Grand Canyon: Act of God

Ever wonder how the Grand Canyon came into place?

Some claim "a lot of time and a little bit of water" created this phenomenon, but Ken Hamm of Answers in Genesis claims it was "a little bit of time and a great deal of water", and I happen to agree.

Never mind the fact that I'm a Christian and I believe the Biblical account of Noah's Ark and the Great Flood to be true, but current events confirm this geological anomaly is highly probable.

The canyon below was carved out this past week in Durham England as a result of one day's worth of rain.




"Mother Nature" my foot...more like an "act of God". Imagine what 40 days of rain across the whole world would create.

Read the Historical Account of the Great Flood in Genesis 6-8.

There is a God and He Created...

"In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth." Genesis 1:1 NIV

I believe there are two very significant factors that we as a nation have forgotten.

1. There is a God, and
   
2. He created.

If America would once again unabashedly return to this premise, I think we could stand a fighting chance in getting our country back. If not, we're sunk.

Our Founding Fathers recognized the fact that there is a God and that He created mankind with certain inalienable rights. This is clearly laid out in our Declaration of Independence. In fact it is the whole premise behind our breaking from Great Britain. The fundamental truth that we are all created equal is the very foundation of our freedom.

Why on earth have we allowed any reference to God to be removed from our public institutions? And why have we ushered in the notion that "creationism" is not only just a "theory" but in some cases a crock? What are we thinking?

We must get back to recognizing God as the Creator, and more specifically our Creator, lest we as a nation be completely destroyed. Not only do we need to know this truth for ourselves, but we also must teach the current generation as well as the next by incorporating this knowledge back into the Public School curriculum.

TAKE ACTION:

1. Read The History of Creation below right now.
2. Share The History of Creation with your loved ones (children, nieces & nephews) this week.
3. Contact each member of your local School Board and ask that they include The History of Creation in the county schools' curriculum. Explain that it is a matter of preserving our national heritage and the very foundation of our country's future. "...We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights..." - US Declaration of Independence, 2nd Paragraph.
4. Attend the next School Board meeting in your county/community and suggest ways to incorporate The History of Creation into the school system's curriculum (ie. art or essay contest).
5. Write a Letter to the Editor of your local newspaper suggesting the importance of The History of Creation in our way of life in America.

The History of Creation
(Genesis 1:1 - 2:3)
======================

"In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth. Now the earth was formless and empty, darkness was over the surface of the deep, and the Spirit of God was hovering over the waters." Genesis 1:1-2 NIV

DAY 1: Day & Night
"And God said, 'Let there be light,' and there was light. God saw that the light was good and he separated the light from the darkness. God called the light 'day,' and the darkness he called 'night.' And there was evening, and there was morning -- the first day." Genesis 1:3-5 NIV

DAY 2: Sky
"And God said, 'Let there be an expanse between the waters to separate water from water.' So God made the expanse and separated the water under the expanse from the water above it. And it was so. God called the expanse 'sky'. And there was evening, and there was morning -- the second day." Genesis 1:6-8 NIV

DAY 3: Land & Vegetation
"And God said, 'Let the water under the sky be gathered to one place, and let dry ground appear.' And it was so. God called the dry ground 'land,' and the gathered waters he called 'seas.' And God saw that it was good.

"Then God said, 'Let the land produce vegetation: seed-bearing plants and trees on the land that bear fruit with seed in it, according to their various kinds.' And it was so. The land produced vegetation: plants bearing seed according to their kinds and trees bearing fruit with seed in it according to their kinds. And God saw that it was good. And there was evening, and there was morning -- the third day." Genesis 1:9-13 NIV

DAY 4: Sun, Moon & Stars
"And God said, 'Let there be lights in the expanse of the sky to separate the day from the night, and let them serve as signs to mark seasons and days and years, and let them be lights in the expanse of the sky to give light on the earth.' And it was so. God made two great lights -- the greater light to govern the day and the lesser light to govern the night. He also made the stars. God set them in the expanse of the sky to give light on the earth, to govern the day and the night, and to separate light from darkness. And God saw that it was good. And there was evening and there was morning -- the fourth day." Genesis 1:14-19 NIV

DAY 5: Sea & Flying Creatures
"And God said, 'Let the water teem with living creatures, and let birds fly above the earth across the expanse of the sky.' So God created the great creatures of the sea and every living and moving thing with which the water teems, according to their kinds, and every winged bird according to its kind. And God saw that it was good. God blessed them and said, 'Be fruitful and increase in number and fill the water in the seas, and let the birds increase on the earth.' And there was evening, and there was morning -- the fifth day." Genesis 1:20-23 NIV

DAY 6: Land Animals & Man
"And God said, 'Let the land produce living creatures according to their kinds: livestock, creatures that move along the ground, and wild animals, each according to its kind.' And it was so. God made the wild animals according to their kinds, the livestock according to their kinds, and all the creatures that move along the ground according to the kinds. And God saw that it was good.

"Then God said, 'Let us make man in our image, in our likeness, let them rule over the fish of the sea and the birds of the air, over the livestock, over all the earth, and over all the creatures that move along the ground.

"So God created man in his own image, in the image of God he created him; male and female he created them.

"God blessed them and said to them, "Be fruitful and increase in number; fill the earth and subdue it. Rule over the fish of the sea and the birds of the air and over every living creature that moves on the ground.
"The God said, 'I give you every seed-bearing plant on the face of the whole earth and every tree that has fruit with seed in it. They will be yours for food. And to all the beasts of the earth and all the birds of the the air and all the creatures that move on the ground -- everything that has the breath of life in it -- I give every green plant for food.' And it was so.

"God saw all that he had made, and it was very good. And there was evening, and there was morning -- the sixth day." Genesis 1:24-31 NIV

DAY 7: God Rests
"Thus the heavens and the earth were completed in all their vast array.

"By the seventh day God had finished the work he had been doing; so on the seventh day he rested from all his work. And God blessed the seventh day and made it holy, because on it he rested from all the work of creating that he had done." Genesis 2:1-3 NIV

Whether you consider yourself a religious person or not, I encourage you to take the time to truly reflect on the truth that there is a God and He created everything, including you.

The cosmos did not haphazardly fall into place and you are not some freak accident of nature. You are fearfully and wonderfully made (Psalm 139:14) and He's got the whole world in His hands.

Share this with your loved ones, your county's School Board and your local community newspaper. Let's get the truth out there.
