In the Beginning: Science and
Genesis 1-11
“If the foundations are destroyed, what can the
righteous do?“ Psalm 11:3
Albert Einstein
1 Peter 3:15
“but sanctify Christ as Lord in your hearts, always
being ready to make a defense to everyone who asks
you to give an account for the hope that is in you,
yet with gentleness and reverence.”
Why should we take seriously what the Bible says
over any other “religious” book?
World Religions
1. Evolution - the religion that wrongly teaches
that man created god.
Evolution’s “John 1:1”:
From eternity were the particles…
and the particles became complex
living stuff.
And the living stuff became aware,
and the living stuff conceived
of god.

Recipe Religions - the religions that rightly
teach that God created man but wrongly teach
you can earn salvation by your own deeds.

Christianity - the religion that rightly teaches
salvation is by grace alone, through faith alone,
in Christ alone and cannot be earned (Eph 2:89).
2 Tim 3:16:
“All Scripture is inspired by God and
profitable for teaching, for reproof, for
correction, for training in righteousness.”
The Bible:
Contains 1,817 prophecies
Covering 737 different subjects
27% of the Bible is prophetic!
Its prophecies fulfilled to date have been
100% accurate!
Isaiah 64:6
“All our righteous deeds are
like a filthy garment.”
Luke 19:44
“because you did not recognize the time of
your visitation.”
Daniel 9:25-26
“So you are to know and discern that from the
issuing of a decree to restore and rebuild
Jerusalem until Messiah the Prince there will be
seven week and sixty-two weeks… Then after the
sixty-two weeks Messiah will be cut off.”
Aren’t science and religion separate
disciplines that do not involve each
other?
Science and Creationism:

"Scientists, like many others, are touched with
awe at the order and complexity of nature.
Indeed, many scientists are deeply religious. But
science and religion occupy two separate realms
of human experience. Demanding that they be
combined detracts from the glory of each."
Non-overlapping Magisteria
"the reason why we support
that position is that it happens
to be right, logically. But we
should also be aware that it is
very practical as well if we want
to prevail.”
Science and Creationism: A View from the
National Academy of Sciences
“The hypothesis of special creation has, over
nearly two centuries, been repeatedly
...considered and rejected... In the forms given in
the first two chapters of Genesis it is now an
invalidated hypothesis...”
“Confronted by this challenge to the integrity and
effectiveness of our national education system ...
the Academy states unequivocally that the tenets
of ‘creation science’ are not supported by
scientific evidence...and creation has no place in a
science curriculum at any level.”

Isn’t Genesis just an allegory and not
intended to be read as a narrative of how the
earth and all that is in it was created?
Mark 10: 6-8
“But from the beginning of creation, God MADE
THEM MALE AND FEMALE. For THIS
CAUSE A MAN SHALL LEAVE HIS FATHER
AND MOTHER, AND THE TWO SHALL
BECOME ONE FLESH…”

English is called an SVO language,

Hebrew is VSO,

and Japanese is SOV.
Language Structure:
English – Our cat (s) caught (v) a mouse (o)
Hebrew – Caught (v) our cat (s) (a) mouse (o)
Japanese – Our cat (s) (a) mouse (o) caught (v)
Hebrew in the vso is narrative, but in the svo,
such as the Psalms, it is poetic.
Genesis 1:1 (Hebrew)
“At-start created (V) God (S) the heavens
and the earth (0).”
verb(V) subject(S) object(O)
Genesis 1:1 is written in the vso,
so it is a narrative, not poetry.

When did God make man?

“And God created man in his own image…”
When did God make mammals?

Gen 1:25:
“And God made the beasts of the

fifth day.”

Gen 1:31: “And there was … morning, the
sixth day.”
They were all made on Day 6.
Therefore, …
…there is no such thing as
a
prehistoric animal!
They compromise Scripture by filtering the
immutable, inerrant word of God through
dynamic, ever changing science, rather than
filtering dynamic science through the immutable,
inerrant word of God.

“But do not let this one fact escape your
notice, beloved, that with the Lord one day
is as a thousand years, and a thousand years
as one day.”

Neither are your ways My ways, declares the Lord.
For as the heavens are higher than the earth,
So are My ways higher than your ways,
And My thoughts than your thoughts.”
