Two testimonies by Ph.D. experts on why they hold to Genesis 1&2
Hi all,
We are in our short summer series called 'In the Beginning' where we are examining, verse by verse Genesis 1-3. These first few weeks have had us looking at the creation of the universe, this earth and mankind as well as all the animals and life on this earth by God.
We hold to a belief that is put forth in a simple and straight forward manner by Genesis 1 & 2 and is affirmed by other sections of Scripture such as Exodus 20:11, 31:17, Psalm 104, Job 38-41, Matthew 19:4, Revelation 10:6, etc. that God created all that is simply by speaking it into existence and He did this in 6 literal, 24 hour days.
Well, so many today who hold to an evolutionary view attack and criticize creationists as being brain dead and not in touch with the facts, ignorant of science, etc. Because this demeaning attack is out there against those who would hold to a literal, 6 day, 24 hour day creation I wanted you to know that not only do your elder and staff leadership teams hold to this creationist view but we have many who are from the scientific field and also hold to this position.
i could have asked many but I chose to ask just two - Mark DeVries and Anita Woods who both hold Ph.D.'s in the molecular biology area (I can't even understand what their field of studies are as they are way beyond me) to write a brief reason why they believe Genesis 1&2 as it is written.
They both did not like the idea of keeping this to just 2-3 pages each as there is so much they have examined and are familiar with and perhaps one day i will ask them to write a more detailed explanation of why they believe in creationism but the are recognized expert scientists and experts and i thought you might like to hear from them.
So click
here for Mark's and
here for Anita's brief explanations. We offer this just as a way to help increase your confidence to stand for the clear teaching of Scripture in an increasingly hostile world.
