How did God create the universe, earth, and Life?
In this soon-to-be-released book, Two Stage Biblical Creation is a refreshing “back-to-the Bible” approach to God’s creation of the heavens and the earth. Dr. Arnold digs through ten insightful creation theories, and starting from the Bible, he gathers their most Biblically supported claims into one solid, unified theory.
- Understand the ten major creation theories.
- Identify their Biblical insights.
- Join these insights into a consistent Biblical creation theory.
- Know more of our awesome Creator.
Luther said that Genesis 1 “contains things the most important, and at the same time the most obscure.” Only by delving deeply into the over one hundred Bible creation texts and then gathering the most Biblically supported claims of these theological giants who have gone before us, can we begin to understand these “most obscure” yet “most important” concepts of creation.
We would expect a correct creation theory to match both the Bible and the universe as it actually is. If we accept the universe as it actually is, then the universe yields at least three great lines of evidence that match the God of the Bible being our Creator.
- First, the Bible claims that the universe had a beginning.
- Second, eleven times the Bible says that God has been stretching out the heavens.
- And third, the Bible clearly teaches that God designed the universe with the end goal of human life on earth.
In 1929 Edwin Hubble discovered that the universe had a beginning and is expanding, just as the Bible said all along. Moreover, scientists have discovered that the universe is exceedingly fine tuned for human life on earth, many billions to one in its precise fine tuning.
That level of fine tuning essentially requires a precise design executed by a master Designer-Creator of immense intelligence. Scientific discoveries match the ancient claims of the Bible. This evidence demonstrates that the God of the Bible is the Creator of the universe.
The two stage Biblical creation theory matches both the Bible and the creation. The two stage Biblical creation theory welcomes this evidence that the God of the Bible is the Creator of the universe.
