The document describes the biblical account of God creating the world over six days according to the book of Genesis. It provides details of what God created on each of the six days: on day one light, day two the sky, day three dry land and plants, day four the sun, moon and stars, day five sea creatures and birds, and on day sixth land animals and humans. The document also discusses different Christian views on interpreting Genesis, from a literal six-day creation to accepting scientific theories like evolution and the big bang. It explores Christian beliefs around stewardship of the environment and responses to environmental issues.
Science and Faith - The Anthropic Principle: Humanity at the centre of the un...Gospel Conversations
In this second talk of the Science and Faith series Ron Winestock moves on to the topic of cosmology - ie what is the origin of the universe. This is mind boggling stuff and dwarfs the more conventional 'evolution' debates. He explains the anthropic principle that is fast emerging among scientists and which is ironically putting this little old earth back at the centre of attention. He describes the earth as the ark of humanity - a wonder of life in the midst of a barren universe. He contrasts the scientific view of cosmology with the Jewish view. Listen for some of the great discussion here - particularly as we develop the metaphor of the car to explain all of this.
In this first talk in the Science and Faith series Ron Winestock confronts the question, "How well does Genesis 1 fit in with the new science?" Most people wonder whether Genesis fits with evolution, but Ron takes a far broader view, and compares the implications of Genesis with cosmology - the theory of relativity and the origins of the universe. He concludes that Genesis is surprisingly modern, although it does not try to be a science text book. Then he compares the whole secular and Greek view of reality with its great rival the Jewish tradition - a topic he will develop in his next talk.

Genesis:creation
1 In the beginning God created heaven and earth.
2 Now the earth was a formless void, there was darkness over the deep, with a divine wind sweeping over the waters.
3 God said, 'Let there be light,' and there was light.
4 God saw that light was good, and God divided light from darkness.
5 God called light 'day', and darkness he called 'night'. Evening came and morning came: the first day.
6 God said, 'Let there be a vault through the middle of the waters to divide the waters in two.' And so it was.
7 God made the vault, and it divided the waters under the vault from the waters above the vault.
8 God called the vault 'heaven'. Evening came and morning came: the second day.
Genesis in relation to Ecotourism
Stewardship of Creation: According to Genesis, God gives humans authority over the planet and all of its inhabitants. This may be seen as a request for careful environmental stewardship. This idea is promoted by ecotourism, which encourages visitors to respect and protect wildlife, natural habitats, and regional cultures.
Appreciation for Nature's Beauty: Genesis portrays the world as a masterpiece of God's creation, emphasizing its beauty and diversity. Similarly, ecotourism encourages travelers to appreciate the natural beauty of destinations they visit, fostering a deeper connection with the environment and a desire to conserve it for future generations. Genesis emphasizes the diversity and beauty of nature, showing it as a maste

Renewed in Grace
In Jude 17-23 Jude shifts from piling up examples of false teachers from the Old Testament to a series of practical exhortations that flow from apostolic instruction. He preserves for us what may well have been part of the apostolic catechism for the first generation of Christ-followers. In these instructions Jude exhorts the believer to deal with 3 different groups of people: scoffers who are "devoid of the Spirit", believers who have come under the influence of scoffers and believers who are so entrenched in false teaching that they need rescue and pose some real spiritual risk for the rescuer. In all of this Jude emphasizes Jesus' call to rescue straying sheep, leaving the 99 safely behind and pursuing the 1.

6. The Creation of the World The Bible’s account of creation found in Genesis shows the world being created by the word of God in 6 days. 1 In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth. 2 Now the earth was formless and empty, darkness was over the surface of the deep, and the Spirit of God was hovering over the waters.
7. The Creation of the World Day 1 3 And God said, "Let there be light," and there was light. 4 God saw that the light was good, and he separated the light from the darkness. 5 God called the light "day," and the darkness he called "night." And there was evening, and there was morning-the first day.
8. The Creation of the World Day 2 6 And God said, "Let there be an expanse between the waters to separate water from water." 7 So God made the expanse and separated the water under the expanse from the water above it. And it was so. 8 God called the expanse "sky." And there was evening, and there was morning-the second day.
9. The Creation of the World Day 3 9 And God said, "Let the water under the sky be gathered to one place, and let dry ground appear." And it was so. 10 God called the dry ground "land," and the gathered waters he called "seas." And God saw that it was good. 11 Then God said, "Let the land produce vegetation: seed-bearing plants and trees on the land that bear fruit with seed in it, according to their various kinds." And it was so. 12 The land produced vegetation: plants bearing seed according to their kinds and trees bearing fruit with seed in it according to their kinds. And God saw that it was good. 13 And there was evening, and there was morning-the third day.
10. The Creation of the World Day 4 14 And God said, "Let there be lights in the expanse of the sky to separate the day from the night, and let them serve as signs to mark seasons and days and years, 15 and let them be lights in the expanse of the sky to give light on the earth." And it was so. 16 God made two great lights-the greater light to govern the day and the lesser light to govern the night. He also made the stars. 17 God set them in the expanse of the sky to give light on the earth, 18 to govern the day and the night, and to separate light from darkness. And God saw that it was good. 19 And there was evening, and there was morning-the fourth day.
11. The Creation of the World Day 5 20 And God said, "Let the water teem with living creatures, and let birds fly above the earth across the expanse of the sky." 21 So God created the great creatures of the sea and every living and moving thing with which the water teems, according to their kinds, and every winged bird according to its kind. And God saw that it was good. 22 God blessed them and said, "Be fruitful and increase in number and fill the water in the seas, and let the birds increase on the earth." 23 And there was evening, and there was morning-the fifth day.
12. The Creation of the World Day 6 24 And God said, "Let the land produce living creatures according to their kinds: livestock, creatures that move along the ground, and wild animals, each according to its kind." And it was so. 25 God made the wild animals according to their kinds, the livestock according to their kinds, and all the creatures that move along the ground according to their kinds. And God saw that it was good. 26 Then God said, "Let us make man in our image, in our likeness, and let them rule over the fish of the sea and the birds of the air, over the livestock, over all the earth and over all the creatures that move along the ground."
13. The Creation of the World Day 6 part 2 27 So God created man in his own image, in the image of God he created him; male and female he created them. 28 God blessed them and said to them, "Be fruitful and increase in number; fill the earth and subdue it. Rule over the fish of the sea and the birds of the air and over every living creature that moves on the ground."
14. The Creation of the World Day 6 part 3 Then God said, "I give you every seed-bearing plant on the face of the whole earth and every tree that has fruit with seed in it. They will be yours for food. 30 And to all the beasts of the earth and all the birds of the air and all the creatures that move on the ground-everything that has the breath of life in it-I give every green plant for food." And it was so. 31 God saw all that he had made, and it was very good. And there was evening, and there was morning-the sixth day.
