Genesis and Science Correlation

Order of life

The correlation between Genesis and Science is remarkable, at the fact that each stage of creation is exact to how Science states it in order. Scientists have been won to faith by this amazing comparison.

Genesis sets it simply, starting with matter, light, then finally, man. Let's look at it more closely. In Genesis, why did 'green things' come first? Science says that green algae were necessary first to produce oxygen for the air so that creatures could breathe.

Next in the bible order is life in the waters. Science has found that marine creatures of about eleven classifications appear at this time. Then the bible refers to very large sea creatures.

Both science and the bible put land animals next. School children get very exited about the amphibians, especially with the huge towering dinosaurs.

The Climax of Creation

Finally, God creates man in his own image. Science finds that man is last to appear on the earth, so man must be of some relevance when the universe was created. There is much argument about man's origin and, as I have done research, I have investigated the various theories, but no one is able to deny that he is last on the scene and that both Bible and science agree. They also agree that no new species have appeared since and the Bible tells you that God rested from making anything else after he made man. (That is another reason why I find it so hard to believe that there is life on other planets). In fact, Hebrews chapter 4 tells you that he still rests and uses the fact to invite you to a spiritual rest of faith in the finished work of Christ for your salvation. That God still 'rests' is an interesting application of the fact that there is no statement in Genesis, to say that 'day seven' - God's rest from creation - has ended.
