Week 5 - Effects of Sin & Age of the Earth (Continued)

Week 7 - Death Before the Fall & Using the Bible to Interpret Science

We look at the most challenging theological issue in our journey to attempt to reconcile the Bible and science: death before the sin. We also spend time discussing various arguments that are proposed by "old Earth" advocates and examine how the scientific evidence that has been used to support an old Earth yields inconsistent results. We then show how that same evidence, when interpreted through the lens of the Bible, is consistent with and best explained by the Biblical account.

Week 6 - The Age of the Earth (Continued)

We continue our discussion of the age of the Earth by looking at two more methods used to reconcile the Bible and science: the Literary Framework Hypothesis and Theistic Evolution.

Week 5 - Effects of Sin & Age of the Earth (Continued)

We look at God's amazing grace in response to rebellion in the garden and His promise of a future "seed" of redemption who would ultimately defeat the crafty serpent. We then see more pictures of that grace in the judgment of the flood by preserving Noah and his family. Finally, we look at the "Gap" Theory and Progressive Creationism as methods attempted to be used to reconcile the Bible and science.

Week 4 - The Fall & Age of Earth

As we continue to study the Fall, we examine what led Adam and Eve to disobey God, what that tells us about the nature of sin, and the consequences of their sin by understanding God's pronounced judgments. We also begin the discussion on what Genesis teaches us about the age of the Earth and why that matters.

Week 3 - The Fall

We examine the alleged differences between Genesis 1 and Genesis 2 and how God's creation of woman from man plays a significant role in humans reflecting the image of God. We also begin to look at how God's kingdom was rejected during the Fall by studying the identity of the crafty serpent.
