This study looks closely at the Genesis account of Creation in Genesis, chapter one. Key Hebrew words are analyzed. Discussion is presented about some of the more popular views about Creation, such as the Big Bang Theory, the Theory of Evolution, the Gap Theory, the Age-Day Theory, and Pantheism. Key creation terms, such as Fiat Creationism, Progressive Creationism, and Theistic Evolution are defined. The role of the Second Law of Thermodynamics as it pertains to Creation is discussed. At the end of the commentary on the first chapter in Genesis, the creation and impacts of angels is briefly examined. The book concludes with God's Plan of Salvation.All three Persons of the Trinity were present at Creation. Genesis 1:2 confirms that the third Person of the Trinity, who is the Holy Spirit, was there. Colossians 1:16 confirms that the second Person of the Trinity was present. In talking about Jesus, that verse says, "For by him were all things created, that are in heaven, and that are in earth, visible and invisible, whether they be thrones, or dominions, or principalities, or powers: all things were created by him, and for him." Under the inspiration of the Holy Spirit, the Apostle Paul credited Jesus with being the Creator of the heaven and the earth.Much of today's scientific research is looking for ways to explain away the problems associated with both of science's two Creation theories. Even some theologians and Bible people have suggested that maybe God used a big bang and evolution to do His work. But those notions cannot be supported by facts or by valid scientific reasoning. Believing the Big Bang theory and the Theory of Evolution requires more faith than simply accepting the Genesis account of Creation.No one can fully understand the concept of an eternal God that does not measure time as we. No one can understand how God could simply speak things into existence. But I believe that He did exactly that. Backing up the scientific view are years of bad scientific reasoning, constantly changing theories, and even mistakes. Not too many centuries ago scientists thought the earth was flat. They once thought that the sun rotated around the earth. They even thought that the sky only contained about one-to-two thousand stars. Facts that back up the biblical account of Creation are a Bible that was only written once without revision that has a history of verbal, plenary inerrancy. While no one can prove absolutely what really happened, the biblical account of Creation as presented in the book of Genesis can be accepted as is more easily than anything that science can offer.This book has been written for the sheer joy of in depth Bible study. It is not exhaustive although it will probably be deep enough for the average Bible student.
