  1. Creation WHY did God make us? Ami Duff Makenzie Garland

  2. How the World Came to be • Day 1: Light was created. God called the light Day and the darkness called Night. • Day 2: God separated the waters which were under the firmament from the waters which were above the firmament. He called the firmament Heaven. There was evening and there was morning. • Day 3: God let the dry land appear and it was called Earth and the water Seas. Then he brought forth vegetation, plants yielding seed, and fruit trees bearing fruit in which is their seed. • Day 4: God created the seasons, days, and years. He also made the sun, moon, and stars. • Day 5: God made living creatures and birds and said to be fruitful and multiply. • Day 6: God made the beasts of the earth according to their kinds and the cattle according their kinds, and everything that creeps on the ground according to its kind • Day 7: God had finished his work and therefore he rested and made it a holy day.

  3. Creation Story Vs. Genesis They distort peoples view of the creation and make people believe something that is untrue.

  4. The Seventh Day God created the world for six days.  He finished his work and therefore rested on the seventh day.  God blessed the seventh day and hallowed it, because on it God rested from all his work which he had done in creation.

  5. We are Created in the image of God • God is our father – We were created with the ability to have a loving relationship with God, our father. • We are like God – We have intelligence, free will, and the capacity to love. God made our nature unlike any other. • Human life possesses great sacredness – Every person is sacred because every person is created in God’s image. • Our work has special value – Our work has dignity because we bear the image of God.

  6. The Truths of Creation • The CCC says that the truths of creation is willed by God. It also says that man and woman are both with one and they have the same dignity.

  7. The Story of Spiritual Death • In the story of Spiritual Death they did not physically die, they lost supernatural life, original holiness, and original justice. Adam and Eve chose to love themselves more than God and ate the fruit from the tree.

  8. What is Protoevangelium • Protoevangelium is the announcement of a future Redeemer to Adam and Eve after their Fall. • Greek for "first Gospel."

  9. The effects of Original Sin • When we carry out Gods wish for us to "be fruitful," childbirth will be painful. • Our family life will still be an image of Gods love, but relationships will be marred by sin. • Work - which was designed to be a joy - will be toil; it will not always be fruitful, but may bring forth thorns and thistles. Labor will be carried out with difficulty, in sweat. • Even life itself will end in suffering. Physical death is inevitable.

  10. Creation vs. Evolution • We can believe what science teaches us as long as it does not go against what the church teaches. • It also tells us that God is the origin of the material which makes up the universe.
