Genesis 1 describes God's creation of the heavens, earth, plants, animals, and humanity over six days. It explains that God created light, sky, land, vegetation, the sun and moon, sea creatures, birds, land animals, and finally humans, both male and female, in God's image on the sixth day. The chapter concludes by stating that God saw all creation as "very good."

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.
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 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.
2. Genesis 1
1 In the beginning God created the heavens and the
earth. 2 The earth was formless and void, and darkness
was over the surface of the deep, and the Spirit of God
was moving over the surface of the waters. 3 Then God
said, “Let there be light”; and there was light. 4 God
saw that the light was good; and God 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, one day. 6 Then God said,
3. “Let there be an expanse in the midst of the waters,
and let it separate the waters from the waters.” 7 God
made the expanse, and separated the waters which
were below the expanse from the waters which were
above the expanse; and it was so. 8 God called the
expanse heaven. And there was evening and there was
morning, a second day. 9 Then God said, “Let the waters
below the heavens be gathered into one place, and let
the dry land appear”; and it was so. 10 God called the
dry land earth, and the gathering of the waters He
called seas; and God saw that it was good. 11 Then God
said, “Let the earth sprout vegetation, plants
4. yielding seed, and fruit trees on the earth bearing fruit
after their kind with seed in them”; and it was so. 12
The earth brought forth vegetation, plants yielding
seed after their kind, and trees bearing fruit with seed
in them, after their kind; and God saw that it was good.
13 There was evening and there was morning, a third
day. 14 Then God said, “Let there be lights in the
expanse of the heavens to separate the day from the
night, and let them be for signs and for seasons and for
days and years; 15 and let them be for lights in the
expanse of the heavens to give light on the earth”; and
it was so. 16 God made the two great lights,
5. the greater light to govern the day, and the lesser light
to govern the night; He made the stars also. 17 God
placed them in the expanse of the heavens to give light
on the earth, 18 and to govern the day and the night,
and to separate the light from the darkness; and God
saw that it was good. 19 There was evening and there
was morning, a fourth day. 20 Then God said, “Let the
waters teem with swarms of living creatures, and let
birds fly above the earth in the open expanse of the
heavens.” 21 God created the great sea monsters and
every living creature that moves, with which the waters
swarmed after their kind, and every winged bird
6. after its kind; and God saw that it was good. 22 God
blessed them, saying, “Be fruitful and multiply, and fill
the waters in the seas, and let birds multiply on the
earth.” 23 There was evening and there was morning, a
fifth day. 24 Then God said, “Let the earth bring forth
living creatures after their kind: cattle and creeping
things and beasts of the earth after their kind”; and it
was so. 25 God made the beasts of the earth after their
kind, and the cattle after their kind, and everything that
creeps on the ground after its kind; and God saw that it
was good. 26 Then God said, “Let Us make man in Our
image, according to Our likeness; and let them
7. rule over the fish of the sea and over the birds of the
sky and over the cattle and over all the earth, and over
every creeping thing that creeps on the earth.” 27 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 God said to them, “Be fruitful and
multiply, and fill the earth, and subdue it; and rule over
the fish of the sea and over the birds of the sky and
over every living thing that moves on the earth.” 29
Then God said, “Behold, I have given you every plant
yielding seed that is on the surface of all the earth, and
every tree which has fruit yielding seed; it shall be
8. food for you; 30 and to every beast of the earth and to
every bird of the sky and to every thing that moves on
the earth which has life, I have given every green plant
for food”; and it was so. 31 God saw all that He had
made, and behold, it was very good. And there was
evening and there was morning, the sixth day.
10. We Live in a Personal Universe
And God said…
For the LORD is God, and he created the heavens and
earth and put everything in place. He made the world
to be lived in, not to be a place of empty chaos. “I am
the LORD,” he says, “and there is no other.
Isaiah 45:18 (NLT)
11. A Foundation of
Faith
By faith we understand
that the worlds were
prepared by the word of
God, so that what is
seen was not made out
of things which are
visible.
Hebrews 11:3
12. Word Wealth
The Hebrew word bara˒ is used only of God’s activity in
initiating a thing or project. The Bible teaches that God
initiated (created) the universe, humanity, forgiveness,
and new life for sinners.
13. Think
Not on how, but on who
Not on when, but on what
The what is a home for you
14. The Holy Spirit in action
The earth was formless and void, and darkness was
over the surface of the deep, and the Spirit of God was
moving over the surface of the waters.
Genesis 1:2
15. A Paul Harvey Moment
In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with
God, and the Word was God. He was in the beginning
with God. All things came into being through Him, and
apart from Him nothing came into being that has come
into being.
John 1:1–3
17. God Created
1. Let there be light
2. Let there be an expanse
(atmosphere)
3. Let the water be gathered
and dry land appear and
vegetation
4. Let there be light in the
expanse
5. Let the water and the sky
have animals
6. Let the land have animals
19. Then God said,
“Let Us make man in Our image, according to Our
likeness; and let them rule over the fish of the sea and
over the birds of the sky and over the cattle and over all
the earth, and over every creeping thing that creeps on
the earth.”
20. God created man in His own image, in the image of
God He created him; male and female He created
them.
21. What is the image of
God?

breath, that which

22. Notice
the
change
God saw all that He had
made, and behold, it was
very good. And there was
evening and there was
morning, the sixth day.
23. The work is done
Thus the heavens and the earth were completed, and
all their hosts. By the seventh day God completed His
work which He had done, and He rested on the seventh
day from all His work which He had done. Then God
blessed the seventh day and sanctified it, because in it
He rested from all His work which God had created and
made.
Genesis 2:1–3
24. Our Response
1 O LORD, our Lord, How majestic is Your name in all the
earth, Who have displayed Your splendor above the
heavens! 2 From the mouth of infants and nursing
babes You have established strength Because of Your
adversaries, To make the enemy and the revengeful
cease. 3 When I consider Your heavens, the work of
Your fingers, The moon and the stars, which You have
ordained; 4 What is man that You take thought of him,
And the son of man that You care for him?
25. Our Response
5 Yet You have made him a little lower than God, And
You crown him with glory and majesty! 6 You make him
to rule over the works of Your hands; You have put all
things under his feet, 7 All sheep and oxen, And also the
beasts of the field, 8 The birds of the heavens and the
fish of the sea, Whatever passes through the paths of
the seas. 9 O LORD, our Lord, How majestic is Your name
in all the earth!
Psalm 8
26. Our take away
1. God speaks we
respond
2. Our goal is to be
