IN A COURT OF LAW TRUTH IS DETERMINED BY EVIDENCE. IF THE TRIAL IS TO DETERMINE THE LAW, THEN A JUDGE WILL EXAMINE THE EVIDENCE, AND DETERMINE THE TRUTH. IF THE TRIAL IS TO DETERMINE A "FACT" THEN A JURY WILL EXAMINE THE EVIDENCE, AND DETERMINE THE TRUTH. MANY OF THE THINGS TAUGHT ABOUT CREATION IN SCHOOLS, COLLEGES, AND UNIVERSITIES, DO NOT AGREE WITH THE BIBLES ACCOUNT OF CREATION. FOR EXAMPLE MANY HIGHLY EDUCATED MEN TEACH THAT THE WORLD IS HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS, IF NOT MILLIONS OF YEARS OLD. THE BIBLE TEACHES THAT THE WORLD WAS CREATED BY GOD IN SIX DAYS AND IS ONLY FIVE DAYS OLDER THAN ADAM. EDUCATED MEN TEACH ABOUT EVOLUTION, AND A TIME KNOWN AS THE ICE AGE, AND DINOSAURS THE BIBLE TEACHES NOTHING OF THESE THINGS. HERESY IS A TERRIBLE SIN, PEOPLE THAT TEACH HERESY SHALL NOT INHERIT THE KINGDOM OF GOD. LOOK AT THE FOLLOWING EVIDENCE AND DETERMINE THE TRUTH CONCERNING CREATION. WHY DID GOD CREATE HEAVEN, AND EARTH, AND ALL THAT IS IN THEM. WHY DID GOD CREATE YOU? GOD CREATED ALL THINGS FOR HIS PLEASURE. RV:4:10 THE FOUR AND TWENTY ELDERS FALL DOWN BEFORE HIM THAT SAT ON THE THRONE, AND WORSHIP HIM THAT LIVETH FOR EVER AND EVER, AND CAST THEIR CROWNS BEFORE THE THRONE, SAYING, 11. THOU ARE WORTHY, O LORD, TO RECEIVE GLORY AND HONOUR AND POWER: FOR THOU HAST CREATED ALL THINGS, AND FOR THY PLEASURE THEY ARE AND WERE CREATED. HOW OLD IS GOD’S CREATION? ACCORDING TO THE BIBLE, THE WRITTEN WORD OF GOD; THE EARTH, THE SUN, THE MOON, AND THE STARS AND ALL THAT IS WITHIN THEM WERE CREATED NOT MORE THAN FIVE DAYS BEFORE THE CREATION OF ADAM, WE HAVE THE GENEALOGY FROM ADAM UNTIL CHRIST LK:3:23-38. AND THE GENERATIONS WERE COUNTED FROM ABRAHAM UNTIL CHRIST. MT:1:16 AND JACOB BEGAT JOSEPH THE HUSBAND OF MARY, OF WHOM WAS BORN JESUS, WHO IS CALLED CHRIST. 17. SO ALL THE GENERATIONS FROM ABRAHAM TO DAVID ARE FOURTEEN GENERATIONS; AND FROM DAVID UNTIL THE CARRYING AWAY INTO BABYLON ARE FOURTEEN GENERATIONS; AND FROM THE CARRYING AWAY INTO BABYLON UNTO CHRIST ARE FOURTEEN GENERATIONS. BEFORE THE SUN, AND THE MOON WERE CREATED GOD SPOKE AND SAID, "LET THERE BE LIGHT, AND THERE WAS LIGHT" GN:1:3 AND GOD SAID, LET THERE BE LIGHT: AND THERE WAS LIGHT. JESUS CHRIST IS LIGHT AND IN HIM IS NO DARKNESS AT ALL. 1JN:1:5 THIS THEN IS THE MESSAGE WHICH WE HAVE HEARD OF HIM, AND DECLARE UNTO YOU, THAT GOD IS LIGHT, AND IN HIM IS ‘NO DARKNESS AT ALL. JESUS IS THE FIRST BORN OF EVERY CREATURE. A CREATURE IS SOMETHING THAT GOD CREATED. COL:1:15 WHO IS THE IMAGE OF THE INVISIBLE GOD, THE FIRSTBORN OF EVERY CREATURE. GOD SPOKE AND HE TOOK HIS WORD, AND SHAPED AND FORMED THE WORD IN SUCH A WAY THAT THE WORD OF GOD BECAME THE SON OF GOD. JN:1:1 IN THE BEGINNING WAS THE WORD, AND THE WORD WAS WITH GOD, AND THE WORD WAS GOD. WHEN GOD CREATED THE LORD JESUS CHRIST, HIS BLESSED CHILD, HE CREATED JESUS IN HIS EXPRESS IMAGE. JESUS CHRIST LOOKS IDENTICAL TO GOD THE FATHER. HEB:1:1 GOD, WHO AT SUNDRY TIMES AND IN DIVERS MANNERS SPAKE IN TIME PAST UNTO THE FATHERS BY THE PROPHETS, 2. HATH IN THESE LAST DAYS SPOKEN UNTO US BY HIS SON, WHOM HE HATH APPOINTED HEIR OF ALL THINGS, BY WHOM ALSO HE MADE THE WORLDS; 3. WHO BEING THE BRIGHTNESS OF HIS GLORY, AND THE EXPRESS IMAGE OF HIS PERSON, AND UPHOLDING ALL THINGS BY THE WORD OF HIS POWER, WHEN HE HAD BY HIMSELF PURGED OUR SINS, SAT DOWN ON THE RIGHT HAND OF THE MAJESTY ON HIGH. GOD THE FATHER CREATED JESUS EQUAL TO HIMSELF. FOR ANY TWO THINGS TO BE EQUAL THEY MUST BE IDENTICAL, THEREFORE , IS JESUS THE SAME SIZE AS THE FATHER, DOES HE HAVE THE SAME APPEARANCE AS THE FATHER, DOES HE HAVE THE SAME POWER AS THE FATHER, WAS HE CREATED OF THE SAME SUBSTANCE AS GOD THE FATHER? YES, JESUS WAS CREATED IDENTICAL TO GOD THE FATHER. PHIL:2:6 WHO, BEING IN THE FORM OF GOD, THOUGHT IT NOT ROBBERY TO BE EQUAL WITH GOD. GOD CREATED JESUS A QUICKENING SPIRIT, A LIFE GIVING SPIRIT. 1COR:15:45 AND SO IT IS WRITTEN, THE FIRST MAN ADAM WAS MADE A LIVING SOUL; THE LAST ADAM WAS MADE A QUICKENING SPIRIT. GOD BY JESUS CHRIST CREATED ALL THINGS VISIBLE, AND INVISIBLE. EPH:3:9 AND TO MAKE ALL MEN SEE WHAT IS THE FELLOWSHIP OF THE MYSTERY, WHICH FROM THE BEGINNING OF THE WORLD HATH BEEN HID IN GOD, WHO CREATED ALL THINGS BY JESUS CHRIST. COL:1:15 WHO IS THE IMAGE OF THE INVISIBLE GOD, THE FIRSTBORN OF EVERY CREATURE: 16. 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. 17. AND HE IS BEFORE ALL THINGS, AND BY HIM ALL THINGS CONSIST. JESUS CHRIST IS THE ONLY GOD EVER FORMED, OR EVER SHALL BE FORMED. IS:43:10 YE ARE MY WITNESSES, SAITH THE LORD, AND MY SERVANT WHOM I HAVE CHOSEN: THAT YE MAY KNOW AND BELIEVE ME, AND UNDERSTAND THAT I AM HE: BEFORE ME THERE WAS NO GOD FORMED, NEITHER SHALL THERE BE AFTER ME. 11. I, EVEN I, AM THE LORD; AND BESIDE ME THERE IS NO SAVIOUR. NOTHING THAT CAN BE ADDED TO CREATION, NEITHER CAN ANYTHING BE TAKEN FROM CREATION. YOU HAVE BEEN CREATED, AND YOU WILL SPEND ETERNITY SOME WHERE. ECCL:3:14 I KNOW THAT, WHATSOEVER GOD DOETH, IT SHALL BE FOR EVER: NOTHING CAN BE PUT TO IT, NOR ANY THING TAKEN FROM IT: AND GOD DOETH IT, THAT MEN SHOULD FEAR BEFORE HIM. THE LORD JESUS CREATED AND BROUGHT FORTH THE SPIRIT OF WISDOM FROM THE BEGINNING. SHE WAS WITH THE LORD JESUS WHEN HE BEGIN CREATION. PRV:8:1 DOTH NOT WISDOM CRY? AND UNDERSTANDING PUT FORTH HER VOICE? 2. SHE STANDETH IN THE TOP OF HIGH PLACES, BY THE WAY IN THE PLACES OF THE PATHS. PRV8:19 THE LORD BY WISDOM HATH FOUNDED THE EARTH; BY UNDERSTANDING HATH HE ESTABLISHED THE HEAVENS. 22. THE LORD POSSESSED ME IN THE BEGINNING OF HIS WAY, BEFORE HIS WORKS OF OLD. 23. I WAS SET UP FROM EVERLASTING, FROM THE BEGINNING, OR EVER THE EARTH WAS. 24. WHEN THERE WERE NO DEPTHS, I WAS BROUGHT FORTH; WHEN THERE WERE NO FOUNTAINS ABOUNDING WITH WATER. 25. BEFORE THE MOUNTAINS WERE SETTLED, BEFORE THE HILLS WAS I BROUGHT FORTH. 26. WHILE AS YET HE HAD NOT MADE THE EARTH, NOR THE FIELDS, NOR THE HIGHEST PART OF THE DUST OF THE WORLD. 27. WHEN HE PREPARED THE HEAVENS, I WAS THERE: WHEN HE SET A COMPASS UPON THE FACE OF THE DEPTH: JESUS CHRIST REVEALED TO MOSES HOW ALL THINGS COME INTO EXISTANCE. JESUS SPOKE FACE TO FACE WITH MOSES AS A MAN SPEAKS TO HIS FRIEND. EX:33:11 AND THE LORD SPAKE UNTO MOSES FACE TO FACE AS A MAN SPEAKETH UNTO A FRIEND. HEB:11:3 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. THE LORD JESUS FROM THE FOUNDATION OF THE WORLD KNEW THAT ONE DAY HE WOULD SUFFER, BLEED, AND DIE ON CALVARY’S CROSS. RV:13:8 AND ALL THAT DWELL UPON THE EARTH SHALL WORSHIP HIM, (THE ANTICHRIST) WHOSE NAMES ARE NOT WRITTEN IN THE BOOK OF LIFE OF THE LAMB SLAIN FROM THE FOUNDATION OF THE WORLD. BEFORE THE FOUNDATION OF THE WORLD GOD KNEW US, HIS ADOPTED CHILDREN, THE ELECT, AND PREDESTINATION US, PLANNED IN LOVE FOR US; SO ALL THINGS WORK TOGETHER FOR OUR GOOD. EPH:1:4 ACCORDING AS HE HATH CHOSEN US IN HIM BEFORE THE FOUNDATION OF THE WORLD, THAT WE SHOULD BE HOLY AND WITHOUT BLAME BEFORE HIM IN LOVE. 5. HAVING PREDESTINATED US UNTO THE ADOPTION OF CHILDREN BY JESUS CHRIST TO HIMSELF, ACCORDING TO THE GOOD PLEASURE OF HIS WILL. IN A COURT OF LAW CIRCUMSTANTIAL EVIDENCE IS ALLOWED. FOR EXAMPLE, NOTICE HOW BEAUTIFULLY GOD DESIGNED MAN, AND WOMAN, THE SOLAR SYSTEM, THE BIRDS, THE ANIMALS, THE TREES, THE FISH, THESE THINGS DID NOT HAPPEN BY CHANCE. PS:33:6 BY THE WORD OF THE LORD, (JESUS), WERE THE HEAVENS MADE; AND ALL THE HOST OF THEM BY THE BREATH OF HIS MOUTH. 7. HE GATHERED THE WATERS OF THE SEA TOGETHER AS AN HEAP: HE LAYETH UP THE DEPTH IN STOREHOUSES. 8. LET ALL THE EARTH FEAR THE LORD: LET ALL THE INHABITANTS OF THE WORLD STAND IN AWE OF HIM. 9. FOR HE SPAKE, AND IT WAS DONE; HE COMMANDED, AND IT STOOD FAST. GOD CREATED HEAVEN AND EARTH AND ALL THAT IS IN THEM IN SIX DAYS. SOME HIGHLY EDUCATED MEN DO NOT BELIEVE THAT GOD CREATED HEAVEN AND EARTH IN SIX DAYS, OR 144 HOURS, AND RESTED THE SEVENTH DAY OR 24 HOURS. 1COR:2:14 BUT THE NATURAL MAN RECEIVETH NOT THE THINGS OF THE SPIRIT OF GOD; FOR THEY ARE FOOLISHNESS UNTO HIM: NEITHER CAN HE KNOW THEM, BECAUSE THEY ARE SPIRITUALLY DISCERNED. LET ME MENTION A FEW OF THOSE MEN AND WOMEN THAT DO NOT BELIEVE; THE ATHEIST, THE AGNOSTIC, THE SKEPTIC, THE DOUBTERS. FAITHLESS PEOPLE CANNOT BELIEVE SPIRITUAL THINGS WITHOUT SEEING. THE HOLY GHOST, THE SPIRIT THAT BRINGS LIFE TO THE SOUL, MUST BE RECEIVED BY FAITH THEREFORE THEY CANNOT RECEIVE THE HOLY GHOST, NOR CAN THEY RECEIVE SALVATION. JN:14:16 AND I WILL PRAY THE FATHER, AND HE SHALL GIVE YOU ANOTHER COMFORTER, THAT HE MAY ABIDE WITH YOU FOR EVER. 17. EVEN THE SPIRIT OF TRUTH: WHOM THE WORLD CANNOT RECEIVE, BECAUSE IT SEETH HIM NOT, NEITHER KNOWETH HIM: BUT YE KNOW HIM; FOR HE DWELLETH WITH YOU, AND SHALL BE IN YOU. HOW DID THE KNOWLEDGE OF CREATION COME INTO EXISTANCE? GOD GAVE MOSES A DAY BY DAY ACCOUNT OF CREATION AT THE TIME GOD GAVE MOSES THE LAW, WHICH IS KNOWN AS THE "LAW OF MOSES," GOD GAVE THE DETAILS OF CREATION TO MOSES AND MOSES’ RECORDED THE EVENTS IN THE BOOK OF GENESIS. IN THE BEGINNING THE EARTH WAS EMPTY, A FORMLESS MASS, CLOAKED IN DARKNESS. GOD SAID, "LET THERE BE LIGHT," AND THERE WAS LIGHT, AND GOD DIVIDED THE LIGHT FROM THE DARKNESS. GN:1:1 IN THE BEGINNING GOD CREATED THE HEAVEN AND THE EARTH. 2. AND THE EARTH WAS WITHOUT FORM, AND VOID; AND DARKNESS WAS UPON THE FACE OF THE DEEP. AND THE SPIRIT OF GOD MOVED UPON THE FACE OF THE WATERS. 3. AND GOD SAID, LET THERE BE LIGHT; AND THERE WAS LIGHT. 4. AND GOD SAW THE LIGHT, THAT IT WAS GOOD: AND GOD DIVIDED THE LIGHT FROM THE DARKNESS. 5. AND GOD CALLED THE LIGHT DAY, AND THE DARKNESS HE CALLED NIGHT. AND THE EVENING AND THE MORNING WERE THE FIRST DAY. GOD DIVIDED THE WATER THAT WAS IN THE FIRMAMENT, THE SKY, FROM THE WATER THAT WAS UNDER THE FIRMAMENT. AND GATHERED THE WATER UNDER THE FIRMAMENT INTO SEAS. GN:1:6 AND GOD SAID, LET THERE BE A FIRMAMENT, AND DIVIDED THE WATERS WHICH WERE UNDER THE FIRMAMENT FROM THE WATERS WHICH WERE ABOVE THE FIRMAMENT: AND IT WAS SO. 8. AND GOD CALLED THE FIRMAMENT HEAVEN. AND THE EVENING AND THE MORNING WERE THE SECOND DAY. GOD DIVIDED THE WATER FROM THE DRY LAND AND GATHERED THE WATER TOGETHER . THE DRY LAND GOD CALLED EARTH, AND THE WATER HE CALLED SEAS. GN:1:9 AND GOD SAID, LET THE WATERS UNDER THE HEAVEN BE GATHERED TOGETHER UNTO ONE PLACE, AND LET THE DRY LAND APPEAR: AND IT WAS SO. 10. AND GOD CALLED THE DRY LAND EARTH: AND THE GATHERING TOGETHER OF THE WATERS CALLED HE SEAS: AND GOD SAW THAT IT WAS GOOD. 11. AND GOD SAID, LET THE EARTH BRING FORTH GRASS, THE HERB YIELDING SEED, AND THE FRUIT TREE YIELDING FRUIT AFTER HIS KIND, WHOSE SEED IS IN ITSELF, UPON THE EARTH: AND IT WAS SO. GN:1:12 AND THE EARTH BROUGHT FORTH GRASS, AND HERB YIELDING SEED AFTER HIS KIND, AND THE TREE YIELDING FRUIT, WHOSE SEED WAS IN ITSELF, AFTER HIS KIND: AND GOD SAW THAT IT WAS GOOD. 13. AND THE EVENING AND THE MORNING WERE THE THIRD DAY. GOD CREATED THE SUN, THE MOON, AND THE STARS. GN:1:14 AND GOD SAID, LET THERE BE LIGHTS IN THE FIRMAMENT OF HEAVEN TO DIVIDE THE DAY FROM THE NIGHT; AND LET THEM BE FOR SIGNS, AND FOR SEASONS, AND FOR DAYS, AND YEARS: 15. AND LET THEM BE FOR LIGHTS IN THE FIRMAMENT OF THE OF HEAVEN TO GIVE LIGHT UPON THE EARTH: AND IT WAS SO. 16. AND GOD MADE TWO GREAT LIGHTS; THE GREATER LIGHT TO RULE THE DAY, AND THE LESSER LIGHT TO RULE THE NIGHT: HE MADE THE STARS ALSO. 17. AND GOD SET THEM IN THE FIRMAMENT OF THE HEAVEN TO GIVE LIGHT UPON THE EARTH, 18. AND TO RULE OVER THE DAY AND OVER THE NIGHT, AND TO DIVIDE THE LIGHT FROM THE DARKNESS: AND GOD SAW THAT IT WAS GOOD. 19. AND THE EVENING AND THE MORNING WERE THE FOURTH DAY. GOD CREATED THE FISH OF THE SEA, THE BIRDS OF THE AIR, AND WHALES. GN:1:20 AND GOD SAID, LET THE WATERS BRING FORTH ABUNDANTLY THE MOVING CREATURE THAT HATH LIFE, AND FOWL THAT MAY FLY ABOVE THE EARTH IN THE OPEN FIRMAMENT OF HEAVEN. 21. AND GOD CREATED GREAT WHALES, AND EVERY LIVING CREATURE THAT MOVETH WHICH THE WATERS BROUGHT FORTH ABUNDANTLY, AFTER THEIR KIND, AND EVERY WINGED FOWL AFTER HIS KIND: AND GOD SAW THAT IT WAS GOOD. 22. AND GOD BLESSED THEM, SAYING, BE FRUITFUL, AND MULTIPLY, AND FILL THE WATERS IN THE SEAS, AND LET FOWL MULTIPLY IN THE EARTH. 23. AND THE EVENING AND THE MORNING WERE THE FIFTH DAY. GOD CREATED CATTLE, CREEPING THINGS, BEAST AND GOD CREATED MAN, AND WOMAN. 26. AND GOD SAID, LET US MAKE MAN IN OUR IMAGE, AFTER OUR LIKENESS: AND LET THEM HAVE DOMINION OVER THE FISH OF THE SEA, AND OVER FOWL OF THE AIR, AND OVER THE CATTLE, AND OVER ALL THE EARTH, AND OVER EVERY CREEPING THING THAT CREEPETH UPON THE EARTH. 27. SO GOD CREATED MAN IN HIS OWN IMAGE, IN THE IMAGE OF GOD CREATED HE HIM MALE AND FEMALE CREATED HE THEM. 28. AND GOD BLESSED THEM, AND GOD SAID UNTO THEM, BE FRUITFUL, AND MULTIPLY, AND REPLENISH THE EATH, AND SUBDUE IT: AND HAVE DOMINION OVER THE FISH OF THE SEA, AND OVER THE FOWL OF THE AIR, AND OVER EVERY LIVING THING THAT MOVETH UPON THE EARTH. GN:2:21 AND THE LORD GOD CAUSED A DEEP SLEEP TO FALL UPON ADAM, AND HE SLEPT: AND HE TOOK ONE OF HIS RIBS, AND CLOSED UP THE FLESH INSTEAD THEREFO; 22. AND THE RIB, WHICH THE LORD GOD HAD TAKEN FROM MAN, MADE HE A WOMAN, AND BROUGHT HER UNTO THE MAN. MAY GOD BLESS YOU AND YOUR FAMILY WITH GOOD HEALTH, HAPPINESS, IN THE WORLD TO COME ETERNAL LIFE.
