Below are some simple instructions on how to use this template:
1. You can change the text in the graphical screen above or in the outline area to the left. 2. There is one default background that is indicated by “ ” .This slide acts as a space or a blank screen, use to clear or blank the screen. If you have a large graphic such as a map you could also use this screen. If you insert a new slide you will get this default background.
3. The first five slides have the other backgrounds for the set. To use more than one of these background types in your presentation highlight the one you wish to use and choose copy from the edit menu. Paste this slide where you want it to appear in your presentation, then change the text on this new slide. By copy/pasting the slide in this manor you will keep the background, text formatting and the customized animation from that slide. By using the copy/paste method you find it saves you time and keeps a consistent look through out your presentation.
4.There are a few additional notes written in the slide text wording that may be helpful.
Note: We are working on a website that in the future will provide help topics on using sermon outlines in PowerPoint as well as provide sermon templates similar to this one. Check for more information.

2. The Book of Proverbs Chapter 3 Prov 3:19-20 Creation vs. Evolution

3. I. Introduction. Genesis 1 gives the account of God’s Creative Act.

4. Definition of Evolution: It is the change in the inherited characteristics of biological populations over successive generations.

6. Darwin’s original notebook sketch, 1837, that lead to his theory of evolution published in the book, “On the Origin of Species”, 1859.

Notice

8. Darwin’s evolution said, life on earth originated and then evolved from a universal common ancestor approximately 3.8 billion years ago; today 4.8 billion years ago.

10. II. The Theories of Evolution.

11. 1. Naturalistic / Atheistic: By “natural selection” and the “survival of the fittest” the varied forms of living things came to be what they are as a result of fortuitous arrangement.

12. 2. Theistic Evolution: The Genesis record of the six days of creation has been reinterpreted in terms of the evolutionary ages of historical geology.

13. III. The Blending of Evolution and Creation.

14. 1. “Pure Theistic.” God is the original cause, of creation while allowing an evolutionary process as the method to develop man from the original cell He had created.

15. 2. “Progressive Creation
2. “Progressive Creation.” Same as above, plus, God injected occasional acts of creation at critical points in the geological ages.

16. 3. “Day Age Theory.” The “days” of creation are interpreted figuratively as the “ages” of geology.

18. God states clearly throughout the Bible that His Being is the sole source of all things and the precise method He employed. Cf. Gen 1-2, with Mat 19:4; Rom 5:12-19; 1 Cor 15:45-49; 1 Tim 2:13

19. Three essential areas which evolution can not solve:

20. Three essential areas which evolution can not solve: 1
Three essential areas which evolution can not solve: 1. It cannot bridge the gap from nothing to something.

21. Three essential areas which evolution can not solve: 1
Three essential areas which evolution can not solve: 1. It cannot bridge the gap from nothing to something. 2. It cannot bridge the gap from something to life.

22. Three essential areas which evolution can not solve: 3
Three essential areas which evolution can not solve: 3. It cannot bridge the gap between life and humanity-that is self-conscious human life with a volition.

23. IV. Contradictions between evolution and the Bible doctrine of creation:

24. 1. Evolution is a major doctrine of unbelievers
1. Evolution is a major doctrine of unbelievers. Creation is a fundamental proof of God. Gen 1:1; Psa 19:1; Jer 10:12; Acts 17:24; Heb 1:10; Rom 1:20

25. 2. Biblical creation teaches that God was directly and personally involved in each step of creation, Neh 9:6.

26. Neh 9:6, “You alone are the LORD
Neh 9:6, “You alone are the LORD. You have made the heavens, the heaven of heavens with all their host, the earth and all that is on it, the seas and all that is in them. You give life to all of them and the heavenly host bows down before You.”

27. Genesis 1 shows that God personally and directly commanded and caused each step in creation. He spoke and it occurred, etc.

28. In Genesis 2 He formed man, vs. 7, put him in a garden, vs
In Genesis 2 He formed man, vs. 7, put him in a garden, vs. 15, gave him instructions, vs. 16f, brought animals for him to name, vs.19f, and created woman from his side, vs

29. Further, by God’s direct involvement, all kinds of plants and animals were created from the very beginning. Gen 1:11f, 20f, 24f

30. God did not make just one or a few simple kinds and then allow natural selection and processes to take over to gradually produce the other kinds. He personally spoke into existence all the different kinds.

31. Psa 33:6, 9, “By the word of the Lord the heavens were made, and by the breath of His mouth all their host… 9For He spoke, and it was done; He commanded, and it stood fast.”

32. John 1:1-3, “3All things came into being through Him, and apart from Him nothing came into being that has come into being.”

33. 2 Peter 3:5, “For when they maintain this, it escapes their notice, that by the word of God the heavens existed long ago and the earth was formed out of water and by water.”

34. Communion

35. Grace Offering Heb 13:15, “Through Him then, let us continually offer up a sacrifice of praise to God, that is, the fruit of lips that give thanks to His name. And do not neglect doing good and sharing, for with such sacrifices God is pleased.”
