280 years before
Aaron and Moses were born).
Adam knew Enoch, and Enoch's son Methuselah. Methuselah, (Who was 247 yrs old
when Adam died.) also knew Noah for 600 years, and Noah's son Shem for about 100
years. Noah (who had first hand accounts of Adam through Methuselah) knew
Abraham for about 60 years. Noah's son, Shem knew Abraham for all of Abraham's
175 years, outliving Abraham for an additional 35 years. Shem was still alive when
Abraham's son Isaac was born and when Isaac's son, Jacob, was born. Isaac was 110
years old and Jacob was 50 years old when Shem died.

Romans 5:15-17-First & Second Adam
15
But not as the offence, so also is the free gift. For if
through the offence of one many be dead, much
more the grace of God, and the gift by grace, which is
by one man, Jesus Christ, hath abounded unto many.
16 And not as it was by one that sinned, so is the gift: for
the judgment was by one to condemnation, but the
free gift is of many offences unto justification.
17 For if by one man's offence death reigned by one;
much more they which receive abundance of grace
and of the gift of righteousness shall reign in life by
one, Jesus Christ.)
Hebrews 11- Faith & Works
Heb 11:3- Through faith we understand that the worlds were framed by the word of God, so
that things which are seen were not made of things which do appear.
Heb 11:7- By faith Noah, being warned of God of things not seen as yet, moved with fear,
prepared an ark to the saving of his house; by the which he condemned the world, and
became heir of the righteousness which is by faith.
Heb 11:8-10- By faith Abraham, when he was called to go out into a place which he should
after receive for an inheritance, obeyed; and he went out, not knowing whither he went.
By faith he sojourned in the land of promise, as in a strange country, dwelling in
tabernacles with Isaac and Jacob, the heirs with him of the same promise: For he looked
for a city which hath foundations, whose builder and maker is God.
Heb 11:17-22- By faith Abraham, when he was tried, offered up Isaac: and he that had
received the promises offered up his only begotten son, Of whom it was said, That in
Isaac shall thy seed be called: Accounting that God was able to raise him up, even from
the dead; from whence also he received him in a figure. By faith Isaac blessed Jacob and
Esau concerning things to come. By faith Jacob, when he was a dying, blessed both the
sons of Joseph; and worshipped, leaning upon the top of his staff. By faith Joseph, when
he died, made mention of the departing of the children of Israel; and gave
commandment concerning his bones.
