Genesis Class - Week 1

The Book of Genesis teaches that God created the world in six days. How then do we respond to scientists, textbooks, and museums that tell us the universe is billions of years old? Today we begin a new study looking at both biblical and scientific evidence for a young earth, the importance of Noah’s flood, and how to talk with those who still favor evolution. In this opening talk, we...

• Look together at the opening verses of Genesis
• Consider an important prophecy about the last days in 2 Peter 3
• Discuss the purpose and format of this class
• See how even godly Christians differ on the topic
• Share an overview of geology that will provide a framework

After these opening comments, we watched the first 30 minutes of Is Genesis History? produced by Compass video and hosted by Del Tackett. You can watch this video on major streaming services or purchase on DVD or download. It is an excellent documentary on scientific evidence that supports the biblical record of history. Highly recommended for every Christian.
