The Universe was created in six literal days [see especially Exodus 20:11 which is part of the Ten Commandments written by God Himself: “For in six days the LORD made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that is in them, and rested the seventh day.” (ESV) In Hebrew, when the plural of day, yammim, is used with a numeral, it has no alternative meaning besides literal, twenty-four hour days.].

Creation, as determined by a reckoning of the recorded genealogies and time periods recorded in Scripture, took place about 6000 years ago. Though “scholars” have tried to find different ways to insert vast eras of time into the Bible (between verses, or by stretching “days”), no scholar has ever used the Biblical text to “date” the earth at 4.6 billion years of time. The word “billion” is found nowhere within Scripture. The genealogies of Scripture leave no room for millions, let alone billions of years of time. From the creation of Adam until the Flood of Noah, there were 1656 years.

God used a global flood to destroy all air-breathing life on earth about 4,500 years ago, except for Noah and his family (8 people in all) and the animals with him on the ark.



The entire fossil record is a remnant of this event and not millions of years of time or of separate events. It does not in any way represent an evolutionary process, it demonstrates the action of water and different ecological environments.

Man was created as intelligent and perfect being to commune with the Creator, not as a “primitive” caveman. Man’s choice to disobey God not only lead to the death of men and animals, but to the deterioration of the Universe. [Genesis 2:17, Romans 5:12-13.]

There are not separate Creation events recorded in Scripture. Dinosaurs were created at the same time as mankind, and intended to live harmoniously with people. Genesis 1:29-30 records that men and animals were not created nor intended as carnivores. Carnivorousness began in the post-Flood environment and the animals with Noah on the Ark did not function in the capacity of carnivores. [Genesis 9:2-3. See also book chapter on “the Scriptural Advent of Animal Carnivory.”]

All of Scripture is not just eyewitness accounts, but “God-breathed,” or inspired and directed by the Holy Spirit to be His story as well as history. [II Timothy 3:16-17: “All Scripture is breathed out by God and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, and for training in righteousness, that the man of God may be competent, equipped for every good work.”]

All air-breathing land animals—including those now called “dinosaurs”—were taken with Noah on the Ark. Dinosaurs survived the Flood, and though some appear to have become extinct, many survived into fairly recent historical times (thus some of the “legends” and myths of men encountering dragons), and some may still be around in the remote jungles of the world. [see next website page on dinosaurs, as well as book chapter on “Dating a Dinosaur.”]

Though Moses may have compiled the first five books of the Old Testament, he used the original texts of the eyewitness accounts that preceded him. The title of Genesis (Greek geneseos) actually comes from a signature insertion that is utilized eleven times in the early chapters of Genesis. In the KJV, the word geneseos was poorly translated “generations” (these are the generations of Adam) because following Genesis 5:1 were listed the genealogies of those who followed Adam. However, such a rendering makes little sense in other places, especially in Genesis 2:4 where there are no genealogies whatsoever. The translation of Genesis 5:1 should read, “This is the written account of Adam (or the book that Adam wrote).” It should attach to the preceding section, and it is essentially the signature of Adam at the end of his written account. The previous occurrence of geneseos is found in Genesis 2:4, and it is the only place where no name is associated with the “signature” of the author. Genesis 2:4 is rendered: “This is the account of the heavens and the earth when they were created.” [NIV] This verse is the signature of the Nameless One who created the universe at the end of His written account of the Creation of the heavens and the earth. That not only makes it the most important account in all of Scripture, but the foundation upon which everything that follows is built. [see book chapter on “The Biblical Account of Creation”]
