Recommended: Creation in genesis

Did God create the world? Genesis 1:1 states, “In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth.” I do believe that God did create the world and listed below are a few of my contentions:
 There is evidence in the Bible that proves God created the world.
 Science even proves that there was a divine creator present when the world was first designed and when life first appeared on earth.
 There is evidence in the human body and in nature that proves God created the world.
First off, the Bible does state that the world and everything that is of the world was created by God. In the book of Genesis, it states that God created the world in seven days with each day consisting of a new creation. On the first day, God created light “day” and darkness “night.” On the second day, God created a vault that separated the water under the vault from the water above the vault. This vault was called “sky.” On the third day, God created “land” and “sea” and then told the land to bring forth vegetation according to their various kinds. On the fourth day, God created the moon, stars, and the sun, each to govern parts of the day. The moon and the stars govern the night and then the sun governs the day and each gives off light to the earth. On the fifth day, God created creatures to swim in the water and creatures to fly in the sky. On the sixth day, God created livestock and wild animals, each to roam the earth according to their kind. Also, God created man and woman in his own image to rule over all the animals of the earth on this same day. On the seventh day, God saw that everything was good and he rested (Genesis 1: 1 - 31). These were the seven days of creation described in the Bible. When I think about the seven days of creation, I do n...

    In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth (Genesis1:1.) God’s perfect wisdom created everything. In Genesis 1 and 2 we can see that God has loving and gentile nature when He created the earth and heavens. God created man in his image and we are the only creation that God breathed in the breath of life for human beings (Genesis 2:7). God did not do this for any of other creations but only for humans. The Bible has many scriptures that tell us how creative God is. Genesis 1;26 states “Let us make man in our image, after our likeness. And let them have dominion over the fish of the sea and over the birds of the heavens and over the livestock and over all the earth and over every creeping thing that creeps on the earth.” God created all of this for us to have fellowship with him.

  • The Cosmogonies of Genesis and the Laws of Manu

    In Genesis, god created merely by speaking. It was god who created the heavens and earth also known as cosmos. Water was already pre-existent matter; everything else was created by god. It all began when god spoke in the darkness and said let there be light and there was light. God saw that the light was good. During the day there would be light, and the darkness would be at night. By the second and third day, god created a firmament (dome) which separated the waters from the waters. God called the firmament heaven and said that all the waters under heaven should be gathered as one allowing for dry land to appear. This created one place for the water and another place for dry land. It was the dry land that beca...

  • How The World Was Made, The Sky Tree, And Genesis

    1654 Words  | 4 Pages

    Genesis reads that “In the beginning, God created the heavens and earth,” then “God’s spirit was hovering over the surface of the waters.” Another characteristic is how, after the water, came land. How the World Was Made, describes how the “soft mud,” from under the water “began to grow and to spread out on every side until it became the island we call the earth.” In The Sky Tree, the soil was “placed...until they made an island of great size.” A final similarity, is how after land came animals and how the animals helped to take care of the people on the earth. In How the World Was Made, the world the animals lived in was called Galun’lati. Galun’lati “was very much crowded,” and “the animals wanted more room;” Water Beetle left to find land so that the animals could have more space. While Water Beetle helped find land for the animals, in The Sky Tree a turtle sees a woman falling from the sky after she had jumped after a sacred tree. Turtle told his friends what he had seen and had them “bring up pawfuls of wet soil,” and place it on his back which created a “new earth,” for the woman to “settle gently on.” In Genesis, God created the animals

  • Summary of the Creation in Genesis

    Every day God created something new and blesses it. God created nothing irrelevant or unworthy. Entirely everything he created served a purpose. Also all he had created came from nothing. The fish were undeniably produced out of the waters, and the beasts and man out of the earth; but that earth and those waters were made out of nothing. God created what is known as the world today and everything that exists on the earth. Reading Genesis 1 gives all mankind an idea of how life started and how the earth was formed to be this magnificent place. The earth is very complicated yet God could solve all of the problems and create blessings. He gave us light and darkness, day and night, water and land. He created all living creature including mankind.

    But I don't want to presuppose that God's existence is a fact before the proof is established. Simply by looking at what constitutes our world, we can say that all matter consists of energy, proving the existence of energy. How, then, do we know this energy exists? The simple answer is, we are aware of it. We then only have to find out how this awareness came about.
