God created human being in His image: it means only human being possesses all the attributes of God. By taking some attributes God created the animal; and then by taking even more attributes He created the plants, the minerals and the atoms.

1. A New Theory
of Creation

2. Each culture and each religion has a story about the Creation explaining how the
universe and human beings came to exist.
In most of these stories the world is brought into being by the word, dream, breath, or
pure thought of a Creator.
One of these stories is narrated in the first chapter of the Bible (Genesis 1: 1-35). It
states that the Creation of the Universe and Human beings was completed in 6 days.
The study of fossils coming from various strata of soil shows that it took millions of
years between the appearance of the first microscopic bacteria and the appearance of
the first mammals.
This suggests that the Creation was not completed in 6 days as stated in the Bible.
Many Christians hold the Bible very dearly and as a result refute the facts brought by
the study of fossils.
This has created a big gap and confrontation between religion and science.
A Creator

3. The chart shows that the findings of present-day
Science matches the description of the Bible.
The Bible says “There was an evening and there
was a morning.” Between the evening and the
morning there is a period of time: the night. This
indicates that there is a time period between the
moment God gave the order and the time it is
accomplished. It is not instantaneous.
The one day period of the Bible could very well
be said to be an era. It doesn’t have to be taken
literally.
Likewise, the 6 Days of the Creation can be
understood as corresponding to 6 eras of
development.
6 Days = 6 Eras

4. “Unification Thought” is the name of the
extensive work and research done by Dr. Sang-
Hun Lee under the direction of Rev. Sun Myung
Moon
The New Theory of Creation exposed here is a
part of the “Unification Thought” and was
published in Japan in 1997, under the title “From
Evolution Theory to a New Creation Theory”
A copy of this book can be seen on Slideshare at
this address: www.slideshare.net/taupier/from-
theory-of-evolution-to-a-new-theory-of-creation
In the next slides, when we speak of Unification
Thought it refers to this published book.
Unification Thought

5. According to Unification Thought:
“One has to recognize that, in order for a species to undergo
change in shape and function to such an extent that it becomes
an altogether different species, some creative input must be
applied to it” It means it requires an input of new information .”
“When a new species is created, God's power works to bring
about an abrupt change. In such an occasion, God causes an
abrupt change according to His plan (Logos).
How is that carried out? In biological terms, this matter relates
to the rearrangement of the genetic code, or to a change in the
program of the genetic code.”
“At any rate, a clarification of how God has rearranged genes
and changed programs in organisms is a problem to be solved in
the future, but the day will come when this question will be
clarified through the results of scientific research.”
The rearrangement of the genetic code was directly guided by
the Creator. It didn’t happen at random.
Creation Through Guided Mutations

Theory of Evolution:

and-its-flaws

6. Unification Thought also states:
“Creation took place, not in a
continuous way, but in stages.
Creation took place in the
following way: God's power
worked, whereby a certain
species was created. After a
certain period of time, which
could be called a growth or
preparation period passed, God's
power worked, whereby a new
species was created. We call this
process "creation by stages."
Creation By Stages

7. Then God said,
"Let Us make man in Our image, according to Our likeness” (Gen 1:26)
“God created man in His own image, in the image of God He created him;
male and female He created them” (Gen 1:27)
According to Unification Thought, the human being is an image-like substantial
object of God, and all things are symbolic substantial objects of God. In other
words, God’s nature is fully and totally expressed in human beings only.
Animals and all other things of the Creation don’t express all the characteristics of
God’s nature. Plants and amoebas express very few characters of man; animals
express more characters of human beings than plants and amoebas.
To put it another way, human beings have been created in the likeness of God,
and the rest of creation has been created in the likeness of human beings.
This is called "creation in likeness."
Man Created in the Image of His Cfreator, God

8. Man is the End Goal of Creation
The Creator started the
Creation by creating organic
matter and the smallest
bacteria. Throughout the
process of Creation, the idea
of the Creator was to create a
viable nest and environment
for Human Beings.
In this sense, all creation and
all creatures were created for
the sake of man and exist to
serve man. On the other
hand, man was created to
serve and care for all of
Creation and return joy to the
Creator.
Living beings are fit for their own existence, but at the same time
they exist for the sake of higher beings; especially humans.
Sungsang and Hyungsang are Korean words.
Sungsang purpose = internal purpose
Hyungsang purpose = external purpose

9. The limbs of mammals are similar because they were all made in the
image of man’s limbs

10. The theory of recapitulation
states that the similarity of
animal embryos proves that
we are all descendants of a
common ancestor: the fish.
However, animal embryos
are similar because they are
in the image and likeness of
human embryos, not
because they all came from
a fish as the common
ancestor.
Animal Embryos Created in the Image
of Human Embryos

11. In this way, the examples cited as evidence for evolution
(similarity of limbs and similarity of embryos) are instead what
proves creation in likeness, centered on the human being.
The human being looks like an ape, not because humans evolved
from the ape, but rather because the ape was created in the
likeness of human beings.
The Ape was Created in the Image of Man

12. Unification Thought explains that joy comes from a relationship between a subject
and object. An individual alone cannot experience joy.

The Purpose of Creation is Joy

13. “The words "love" and "ideal" are without meaning when one is alone. Love demands
someone to love and someone to be loved by. Hope or any ideal needs to be shared with
someone. Love and ideals have meaning only when a reciprocal and complementary
relationship of give and take has been established. You may try to be happy by yourself,
try to be joyful, try to be loving. But you can never attain these things when you are
alone. This is a universal truth.
It even applies to Almighty God. As long as God remains alone, even He cannot fulfill
these goals by Himself. Even Almighty God Himself needs someone to be in the
position of an object to Him, someone to love and to be loved by.
The fulfillment of these goals can only be realized when a subject finds an object, and
they unite in a reciprocal relationship of give and take, stimulating and complementing
each other.”
Excerpt from “Day of Hope Banquet”, Rev. Sun Myung Moon’s speech in New York,
September 17, 1974.
The Purpose of Creation is Joy

14. “No matter how great, how absolute, and how all-knowing and all-powerful God may be, He cannot be
happy alone.
The words “happiness” and “it is good” make no sense when you are alone. You can say that it is good, or
that you are happy only when you are in a relationship with a partner. Is there anyone who says he is
happy when he is alone? No matter how
all-knowing and almighty God may be, He is not happy when He is alone. Let us say a good singer sings a
song all by himself. Will he be happy?
He needs someone to listen to his song. He will only be joyful when that give and
take exists. Likewise, God also needs an object partner in order to experience joy.”
Excerpt from Rev. Sun Myung Moon’s speech, November 13, 1972
God created Man to be His object partner: to receive God’s love and return love to God.
God alone cannot feel joy, but when Man returns love to God and cooperate with Him, God can feel
joy.
The Purpose of Creation is Joy

15. An individual alone cannot
experience joy.
Joy only comes from a
relationship with something or
someone.
God Man
The Purpose of Creation is Joy

16. Even before the Creation, a blueprint was designed in God’s mind.
Man was conceived in God’s own image, as the living being that embodies all of
His attributes.
Taking the human image as a model, and by taking out of it various attributes ,
God conceived the image of each animal. By taking out more attributes and
transforming them, He conceived the images of plants.
Even among animals, He first conceived the image of higher animals, which are
closer to humans, and by abstracting and transforming them, He gradually
conceived the image of lower animals. Among plants, He also conceived the
image of higher plants first, and then gradually the image of lower plants.
At the extreme end of the process of abstracting and transforming the images of
animals and plants, God conceived the image of a cell.
The cell was conceived as the smallest unit of all living beings.
Before Creation

17. GOD
In God’s Mind
Before the Creation
In His mind, God first
created a Man and a
Woman in His image and
then animals, plants,
minerals and lastly atoms.
John 1:1-3; Psalms 33:6-9 speaks of the Logos or Word of God. To say that things were created
through the Logos of God, means that things where created according to the Word or Blueprint that
God had in mind before the creation began.

18. Creation
BIG-BANG
Once everything was ready
in His mind, God started the process
of Creation through the Big Bang and then
guided the development of the universe, the
development of life on earth and finally the creation of Man.

19. The Creation is the work of a loving Creator.
It requires a lot of faith to believe that the Creation is just
the result of random evolution.
A Loving Creator
