1. Creation
Damian Richmond

2. It was good... thus the heavens and earth were complete
Genesis
6 Days of creation Gen 1:1 – 31
It was good... thus the heavens and earth were complete
1 day of rest Gen 2:1 - 3

3. 9 Biblical theories Theistic evolution - creation/evolution mix
Gap theory – gaps in each of the days
Day age theory – day = age/era in Hebrew
Apparent age theory - Adam full grown so was everything else
Punctuated 24 hour theory – millions of years squeezed
Framework – unconcerned about actual chronology
Historical - Gen 1:1 everything already created, then prepared over 6 days
24 hours – 7 days are 7 days

4. Practical theology Science says there is no God
Bible says there is a God
Science reasons everything
Bible has both reason and faith
Science has no place for God “that’s theology”
God is in everything, science, politics, law, education

5. 7 Days of Creation

6. Eden - Fall of man

7. The world vs creationists
“No one created the universe and no one directs our fate. This leads me to a profound realisation that there probably is no heaven and no afterlife either. We have this one life to appreciate the grand design of the universe and for that I am extremely grateful”
“God may exist, but science can explain the universe without the need for a creator.”
Stephen Hawking

8. Jehovah Jehoshua Christos the Messiah Redeemer Saviour
The Great commission
18 Then Jesus came to them and said, “All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. 19 Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, 20 and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age.”
The creation story leads to a heaven and hell story that leads to Christ...
