God’s intention at the Creation was for man to care for and develop the earth’s resources, including animals, in a creative and responsible way, mirroring how God created the entire universe. The sense of ‘dominion’ in Genesis 1:28, taken in context of the whole of Genesis 1 and 2, is not one of exploitation but good and wise stewardship. A Christian’s treatment of animals, and of creation for that matter should take its cues from the Creation account. Read Full Answer.

Please refer to the post I understand that creation theory teaches that everything is circa 6,000 years old. How does it explain light from millions of years away? How do you reconcile science pointing toward an old earth and the Bible? for the answer.

This is an important question to ask, as long as we ask it with no assumptions – why did God create a situation where man could disobey Him? Why did He create anything at all?

Everything was created to ultimately serve and please God, and we were created with that purpose as well. He gave us the ability to choose to disobey Him, and this was also given to us to serve God’s purposes. Adam and Eve knew God and walk with Him in the garden where He had placed them. They could eat from any other tree in the garden. They chose in a selfish moment to do the one thing God told them not to do (Gen 2:15-17). Thus, Sin was brought into the world.

Adam and Eve did not trust God, even though He had created them. They did not treasure their relationship with Him. They thought they could do better than He. We are similiar in many ways. Do we see our proper position to God?

In the bible, Job 15:7-16 records God speaking to Job to put him in his proper place: “Are you the first man ever born? Were you brought forth before the hills? Do you listen in on God’s council? Do you have a monopoly on wisdom? What do you know that we do not know? What insights do you have that we do not have? The gray-haired and the aged are on our side, men even older than your father. Are God’s consolations not enough for you, words spoken gently to you? Why has your heart carried you away, and why do your eyes flash, so that you vent your rage against God and pour out such words from your mouth?”

We must see God for who he really is. We must trust God in what he says, in His plans and promises. God is good and is sovereign over all things, thus he has chosen things for his divine purposes and for his own glory(Romans 7:7-12, Romans 8:28-29, Romans 9:21, Romans 16:25-27, 1 Thessalonians 1:3-4, 2 Timothy 2:20). It’s really amazing what God has done to bring us back to Him.

The ‘creation theory that teaches that everything is circa 6,000’ that the question refers to is actually known as ‘Young Earth Creationism’ which is one of at least 6 different views that different Bible believing Christians have with regard to the creation account.

The Bible scholar Graeme Goldsworthy has helpfully summarized the kingdom of God as “God’s people in God’s place under God’s rule”; in short, it is the sphere of God’s reign. While the term does not occur in the Old Testament, the idea definitely does. Jesus talks about the Kingdom of God being here (Mark 1:15), and still to come (Matthew 6:10). Jesus’ coming to earth inaugurates the Kingdom of God on earth, but it will be complete at His second coming. Read Full Answer.

When God created everything, He created it good – without sin or flaw (Genesis 1:31). When Adam rebelled against God, sin entered the world and everything became imperfect.  This extends even to our DNA and genetic code. It is because of this disobedience to God that we are all sinful – not just homosexuals, Read Full Answer.

Just as God did not “create” good, He did not “create” evil. God is the definition of good and the rejection of God or His personality is by definition evil. While it is a concept and not a created thing, evil is real and does exist. Evil exists as a result of the ability to accept or reject God. Read Full Answer.

The chief end of man is to glorify God and enjoy Him forever. It is for this purpose that we were created.
