New World Creationism

Improved Essays
I believe in new world creationism, or that God created the world and everything in it in six literal days. Before time began, God was there. He created everything that ever existed. When he spoke, there was light, sky, dry land, plants, stars, the moon, fish, birds, animals and mankind. "And God saw everything that he had made, and behold, it was very good" (Genesis 1:31) God is a creative God and everything that he made, from clouds to a tiny lizard was, and is, art.

I believe that God created the world just like the Bible says because God's way is the best way and other views don't put any importance on life. I grew up in a Christian home and I've gone to a Christian school all my life, so I have had a lot of Christian influences and I think that's one of the reasons I believe what I believe. In Genesis 1 God speaks the world into existence, making everything in the natural world, just as we see things today, in 6 days and it was good. God made us to glorify him, and even after we disobeyed him, he still wanted us to be with him and to have a connection with us. So Jesus died on the cross so that we wouldn't have to suffer eternally. When God cares for

I think this is why so many people look for a different explanation for how the world is here, so they don't have to turn to Christianity. There are so many world views claiming that life came from a series of natural events that some how resulted in life, but you have to wonder: Where did these natural events come from? All the huge storms and other natural phenomena today have a science behind them, yet scientists haven't been able to come up with a science behind the big bang. They say it just happened. Even if the big bang had happened it had to have come from somewhere. It had to come from a intelligent designer, and the only logical designer would be

    Albert M. Wolters’ novel, Creation Regained, is a book on the basics of the Christian worldview and Christian education. This book is divided into five different chapters; What is a Worldview? , Creation, Fall, Redemption, and Discerning Structure and Direction. The first chapter covers the basics of what a worldview is and Wolters defines worldview as “the comprehensive framework of one’s basic beliefs about thing” (2). In the book, Wolters says there are four elements to this definition of worldview which are “things” are anything that someone have a belief about, a worldviews is only a matter of a person’s beliefs, worldviews have to do with only the basic beliefs about things, and that a person 's basic beliefs shape them into who they are (2,3).…

    When the first civilization had walked on earth, they may have been brought to every circumstance that life on earth had to offer them. As people of science found proofs of these, people of faith continuously thrive to explain and reason out why. Ancient creatures fought for their survival and most of them didn 't. But when humans made it through, our evolution and existence shaped the world to what it is today. The Code of Hammurabi, the laws that shaped early civilization in the Middle East and originated in Babylonia, has proven itself as a revolutionary moment which provided the “moral standards” and thrived on the equality sense of people back then. As it was claimed by King Hammurabi, the rules given by the sun god, it gave him power to rule and establish a society with the first “norms” in human history.…

    I don’t have much personal experience with this subject, but when I was younger, I was taught this. I didn’t take it in for a second, because I was raised in a Christian home, and I was taught that God created the world in six days. God did not create this world using evolution, because if He did, then He would be a God who doesn’t know how to get things right first time, and He would’ve been a cruel, evil God. My God gets things right the first time, and He is not cruel or evil. He is a loving, holy, but a just God.…

    This last weekend, I had the opportunity to interview my brother, who is under 25, and my mother, who is over 25: my brother is 20 years old and my mother is 48 years old. I asked them four simple questions on the Old Testament and they each gave me their own opinions. Each question addressed a different aspect of the Old Testament: creation, historical stories, scriptures’ relevance to today, and the Ten Commandments. The first question I asked each of my interviewees was, “Do you think the Bible’s account of how people and the world was created is correct… or, is a more modern-day explanation, like Darwin’s evolution theory, more credible and believable?” My brother answered by stating, “Obviously, the Bible’s account of how God created the universe is right because there is no other way.…
