How does this contrast with the worlds view?
As Christians, we maintain
that the Bible is God’s Holy Word. Nevertheless, the world does not
perceive the truth, so they believe that the Bible is fallible. The theory
of evolution is a fantasy born out of the minds of man, in order to do
away with God. Evolution explains that dinosaurs were extinct millions of
years before man evolved.

Creation
can be found in myths from other cultures, research and find a few
examples. Are there any similarities between these myths and the real
Creation? An example of a myth of creation: The people of Greece
believed that out of chaos came Mother Earth. She gave birth to Father Sky
(Uranus), and then he falls in love with her. He decides to shower her
with rain and sunshine, and she then gives birth to all the animals,
birds, plants. Uranus fills the rivers and seas with life. He doesn’t love
all the sons of Mother Earth and he sends some to the underworld. Mother
Earth dislikes this, so she asks 7 of her sons to push Uranus away. The
youngest son makes a flint sickle from a high peak. He wounds Uranus
enough that he retreats to the outermost parts of the universe and so the
earth and sky were separated.
