Episode 2: The First Five Days (Genesis 1:3-23)
Manage episode 419698499 series 3402174
Secular scientists and philosophers frequently opine about the existence of all that is, but rarely traverse their way back to the origin of existence. It is not that they do not speculate about the age of the universe or perhaps even the age of the earth. It is that it is impossible for the to speak authoritatively, since none of them were around when the universe began, nor were they any human beings around at all! Therefore, they prefer to jump into the middle of the evolutionary model they have created and explain how they believe human beings originated, and then leave the "mythology" of creation origins to others to wrestle with.
The Bible, though, makes it quite clear who created the universe, the earth, and all that inhabits both. It gives a timeline of the order of events, which culminates in the creation of the greatest creature of them all, humanity. In this particular episode, Dr. Paul takes a look at the first five days of creation and what came to be out of nothing on those days. More importantly, Dr. Paul credits God with speaking everything into existence, as he prepared the heavens and the earth for the arrival of mankind; God's crown jewel of creation. It is something that certain secularists are willing to keep an open mind, while others repel amid their hostility and vanity, as they suppress the truth in unrighteousness.
