Lesson 1 – Creation part 1Genesis 1 – 2:3
1.
 
How did the earth come into existence?
God created it.Gen 1:1 In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth.When we take a literal approach to Genesis, this answer is simple, even in-your-face. However it is not one that is taken for granted in today’s culture. Our schools are teaching that matter evolved over billions of years. Teachers scoff at those who would make this simple claim that when Genesis says that “God created” that indeed God created. So the question here becomesone of worldview, or of faith. EVERYONE must place their faith somewhere. I would contend that it takes just as much faith to believe that there was an eternally existent matter that one dayexploded and ended up with what we see on earth, as it takes to believe that the Bible is true and that when it says that God created the earth that it is reasonable to believe that God created the earth. So the question here is where is your faith? Are you choosing to place your faith in science, which by the way changes every once in a while and comes up with yet another newexplanation? Or are you choosing to place your faith in the unchanging, eternal God presented in the Bible? The answer to that question will lay the foundation for how you understand everything in life.

How did God create the earth?
 He spoke it into existence.Gen 1:
 
3 Then God said, "Let there be light"; and there was light.Gen 1:6 Then God said, “Let there be a firmament…” Thus God made the firmament Gen 1:9 Then God said “Let the waters under the heavens be gathered together into one place…” and it was soGen 1:11 Then God said, “Let the earth bring forth grass …” and it was so.Gen 1:14 Then God said, “Let there be lights in the firmament …” and it was so.Gen 1:20 Then God said, “Let the waters abound with an abundance of living creatures, and let birds fly above the earth…” So God created …Gen 1:24 Then God said, “Let the earth bring forth the living creature according to its kind …”and it was so.Gen 1:26 Then God said, “Let us make man in Our image…” So God created man in His ownimage [though this one is expanded later and action is added to the words spoken to form manout of the dust of the earth, and to form woman from the rib of a man, as we’ll see in chapter 2.There is also a possibility that an action was added for the animals too and that they too were  formed out of the ground.]  I think that it is fascinating that God recorded the detail that the creation was made by a simple word of his mouth. He didn’t need to take matter and create out of that matter. He spoke and
