"We are clearly told in the book of Genesis that God created the
heavens and the earth in a very short sequence of time, six literal
days.
The Hebrew text is grammatically put together using a specific
verbal construct called a waw consecutive that defines historical narrative.
Each individual day (yôm) is further defined by the nouns evening (‘ereb) and morning (bôqer) and an ordinal number (e.g., the sixth day, yôm hašiššîy [Genesis 1:31]).
If this weren’t clear enough, the six-day creation is affirmed twice in Exodus: “For in six days the LORD (Yahweh) made the heavens and the earth” (20:11, 31:17).
Furthermore, we are told in these verses and also in Genesis 2:2 that God rested on the seventh day, which Hebrews 4:4
cites in the New Testament: “And God rested on the seventh day from all
His works.”
This is where we get our seven-day calendar week, the only
demarcation of time not built on a solar or lunar cycle.
--In contrast to the Scriptures, evolutionists would like us to believe
that the universe somehow exploded into existence and then
self-assembled itself through random, chance processes into galaxies,
solar systems, stars, and planets. Then the essential information-rich
biomolecules for life mysteriously popped into existence on Earth and
self-assembled into a fully replicating cell.
--This initial cell line then supposedly evolved through random mutation
“acted on” by a mystical agent called natural selection into the
plethora of plants and animals we see in the fossil and living records.
And of course, there’s no observable natural process to account for any
of this materialistic speculation. In both the fossil and living
records, we see creatures fully formed in their various kinds without
any evidence of biological evolution whatsoever (e.g., transitional
forms).
Thus, the obvious implication from the incredible engineering of our
solar system, the earth, and all the living systems it contains is that
an all-powerful and all-knowing Creator brought them into existence, and
the book of Genesis is the only coherent and systematic account of
this." ICR
