Creation Facts of Life (32 page)

It's a wonderful, wonderful story, full of love and meaning for each person on earth, and
what we see in God's world encourages us to trust the Bible as God's Word.
Then those wonderful promises can be ours,
guaranteed by the power of the Lord God, maker of heaven and earth,
the God of all people, all times, and all places. If God made us, we can trust Him to make us
anew!
Won't you choose to trust Him now?

The study of science offers
more
than science lessons. There are spiritual lessons as well.

1
The 4 Cs of biblical history can be expanded to 7 Cs by introducing
confusion
for the confusion of languages at Babel and/or
chill
for the Ice Age. For a college brochure in 1989, I used
creation, corruption, catastrophe, chill, confusion, Christ,
and
coming again
as the 7 Cs. Answers in Genesis uses
creation, corruption, catastrophe, confusion, Christ, Cross
, and
consummation
.
