In The Beginning, ...

The Big Bang???

So there was this big explosion.

Where did 'it' come from?

Science does not have a good answer for that question.

That makes it a theory.

We walk by FAITH.

However, we are NOT without scruples!

Bible Account of Creation

Most theologians, (preachers), believe the following basic points about creation

The Bible has the true account of the 'history' of the world

God created everything in the universe about 6,000 years ago.

Dinosaurs (among other things) were created on

day six along with all land-dwelling animals (Gen.

1:24).

GOD ( The Creator) was pleased with His Work

(Gen. 1: 31)

Things Most Bible Believers Believe

God destroyed mankind by Flood

Noah and has family were saved

After rapidly re-growing the population they were dispersed at Babel

The time period for the age of present day man is based on genealogies. (7- 10 K years - Not Billions etc.)

There are those who don't believe...

John 6:64-65 But there are some of you that believe not. For Jesus knew from the beginning who they were that believed not, and who should betray him. And he said, Therefore said I unto you, that no man can come unto me, except it were given unto him of my Father. (KJV)

Romans 3:3 For what if some did not believe? shall their unbelief make the faith of God without effect?

There are many people who don't believe the Bible. Some of them will never believe. So don't waste your time on them!

If God is good then....???

This is a question many people ask. Why so much suffering in the world if God said it was so good?

Would you curse the Ford Motor Company for a car damaged in a car wreck?

The world, and everything in it is in a 'fallen state'. God will correct this in His own time.

Genesis 2:16-17 - God's commandment to Adam/ Eve

Man's Fall - Earth's FallRomans 5:12-13 Wherefore, as by one man sin entered into the world, and death by sin; and so death passed upon all men, for that all have sinned: (For until the law sin was in the world: but sin is not imputed when there is no law. (KJV)

Many preachers base their belief against pre- Eden on this scripture.

What About the Dinosaurs?How big was the ARK?

“The Ark measured 300 x 50 x 30 cubits which is about 459 x 75 x 44 feet, so its volume was 1.54 million cubic feet… This is the equivalent volume of 522 standard American railroad stock cars," - Jonathan Sarfati 'Answers in Genesis'.

Some people have problems with the Noah bringing all 'kinds' of animals. It is estimated that there were only about 8000 kinds of animals.

Example of 9,000 bird species, approximately 400 are hummingbirds

We Need More Believing ScientistsGeologists have a lot to explain about how old things

are. They admit this.

I believe that their methods of testing is always based on disbelief rather than the possibility that the Bible is truth.

(That Man came from ape)....

This paradigm has clearly been falsified, but sadly the public has not been told. The long-standing claim that the human and chimpanzee genomes are almost identical was largely based upon selective use of data and was driven by ideological commitment. - Dr. John C. Sanford

Preachers might also need to open their minds about some scriptural interpretation as well.

Hold On To Your Faith!

Faith is a fragile.

If you’re looking for reasons not to believe you can find them all over.

Heb. 11:6; Heb. 10:23

2 Cor. 5:7

Psalm 19 - Joseph Rodgers• If the earth were 1 degree closer to the sun, we’d fry!

o If we were 1 degree further, we’d freeze!

• If the moon was any closer or larger, the tides would destroy the coast lines.

o If any smaller/further away -oceans would die from a lack of nutrient movement

• If our distance from Jupiter were any greater, asteroids and comets would pepper the earth.

o If we were any closer our orbit would become unstable.

• If earth’s surface gravity was any stronger, it would retain too much ammonia and methane and we couldn’t breath.

o If it were any weaker, earth’s atmosphere would lose too much water and we’d not have the liquid necessary to survive.

• If the earth’s crust were any thicker, it would absorb too much of our oxygen. We wouldn’t be able to breath.

o If it was any thinner; the earth would move and shake beneath our feet and would make life impossible.

Are You A 'Scoffer' (mocker)?2 Peter 3:3-13

It is normal to have questions that you would like answered (2+2) ?

It is quite another thing to be an un-believer and use those questions to perpetuate your unbelief

Galatians 6:7 Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap. (KJV)

GET ON THE 'ARK' of Christ! - Rom. 10: 9

No God? - Plenty Questions!

Psalm 51:1 -6 - Rom. 1: 18-19

What are we evolving to?

What is man?

Why are there still ape species? Aren't they evolving too?

Now that God has been eliminated who do we blame?

What about the spirit of man? No soul?

Why be moral?
