After 40 years as an Information Scientist, I became interested in Creation Science and realized that for me, this fundamental doctrine was taken for granted and largely not considered as important. To many of us, creation and the flood are fascinating childrens Bible stories that we dont think too much about as mature Christians. Here I  share VITAL knowledge concerning Creation and why we MUST defend it .

I am a young-earth, 6-day creation scientist.

Creation Model 
 
God Defined the Week

The majority of our calendar is based on astronomical events. The day is the length of time it takes for the earth to resolve once on its axis. The month is the length of time required for the moon to orbit that Earth. And the years is based on the how long it takes for the Earth to orbit the Earth. In contrast, the week is not based on any astronomical event, but rather the creation as described in the Bible.

God states that the creation took place during seven ordinary days. In Exodus 20:11: when God inscribes the 10 Commandments on tablets of stone for Moses He says: "For in six days the LORD made the heavens and the earth, the sea, and all that is in them, but he rested on the seventh day. Therefore the LORD blessed the Sabbath day and made it holy."

It is from the creation week and the day of rest that God proclaimed, that we get our 7-day work week. God defined the creation time periods as "days", and likewise instructed us to rest after 6 days as He did.

Historical Use of "Day"

Further support lies with how the word "Day" is used elsewhere in scripture. In every instance where a day is described in theBible using this terminology outside of Genesis, it always means an ordinary day.

 

Uses of "Day" Outside of Genesis
  • "Day" plus a Number is used 410 times (in plural or singular), and always means an ordinary day.
  • "Evening and Morning" together without "Day" is used 28 times, and always means an ordinary day.
  • "Evening" or "Morning" with "Day" is used 23 times, and always means an ordinary day.
  • "Night" with "Day" is used 52 times, and always means an ordinary day.
 

 
Dear Friends:

Winning Our Children

ProGenesis is an outreach to young people who are influenced daily to accept evolutionary thinking.  Our mission is to create a traveling display that creates the opportunity to present creation a weekend event meant to present the gospel to school-age children.  In order to do this, the centerpiece will be Dinosaurs and fossils in a "hands-on" display.  Thiswill be the main draw.  We have already purchased more than 20 fossils.

 

The main purpose of the ministry, however, will be to enable churches to schedule the display and to invite neighborhood parents and children to see the fossils and learn about the SCIENTIFIC support for intelligent design and the Creator.  Three programs will be offered.  One program will be for kids up to 8 years old, another for kids from 9-15 and finally an in-depth adult seminar. 

 

To accomplish this ProGenesis has invested in many museum quality replicas and actual fossils that most kids love to see and handle.  Beside the fossils, he also brings his pet Macaw named Mookie to youth groups.  He uses the bird to illustrate why design had to be involved with God's creation.  Mookie loves children and the kids love to hold and pet the large bird.

 

Once the program is complete we will replicate it in various areas throughout the country.
