We find many texts in the scriptures that show how God was the Creator..
“By the word of the LORD were the heavens made, their starry host by the breath of his mouth”, Psalms 33:6.
Creation is very clearly laid out especially in Genesis and we see it throuout the Bible. But man has come up with other ideas such as evolution rather than believe that God made things with just a word. Most every time you visit a state park, museum, or display of archeological evidence you are confronted with the question as you read, "Five hundred thousand years ago." or "one million years ago" or "Ten Million Years ago".
There are those who question whether understanding the Creation account as literal or non-literal, affects our understanding of Gods truth. And some Christians have taken a the middle of the fence view when it comes to Creation, and it can have grave consequences. Its Theistic evolution, the belief that God used processes of evolution to create, and it implies that God is bound to the laws of nature, and worse, at least believing “an account of origins at odds with the biblical record of history,” The exact definition is “Theistic evolution (also known as theistic evolutionism or God-guided evolution) is a theological view that God creates through laws of nature”.
The issue at heart is that theistic evolution would alter or modify key doctrines of the Bible. So are the words by writers intended as a literal historical account, as a non-literal reading must provide evidence of specific figurative indicators in the text. So lets look at Genesis 1 on Creation..
“1 In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth.2 And the earth was without form, and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters.3 And God said, Let there be light: and there was light.4 And God saw the light, that it was good: and God divided the light from the darkness.5 And God called the light Day, and the darkness he called Night. And the evening and the morning were the first day.”
God gave names to the dark and light portions of time, calling them “day” and “night.” And after the first day, God then went through six days of Creation as we see..
"6 And God said, Let there be a firmament in the midst of the waters, and let it divide the waters from the waters.7 And God made the firmament, and divided the waters which were under the firmament from the waters which were above the firmament: and it was so.8 And God called the firmament Heaven. And the evening and the morning were the second day."
"9 And God said, Let the waters under the heaven be gathered together unto one place, and let the dry land appear: and it was so.10 And God called the dry land Earth; and the gathering together of the waters called he Seas: and God saw that it was good.11 And God said, Let the earth bring forth grass, the herb yielding seed, and the fruit tree yielding fruit after his kind, whose seed is in itself, upon the earth: and it was so.12 And the earth brought forth grass, and herb yielding seed after his kind, and the tree yielding fruit, whose seed was in itself, after his kind: and God saw that it was good.13 And the evening and the morning were the third day."
"14 And God said, Let there be lights in the firmament of the heaven to divide the day from the night; and let them be for signs, and for seasons, and for days, and years:15 And let them be for lights in the firmament of the heaven to give light upon the earth: and it was so.16 And God made two great lights; the greater light to rule the day, and the lesser light to rule the night: he made the stars also.17 And God set them in the firmament of the heaven to give light upon the earth,18 And to rule over the day and over the night, and to divide the light from the darkness: and God saw that it was good.19 And the evening and the morning were the fourth day."
"20 And God said, Let the waters bring forth abundantly the moving creature that hath life, and fowl that may fly above the earth in the open firmament of heaven.21 And God created great whales, and every living creature that moveth, which the waters brought forth abundantly, after their kind, and every winged fowl after his kind: and God saw that it was good.22 And God blessed them, saying, Be fruitful, and multiply, and fill the waters in the seas, and let fowl multiply in the earth.23 And the evening and the morning were the fifth day."
"24 And God said, Let the earth bring forth the living creature after his kind, cattle, and creeping thing, and beast of the earth after his kind: and it was so. 25 And God made the beast of the earth after his kind, and cattle after their kind, and every thing that creepeth upon the earth after his kind: and God saw that it was good.26 And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth.27 So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them.28 And God blessed them, and God said unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth, and subdue it: and have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over every living thing that moveth upon the earth."
"29 And God said, Behold, I have given you every herb bearing seed, which is upon the face of all the earth, and every tree, in the which is the fruit of a tree yielding seed; to you it shall be for meat.30 And to every beast of the earth, and to every fowl of the air, and to every thing that creepeth upon the earth, wherein there is life, I have given every green herb for meat: and it was so.31 And God saw every thing that he had made, and, behold, it was very good. And the evening and the morning were the sixth day."
Well it is very clear that it was days and the weekly cycle was set up and Sabbath was given to us at creation as the seventh day of the week as we read in the Bible in Genesis.
Genesis 2
"1 Thus the heavens and the earth were finished, and all the host of them. 2 And on the seventh day God ended his work which he had made; and he rested on the seventh day from all his work which he had made. 3 And God blessed the seventh day, and sanctified it: because that in it he had rested from all his work which God created and made. 4 These are the generations of the heavens and of the earth when they were created, in the day that the Lord God made the earth and the heavens,"
God created our world in six literal 24-hour days, and rested on the seventh day and "blessed the seventh day, and sanctified it".
We find a second issue and that is Marriage, as if we evolved, there really is no marriage between man and woman under God. Its just kind of a get together between whatever they have evolved into thus it can be same sex or transferring in between sexes or utter confusion as we see happening.
