    The Earths History
    What does the Bible say about how the
    Earth came to exist?

    What does the secular world say?


    The Earths History
    Genesis 1 God created the universe and
    everything in it!

    How do we explain the apparent conflict in age


    of the world?
    Scientific evidence would say that its over 4 Billion
    years old
    The Bible tells us its between 6,000 and 15,000
    years old
    The Earths History
    Remember, when God created the world,
    He made a mature Earth.
    Trees were already grown, hills and
    mountains already existed, and animals
    were already in their adulthood
    Adam and Eve were created as adults, not
    infants.
    Creation
    When God created the Earth, He made it so that
    it was full of life and completely functional.
    It wasnt barren and without life.

    Uniformitarianism: people unwilling to


    recognize the presence and existence of a
    powerful Creator.
    The Flood
    According to the Bible, a huge flood
    occurred that resulted in water covering
    the entire surface of the planet.
    Genesis 6:5-8
    The Lord saw how great the wickedness of the
    human race had become on the earth, and that every
    inclination of the thoughts of the human heart was
    only evil all the time. The Lord regretted that he had
    made human beings on the earth, and his heart was
    deeply troubled. So the Lord said, I will wipe from
    the face of the earth the human race I have created
    and with them the animals, the birds and the
    creatures that move along the groundfor I regret that
    I have made them. But Noah found favor in the eyes
    of the Lord.
    Humankind was becoming increasingly
    corrupt and wicked; the Lord regretted
    creating humans.
    The Lord planned the flood to remove the
    human race from the world.
    But Noah was a godly man and God
    decided to save people through preserving
    Noah and his family.
    Noahs Ark
    God commanded Noah to build a boat
    (ark) and save 2 of every animal in the
    world so that life could continue after the
    flood.

    How long was Noah and his family on


    the ark?
    Impact of the Flood
    The flood had devastating effects on
    everything in the world.
    Life of all sorts was gone humans, plants
    and animals.
    The landscape shifted as soil and rocks were
    washed away and deposited in other areas.
    Impacts of the Flood
    The additional moisture in the air
    superheated the atmosphere, creating
    more clouds and humidity.
    This would have blocked out the sun,
    leading to the cooling of the atmosphere
    and an eventual ice age.
    Impacts of the Flood
    The surface of the earth would have become softened,
    which would lead to:
    sedimentary layers as the flood waters receded
    Rocks being folded and remolded
    Tectonic plate shifts and continental drift

    Eventually, the surface of the planet would re-harden to


    what we see today.
    Mount St. Helens

    This demonstrates how major events can
    quickly and dramatically impact the
    Earths surface.
