The Beginning of the World is an in-depth Bible study of Genesis revealing the scientific proof of Creation. Sadly the unproven theory of evolution is now widely accepted among Christians. Faith in this philosophy subtly, yet assuredly undermines faith in the authority and infallibility of Scripture. In this Bible study resource, Dr. Henry Morris shines a bright light on the synchronicity between the Bible and modern science.
If the first eleven chapters of the Bible are considered allegory or myth, how will new and immature Christians relate to the Ten Commandments? Dr. Morris, the founder of the Institute for Creation Research, recognizes the attack on the foundational message of the Bible as Satan's long war against God. His professional scientific and biblical research is aimed at defeating the lies of evolution and defending the Bible.
The New Testament directly quotes or alludes to the Book of Genesis no less than 200 times, with half of these referring to the first 11 chapters of Genesis. Jesus Christ quoted or referred to each of the first 7 chapters of Genesis alone. All of these references show that both Christ and the apostles accepted Genesis not only as fully historical but also as divinely inspired.
The Beginning of the World offers careful analysis of following topics and many more revealing their relevance and/or application to our 21st century lives.
- The fallacies of Evolution
- The Meaning of Marriage
- The Giants in the earth
- The Geological Implications of the Flood
- The Noahic Covenant
- The Table of Nations
- Nimrod and the Tower of Babel
If you love the Bible but experience difficulty in defending it against intellectual arguments, you will find this Bible study resource extremely helpful. Perhaps Dr. Morris writes to help you and your church withstand the academic attack and ridicule of the Christian faith by supplying a solid and intelligent knowledge of the complete integrity of Genesis. This book is an excellent study aid for Bible teachers, Bible study groups, and individual study by both scholars and laymen. Discussion questions are offered at the end of each chapter.

Review
Now I believe in Jesus Christ as the Creator of all things in contrast to the totally unscientific idea of grand scale evolution and spontaneous generation of life. All known scientific data fit into the special creation account of the beginning of the universe, of life, and of men. --John Moore, EdD Professor of Natural Science
Each chapter of this Bible study resource on the book of Genesis offers thought provoking discussion questions for the material presented. Below is a sampling of the questions:
- Are there any real contradictions between Genesis 1 and Genesis 2.
- How can one harmonize the creation of Eve out of Adam's side with the theory of evolution?
- How can one harmonize the creation of plants and animals with the theory of organic evolution?
- Is it legitimate in God's sight to use animals for research?
- What are the implications of the curse in relation to evolution?
- How can a God of love and power allow injustice and suffering to continue existing in the world?
- How is Abel a type of Christ? Discuss the references in the New Testament to Cain and Abel.
- Why do we find so few fossil remains of the Pre-Flood civilization?
- Who were the "giants of the earth in those days" and what happened to them?
- What was the physical mechanism that caused the flood?
- How did the animals get from Mt. Ararat to the other continents?
- What evidences of the Flood can we still see in the present structure of the earth's surface?
- Does the curse on Canaan justify slavery or racism, as some have claimed?
- What is the evidence that evolutionism, pantheism, astrology, spiritism and idolatry all originated at Babel and then reached all nations?
- Compare and contrast the three "cosmologies" mentioned in 2 Peter 3, and the periods of history corresponding to each.
- How is Evolution predicted in 2 Peter 3? --From Inside the Book
