and discussed various views of creation:1. Literal 6-day creation – must deal with the fossil account that indicates the earth is much older than 4000 years. Some explain this through the flood.
2. Evolution-
a. Major gaps in the fossil record.
b. No continuation of species progressing.
c. Mutations must tend to be positive which is contrary to evidence. Example – if left alone a hybrid rose will revert back to a wild rose.
d. Still doesn’t answer the question of where matter comes from.
e. Reduces the dignity of man.
3. Theistic Evolution – has the same problems as evolution.
4. Gap Theory – a gap in time between Genesis 1:1 and 1:3.
5. Progressive Creation – “There was morning and evening” refers to 6 days
of creation being over large periods of time.
6. Age Theory – God created in 6 days, but days mean age.
We had some interesting discussion around the discussion guide questions.
Before closing prayer, we watched "A Majestic God".
Then, quite a few "research and return" questions were asked related to Angels and the war in heaven:
1. When were angels cast down?
2. When were they created?
3. What exactly was it that Lucipher did to get kicked out of heaven?
4. What was/is the purpose of angels?
These are great questions. Let's see if we can figure it out during the week. Feel free to add your comments here.
