d life  forms  were  created directly by
 God.   The evolutionist ideas dealing with the creation of  the universe
 (Big Bang,  Steady State) do not answer the questions of 1st cause.

          2.1.  Summary of creation (Gen 1.1).

               2.1.1.  Beginning - God started time
               2.1.2.  Heavens - God created space
               2.1.3.  Earth - God created matter

          2.2.  God created light (Gen 1.3-5).

          2.2.1. In our experience matter and energy are constant.

          2.3.   God created the canopy,  atmosphere and hydrosphere (Gen
               1.6-8).
               2.3.1.  The canopy controlled climate and radiation.

          2.4.   God  created  land and plants  (Gen 1.9-13).

          2.5.   God created the sun, moon, planets, and stars (Gen 1.14-
          19).

          2.6.   God  created water life  and  birds (Gen 1.20-23).
          2.7.   God  created animals including  man and woman (Gen 1.24-
          31).  Man and woman are detailed in Gen 2.5-22.
          2.8.   One  day  was 24 hours (2  Pet  3).  The diagram below
          shows the seven days of creation.

     3.  Theories of origin.

          3.1.   The most popular evolutionist ideas are the Big Bang and
                 Steady State.

          3.2.   The  "Big  Bang" is defined  as  an explosion  of  all
                 the  matter and  energy  in  the universe
                 10 billion years ago.

         3.2.1.  Very   popular,   but   no evidence.

         3.2.2.  Contradicts entropy.

         3.2.3.   System  like earth  requires two explosions.

         3.3.   The steady state idea is a  gradual buildup through
gravitational attraction upon moving particles.   This requires eternal
matter.   This is the only alternative to the Big Bang.   This idea is
kept  around for scientists to fall back on when Big Bang predictions turn
out backwards.

     4.   Noah's  flood.   God unleashed forces upon the  crust  of  the
earth  during  the  great  flood resulted  in the geologic features and
processes  we see today.

          4.1.  Chronology of the flood.

               4.1.1.  God warned Noah (Gen 6.13).

               4.1.2.   120  years to build the ark, gather animals (Gen
               6.3-22).

               4.1.3.   7 day warning - load the ark (Gen 7.4-10).

               4.1.4.   Flood starts:   Fountains of deep open,  floodgates
                        of sky open,  rain falls (Gen 7.11-12).

               4.1.5.   Waters rise for 40 days (Gen 7.17).

               4.1.6.   Mountains covered (Gen 7.20).

               4.1.7.   Air  breathers die (Gen  21-22).

               4.1.8.   Flood  level maintained  110 more days (Gen 7.24,
               8.3).

               4.1.9.   Waters  begin to subside 150 days  after  start.
               Wind  passes over  the  earth, fountains of the deep close,
               flood gates of the sky close, rain is restrained (Gen 8.1-
               3).

               4.1.10.   Ark  rests  on Ararat  (Gen 8.4).
