darkness from the light• He called the darkness

night and the light, day

“And God said, ‘Let there be light,’ and there was

light. God saw that the light was good, and He

separated the light from the darkness. God called

the light ‘day,’ and the darkness he called

“’night.’” (Genesis 1:3-5)

Day Two

• God created dry ground• He separated dry

ground from water• He called the dry

ground land and the water seas

“And God said, ‘Let there be an expanse between the

waters to separate water from water.’ So God made the expanse and separated

the water under the expanse from the water

above it. And it was so. God called the expanse ‘sky.’

And there was evening, and there was morning—the

second day.” (Genesis 1:6-8)

Day Three

“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.” (Genesis 1:11

NIV)

Day Four

• God created stars, moon, and the sun

• He wanted there to be indicators in the sky so that there would be a difference in day and night

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, and let them be lights in the

expanse of the sky to give light on the earth.’ And it was so.” (Genesis 1:14,15

NIV)

Day Five

• God created living creatures to live in the sky and water

• He called the creatures that lived in the sky “birds”

“And God said, ‘Let the water teem with

living creatures, and let birds fly above

the earth across the expanse of the sky.’”

(Genesis 1:20 NIV)

Day Six

• God created living creatures that would roam the Earth/ land animals

• God also created man in His own image

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. 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."(Genesis 1:24,26NIV)

Theory #2

Beliefs of this theory

• People that believe this theory think that the entire universe was formed by a singularity—a point in space with no volume, but infinite density

• They believe that the universe began by an expanding singularity, that is still expanding, to this day

• Approximately 12-15 million years old

12-15 Million

What sparked this theory?

• The Catholic priest, Georges Lemaitre, was the first person to begin the idea of The Big Bang
