SERMON INTRODUCTION
We began a couple weeks
ago looking at the major peaks of events throughout scripture. Obviously, we
are looking through this in order, so naturally, we are beginning with creation.
Genesis 1:20-23
I.
CREATION
UP TO THIS POINT
a. Day 1 – 4,000 B.C. Genesis 1:1-5
i.
In the beginning God
creates the heavens (space & God’s Abode)
ii.
And the earth
(formless and empty covered in waters)
iii.
God then created
“light” and separated it from darkness
1.
I believe this is
where all Universal Natural Laws concerning all of creation were spoke into
existence
2.
Including gravity,
thermodynamics, aerodynamics, Boyle’s law, Ohm’s law, physics, quantum &
non-quantum laws, mathematical laws, etc…
iv.
I believe this because
“light” is a photon, a created thing, so it had to be created. Dividing it, or
separating it from darkness is a “law”, which is an “instruction” given by God
on how a created thing is to “act” and “react” to other things, i.e. darkness.
v.
Here we see the “first
day”, where I believe God, while speaking all of the laws into existence, spoke
what we call the 4th dimension, creating TIME. This truly is the
“beginning”
b. Day 2 – Genesis 1:6-8
i.
Now that there is a
creation (a place for God to create) and the heavens set into place (space for
all of creating, and the third heaven, God’s abode, where His throne is and a
place between His creation and where God is fully existent) having spoken all
of the laws into existence (setting the rules and parameters of all of
creation) God can now get to work on creating the things that will follow these
laws.
ii.
First, God separates
some of the waters that cover the earth placing it above the vault (LIT:
expanse, support) our sky
1. This is preparing for two things.
2. First, a perfect climate and greenhouse for all of
creation where there is a high oxygen content, plants and animals can grow
large, and all vegetation grows without much cultivation or work.
3. Secondly, preparing for the coming flood, where it
will take 40 days for this upper water to fall to earth to flood it.
iii.
The vault (support) at
this time I believe is C02
iv.
Why? Because tomorrow,
on day 3, God is going to create plants, trees, and vegetation, which need C02
to live
v.
This vault of C02
which will eventually be converted into oxygen from the trees, plants and
vegetation is called “sky” which is the first heaven.
c. Day 3 – Genesis 1:9-13
i.
God then sculpts the
earth, raising dry land and gathering waters into lakes and seas.
ii.
God then creates the
trees, plants, and vegetation.
1.
Each producing fruit
or seeds “after their own kind”
2.
This statement debunks
macro-evolution…no species or plant will create anything other than a variation
of its own species.
3.
i.e. a cat will always
create a cat, never a dog
d. Day 4 – Genesis 1:14-19
i.
As the vegetation
processes the C02 from the vault (sky) through the Universal Natural Law of
photosynthesis, God begins filling creation
ii.
First setting the sun
and moon into place and setting them into the proper movements to serve as
“signs” to mark “sacred times”
1.
I believe the sacred
times mentioned here is another foreshadowing of the coming “holy” days God
will set into place in the future as recorded in Leviticus.
2.
All of these “holy”
days are sacred because they point to Christ Jesus
iii.
They are also used to mark
the days and years so God could establish a calendar for man to track the
passing of time and mark “when” in time the sacred events were to take place.
iv.
The greater and lesser
lights (Sun and Moon) also regulate the temperature of the earth, rotation,
orbit, as well as cycle the waters and air through the pull of the moon on
tides.
v.
All of these things
are necessary for life on earth
II.
THE
IMPORTANCE AND SCIENCE OF THE ORDER
a. It could not have been created in any other
order
i.
It is important we recognize
the science of the creation week in Genesis
ii.
God placed cues within
the Word so that future mankind would recognize the science and know that this
knowledge could not have been known by a man at the time this Word was writ
iii.
Things like the fact
that life could not exist on earth without the moon, and we see God placed it BEFORE
creating man!
iv.
Vegetation would not
exist without sunlight on earth, or insects to pollinate them, so the creation
days have to be literal days, or all God created on the previous days would
have died
b. Archaic man had no way of knowing this
i.
So, it must be as the
Word claims, all of scripture is “God-breathed”, Holy Spirit inspired
ii.
There is no explanation for all of the writers of the Holy Bible to get so much correct
about things that were not discovered for, in some cases, thousands and
thousands of years after they were written!
iii.
Job 26:7 says God hangs the earth upon nothing…
1.
Science didn’t
understand or discover the earth “hung” upon nothing in space until 1650 AD
iv.
Isaiah
40:22 talks about the earth being
round.
1.
Isaiah was written at
least 300 years before Aristotle suggested it a possibility, and it would be
2,000 years after that before Christopher Columbus would finally sail around
the world proving it.
v.
There are literally
100’s of examples of scientific truths God placed in his Word for those who may
later doubt its authenticity.
vi.
Ray Comfort has a book
that only costs a few bucks called Scientific Facts in the Bible, get it.
c. This is evidence that the Bible is the Word of
the Living God
i.
Only the knowledge of
God, through the inspiration of the Holy Spirit, could give men the
foreknowledge of so many scientific facts, revealed long before they were ever
discovered!
III.
DAY FIVE
– FILLING THE WATERS AND SKY
a. God fills the waters and sky with creatures
i.
Now that God has
created the heavens and earth, separated the waters with C02 to feed the next
days creation of vegetation, raised dry land to create trees and plants to
convert the C02 into oxygen, set the Sun and moon into motion to regulate the
temperature and through gravitational pull regulate the seas and airflow, the
earth is prepared for creatures.
ii.
Notice, God did not
create the sea creatures before the moons gravitation control of tides to
regulate the seas!
iii.
Nor did He create the birds
before the winds which are caused by the heating and cooling of the air by the
cycles of the sun and moon!
iv.
Everything in the
proper order!
v.
Today, day 5, God
fills the waters and air with life!
b. “According to their kind”
i.
In both cases, sea
creatures and birds of the air, God spoke a limit on them, they will only
create their own kind.
ii.
This debunks evolution
on a grand scale and sets limits that only allows creatures to create variants
of themselves, but never “new” creations, or evolve into a different species.
iii.
I believe God set
these limits to prevent man’s “vain imaginations” from making up stories of how
everything came from nothing and evolved into everything. How we started off as
space dust which created everything and slime from a meteor from space crashed
on earth creating a primordial soup that ALL life on earth evolved from.
1.
Besides the fact that
if this were true, there should be literally BILLIONS if not TRILLIONS of transitional
species, we have NEVER found a single one.
2.
All we have ever found
is evidence of micro-evolution, where species may “evolve” through natural
selection or influence from outside influences, variances of their species.
3.
A dog will always be a
dog, no matter how thick their fur may eventually evolve into to survive
harsher climates, which would kill off dogs with thinner fur.
iv.
This limit exists as
another of God’s signature on His creation.
v.
It is ONLY allowed to
do when He set it out to do!
vi.
Nothing new is being
created (Genesis
2:1 “Therefore, the heavens and
the earth were completed in all their vast array.” As well as the first law of thermodynamics, matter
cannot be “created” nor “destroyed”)
c. God blessed them
i.
The blessing here is
the ability to “create” on a smaller scale
ii.
Through procreation
the creatures of the sea and air were blessed with the ability to make
offspring “of their own kind”
iii.
They were told to fill
the sea and the air
iv.
And this was the 5th
day
CONCLUSION –
God has spent the last five days preparing the earth for His final, and
greatest creation, a creation that will be in His own image.
Man could NOT exist on earth without the proper temperature and
regulation of the air and waters through tides, which are all controlled
(ruled/governed by) the Sun and Moon set into motion on day 4.
Nor could man exist on earth without oxygen, which is created through photosynthesis
by the plants and trees created on Day 3.
Those plants and trees could not process through photosynthesis, nor the
sun and moon stay in orbit using gravity to push and pull the tides without the
Universal Natural Laws spoke into existence on Day 1.
Each day was set by God in the order needed to produce the creation He
wanted.
Scientifically necessary to be set in the order they were, yet archaic
man had no knowledge of these scientific facts.
I believe this is God’s signature within the Word, and why He places this
evidence within the Creation week, the beginning of everything, telling all of
us that none of creation was a mistake, but a perfect plan set into motion by
God, who has orchestrated it all so that we may be in a relationship with the
Creator through the sacrifice and debt paid by Jesus Christ, renewing our
relationship with God the Father through the power of the Holy Spirit.
Next week we will begin our series with the sixth Day
