Biblical Creationism
The basic tenants of Creation Science are summarized as follows:
The Bible reveals God’s creation; the Genesis account is true
Research reveals evidence for a young earth
Evidence claiming that evolution is a fact can be refuted
Creation scientists are not ashamed to make the bold proclamation that God is the Creator of all things. First of all, God has made Himself know through His creation. All you have to do is look up into the vast heavens and see all the stars, or look at the beauty of all the plants and animals on the earth, and you will see the handiwork of God.
For by him were all things created, that are in heaven, and that are in earth, visible and invisible, whether they be thrones, or dominions, or principalities, or powers: all things were created by him, and for him. Col 1:16
Creation scientists believe God’s Word is true; that He created everything in 6 days, as stated in Ex 20:11, that we are a special creation apart from the animals, created in God’s image, that man sinned and brought the curse of death upon all men, that God sent a great flood to destroy the world, but Noah and his wife and his sons and their wives were spared. Therefore we should see evidence a Noah’s flood, and we do. We should see genetic evidence that we are all descended from the sons of Noah, and we do in DNA studies. We will explore these things and much more in subsequent blogs.
We are held accountable for our beliefs. The Bible says in Romans 1 that we are without excuse for not believing in our Creator God.
Because that which may be known of God is manifest in them; for God hath shewed it unto them. For the invisible things of him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even his eternal power and Godhead; so that they are without excuse: Because that, when they knew God, they glorified him not as God, neither were thankful; but became vain in their imaginations, and their foolish heart was darkened. Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools, Rom 1:19-22
By the word of the LORD were the heavens made; and all the host of them by the breath of his mouth. He gathereth the waters of the sea together as an heap: he layeth up the depth in storehouses. Let all the earth fear the LORD: let all the inhabitants of the world stand in awe of him. For he spake, and it was done; he commanded, and it stood fast.
Ps 33:6-9
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 11:3
Why is it important to believe in Biblical Creationism? If we adopt a comprised worldview and accept evolution, we must say that the Bible is not really God’s Word , but that the Genesis account of creation is just an allegory written to ignorant men long ago who couldn’t understand the science we know today. The Book of Genesis not only tells us about creation, but about sin, death, marriage, worship, love, and many more important doctrines of the faith. If we deny creation, which is the foundation for all other doctrines, then how can we defend all the rest of the Bible? Ultimately, how do we defend the teachings of Our Lord Jesus Christ, who affirmed the Genesis account of creation? The answer is, we can’t.
