Since time began, mankind has been asking two simple questions…. How did we get here, and what on earth are we actually here for? It’s in our nature to wonder, to look up at the stars and think there must be more to this than meets the eye.

How Everything Began

Forget the idea of all this being the result of some random explosion… something can’t be made from nothing! Nor are we apes that ‘slowly turned into men‘… if so, why are there still apes around? No, we were designed and created by some awesome powerful force, so mighty that it’s way beyond human comprehension! We were also given an ‘operators manual’ for life, the Bible, so we can navigate our way through life safely!

In the beginning, God created the heavens and the earth. He didn’t use pre-existing materials. Instead, He brought everything into existence through His power. First came the physical universe, which included stars, planets, and our world. Then, He spent six creative periods preparing earth for life.

Preparing Earth for Life

During these long periods, He formed the oceans, dry land, and atmosphere. Next, he filled the world with lush plants, sea creatures, flying birds, and land animals. Every single creature was made according to its own kind.

Finally, God made humans. “God went on to create the man in His image,” says Genesis 1…27. God created the first man, Adam, out of dust from the ground and breathed life into him. Later, He created Eve to be Adam’s partner. He placed these two people in a beautiful garden called Eden.

God gave mankind the perfect home and a wonderful purpose. They were meant to care for the world, look after the animals, and fill the earth with happy families. That’s how our journey in this world started!
