The Trip to the Creation Museum and "Answers for Teachers"
The Trip to the Creation Museum and Answers for Teachers
Aside from spending three days with the CCA staff and enjoying my time learning more about our amazing staff, the best part was what I learned about our awesome God. The museum and courses attended were an experience that I am not sure I can put into words. I know the teachers wondered if studying creation and Genesis would be something relevant and new for each of them.
Genesis is the foundation to everything we believe. It is relevant to everything we teach our students. It is interesting the number of times Jesus referred to scriptures in Genesis when He was explaining to people the ideas of faith, marriage, and who He is. If we are to teach our students a Biblical view of their world, it begins in Genesis.
It was enlightening to see how the teachings of Darwin and evolution can be refuted with scientific data. As we specifically studied the literal six days of creation, I gained a new respect and awe of our God. I began to reflect that when God created something. He created it before He created a means to produce it. He leaves no doubt of His awesome greatness and power. For example, God created light before He creates sources of light like the sun. God created the air before He created plants that would produce it. The fall of man led to our imperfect world and we were taught the specifics to how sin changed God's creation into the sinful world we live in. The specifics to the flood and Noah's ark were also presented in amazing scientific details. The exact same data that evolutionists use to prove their theories prove the Biblical account of the flood and that our world could not possibly be as old as evolutionists believe it to be. We were able to look at Biblical timelines of the lives of the Old Testament patriarchs and discovered who lived during the times of Adam and Noah.
This trip gave our staff a new found knowledge to teach our students specifics to their belief in an All-powerful, Biblical God. It was a trip well worth the time and effort. I'd recommend it to all our students and their families. We are adding to our school library some great resources. If you have questions and want Biblical answers, I recommend you watch or read these books and DVDs.
