God Created the World

Creationism is the belief that there is a God, and he created the earth as well as everything on it. According to the Britannica Encyclopedia, modern day scientists typically reject this. Creationists believe the world was created in six days as written in Genesis chapter one. The popularity of creationism began to decrease when Charles Darwin’s book On the Origin of Species was released and led the scientific community, as well as some churches, to go with the side of evolution within a couple decades of the book’s release. In 1950, Pope Pius XII released a letter to the bishops of the Roman Catholic church stating there is no difference between the big bang theory and the teachings of the church. This was once again affirmed in 1996 by Pope John Paul II.

There are still many people worldwide that believe in creationism which is one of the most argued accounts in the Bible. The Bible states in Genesis, “In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth” (Genesis 1:1). Events throughout history, such as the flood, have proven the Bible to be true. In my opinion, this would be the second most disputed point in the Bible. The flood was a worldwide event that was caused by excessive rain for forty-days and forty-nights. Christians believe that there is a one true, omnipotent God who created the world with a few simple commands. In the Bible, there are many accounts to prove that there is a God, perhaps the biggest account of them all to prove that there is a God. Jesus is the one true son of God and the Bible states that Jesus compiled a whole bunch of miracles, the biggest being when he died on the cross for our sins but arose again to prove that he is the one true son of God.

A good portion of the world do indeed believe in God, but about 3.1% of the world population don’t. The people who don’t believe in a God or a religion have a name, they are called atheists. Atheists are people who believe there is no such thing as a God, they also generally believe The Big Bang Theory, old earth theory, and/or evolution.

I believe that there is a living breathing God, I also believe in the creation theory. I am a Christian, so I do believe the bible, I don’t have to believe it but I choose to believe it. In the argument of the scientific side, I find it interesting, even though science has its flaws, I just personally find it neat and cool as well as interesting. In the end the religious point of view has a lot of support, even though it is from a book that is practically made for the religion, there IS history supporting that it is true. As for The Big Bang side even though The Big Bang Theory can’t be tested it is a viable outcome on how the world was created, with the earths age it will never be exact unless there is a race that knew of us when created to tell us. I can't say what the outcome of a living God will be but there is already circumstantial evidence pointing towards there being a god that created us instead of two atomic particles creating us.
