1 What Child is This? The Creator! Pastor Kellen Lewis Sunday, December 4, 2016 John 1:1-3

2 John 1:1-3 (ESV) The Word Became Flesh 1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. 2 He was in the beginning with God. 3 All things were made through him, and without him was not any thing made that was made.

3 The Baby in the Manger is the Creator of Everything 1. Jesus is God, the eternal creator. (John 1:1-3) John 1:1-3 The Word Became Flesh 1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. 2 He was in the beginning with God. 3 All things were made through him, and without him was not any thing made that was made.

4 2. Genesis gives a play-by-play of creation. (Genesis 1)

5 3. Contemporary science theorizes the same play-by-play.

6 1.[Gen. 1:1] In the beginning God created heaven and earth. 1 The ancient Hebrew language had only about 3,000 words and did not have a word for universe so it used the phrase heaven and earth instead. Big bang cosmology says the universe had a definite beginning from nothing. In other words, it came about through an act of creation. Science can t tell us if the cause of the creation of the universe was conscious (God) or unconscious (super-nature). 2.[Gen. 1:2] The earth was without form Just after the creation of the universe, there were none of the cosmic structures we see today. There was no Earth just after the big bang.

7 3. and empty, There was no matter at this time. 4. with darkness on the face of the depths, Light was trapped by free electrons in the universe at this time. 5 but God s spirit moved on the water s surface. Current scientific theory says that something called inflation happened that is currently not understood in terms of the laws of physics. It was a one-time event, consistent with what Christians call a miracle or divine intervention. It is interesting that both physics and the Bible say that something unique happened at this point in the development of our world.

8 6.[Gen. 1:3] God said, There shall be light, and light came into existence. Up until this point photons of light have been trapped by repeated collisions with free electrons. Once the universe is cool enough to allow electrons to combine with atomic nuclei to form neutral atoms, photons become free to roam the universe. 7.[Gen. 1:4] God divided between the light and the darkness. The Bible is saying that darkness is a thing in and of itself. Modern astrophysics now agrees that darkness is more than just shadows or the absence of light. Modern physics is struggling to understand this with concepts such as dark matter and dark energy.

9 8. [Gen. 1:6] God said, There shall be a sky in the middle of the water, and it shall divide between water and water. There is evidence that our universe may have been formed by the interplay of two fluids something called quarks and what we think of as empty space. For example, the December 2005 issue of Scientific American includes an article, An Echo of Black Holes, by Theodore A. Jacobson and Renaud Parentani, that hypothesized that spacetime is in some ways like a material fluid. Another article from the May 2006 issue, The First Few Microseconds by Michael Riordan and William A. Zajc, explains how the quark soup that came into existence at this stage of the universe acted like a perfect fluid.

10 In regard to Gen. 1:6, Maimonides explains, It has been declared by our Sages that the portion above the firmament is only water in name, not in reality the account of the firmament, with that which is above it and is called water, is as you see, of a very mysterious character. The problem once again is that ancient Hebrew had a relatively small number of words. Because it had no word for fluid, the word water was used instead. This did not prevent ancient and medieval scholars of the ancient Hebrew from gaining important scientific insights by carefully reading Genesis. Refer to Maimonides The Guide for the Perplexed, Chapter XXX for a truly thought-provoking and scientifically-compatible explanation of this passage.

11 9. [Gen. 1:7-8] God [thus] made the sky, and it separated the water below the sky from the water above the sky. It remained that way. God named the sky Heaven. Galaxies comprised of stars, including the Sun, were formed. 10. [Gen. 1:9] God said, The waters under the heaven shall be gathered to one place, and dry land shall be seen. The Earth was formed and continents appeared through the process of plate tectonics. 11. [Gen. 1:10] God named the dry land Earth, and the gatherings of water, He named Seas. The oceans formed around the continents.

12 12. [Gen. 1:11] God said, The earth shall send forth vegetation. The first life on Earth was vegetation, and it appeared right after the oceans formed. 13. plants and fruit trees that produce their own kinds of fruits with seeds shall be on the earth. Plants with seeds and fruit came later, after the first primitive one-celled vegetation. 14. [Gen. 1:14] God said, There shall be lights in the heavenly sky to divide between day and night. Plants changed the atmosphere of the Earth so that it became transparent.

13 15.[Gen. 1:15] They shall be lights in the heavenly sky, to shine on the earth. Enough (unscattered) light was eventually able to reach the surface of the Earth to allow the Sun, Moon, and stars to become visible. 16.[Gen. 1:20] God said, The water shall teem with swarms of living creatures. Animal life appeared first in the oceans in an amazing and scientifically unexplained abundance during the Cambrian explosion (also called the biological big bang ). 17. Flying creatures shall fly over the land, on the face of the heavenly sky. Insects, including winged insects, appeared next.

14 18.[Gen. 1:21] God [thus] created the great sea monsters, The Hebrew words gadolim taninim translated here as great sea monsters has also been translated as whales, crocodiles, serpents, and dragons. Without doubt the word gadolim means great or large, but over the centuries, people translated the difficult word taninim in terms of their own experience. That s why the King James Bible, translated by a person from a sea-faring nation, translated it as whales. In his book, The Science of God, Dr. Gerald Schroeder argues that the correct translation of the ancient Hebrew word taninim is reptiles. Therefore this passage could be translated as, So God created the great reptiles. Those would be the dinosaurs.

15 19. along with every particular species of living thing that crawls, with which the waters teem, New forms of animals appeared, that developed the ability to crawl and walk on land. 20. and every particular species of winged flying creature. Winged dinosaurs and eventually birds appear. 21. [Gen. 1:22] God blessed them, saying, Be fruitful and become many, and fill the waters of the sea. Millions of species of animal life eventually appear.

16 22. Let the flying creatures multiply on the land. A number of species of animals develop the ability to fly in different ways, including bats, which are flying mammals. 23.[Gen. 1:24] God said, The earth shall bring forth particular species of living creatures, particular species of livestock, land animals, and beasts of the earth. Mammals appear which eventually become of special interest and use to humans. 24.[Gen. 1:26] God said, Let us make man in our image and likeness. The physical ancestors of humans appear in the form of smart animals (hominids).

17 25.[Gen. 1:27] God [thus] created man with His image. In the image of God, He created him, At some point, humans acquired the mysterious quality of consciousness. 26.[Gen. 1:28] God said to them, Be fertile and become many. Fill the land and conquer it. Dominate the fish of the sea, the birds of the sky, and every beast that walks the land. Humans come to dominate the Earth in ways no other life form has.

18 4. Contemporary science is starting to recognize a creator.
