This module has discussed the Method of Creation, the Time of Creation and the Purpose of Creation. In the Introduction, you read an Impact article which presented the "The Tenets of Creationism." It discussed how creationism can be studied and taught in any of three basic forms: Scientific creationism (no reliance on Biblical revelation, utilizing only scientific data to support and expound the creation model). Biblical creationism (no reliance on scientific data, using only the Bible to expound and defend the creation model). Scientific Biblical creationism (full reliance on Biblical revelation but also using scientific data to support and develop the creation model). In the Method of Creation section, we have examined the tri-universe of space-mass-time and considered how this "unity in diversity" manifests the Godhead in several ways. We also examined the process of creation by speaking things into existence. Time of Creation presented the meaning of the word "day," the implications of a recent creation, and young-earth responses to old-earth arguments. In the Purpose of Creation we discussed some purposes of creation. These included: to show the worthiness of God, to make creatures that could fellowship with Him, and to reveal the range of His moral attributes.
