The Wrong Book
THE WRONG BOOK
Read Genesis 1:1-3, 6, 9, 14, 20, 24, 26, 31.
Getting out his science book, Scott sat down at the kitchen table to do some homework. Wow! he thought to himself after reading a few pages. This sure doesn’t sound like what it says in the Bible. Feeling confused, he went to talk to his dad, who was replacing some spark plugs in the car. “Dad, my science book doesn’t teach Creation like the Bible does,” said Scott. “According to my book, many scientists believe that the earth and people and everything just ‘happened’ to come into existence.”
“Well, Son,” said Dad, “you might as well know right now that some books are wrong. People have written them, and people can sometimes make mistakes. But the Bible has no errors.”
“Is that because the Bible was inspired by God?” Scott asked.
“That’s right,” Dad replied. “That’s why we call it the Word of God—and it tells us that God created everything. In addition to that, our common sense tells us that people couldn’t have just ‘happened.’ What if I told you this car just ‘happened’—that nobody put the engine, the body, the seats, the wheels, and all the other parts of this car together, but they just all came together by themselves?”
Scott laughed. “I’d tell you that was crazy,” he said.
“You’d be absolutely right,” Dad replied. “And the human body is far more complicated than this car. We’re not accidents. We are part of God’s plan and creation.”
HOW ABOUT YOU?
Have you heard people talk about evolution as if it were fact? Don’t believe it! God made the whole world and everything in it. He made you, He loves you, and He has a wonderful plan and purpose for your life.
TO MEMORIZE:
In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth.
Genesis 1:1
GOD MADE EVERYTHING.
