eternally existing God of creation. The marvel of reproductive process, and the almost-infinite
complexity programmed into the genetic systems of plants and animals are inexplicably complex except
by special creation. The account of creation in Genesis is the only rational explanation.

Origin of man
Man is the most highly developed and organized entity in the known universe. He is complex and
capable of very difficult and complex activities, thoughts, behaviors, and interrelations. To suggest that
man is nothing more than the random act of time and chance as organisms evolved through billions of
years of mutations and random occurrence is absurd. The true record of man’s creation is recorded in
Genesis.

Origin of the Sexes
When God created the animals and man, he made male and female and created the reproductive
systems in each. He made males typically with more muscle mass, more bone mass, and lower
percentage of body fat than women. He designed women to be able to protect and give birth to
offspring. He created their hormonal systems to differ significantly. In fact, there are thousand of
physiological and anatomical difference, yet united, they complement one another in almost every way.
Society that is rebellion against God refused to recognize that God created male and female, and that is
all the sexes He created.

Origin of marriage
When you think about it, the idea that marriage as it universally exists today (or
until recently) evolved is preposterous. Marriage finds its roots in Genesis as
monogamous, patriarchal, social-stabilizing, and procreative. Only after the fall
does polygamy, infanticide, matriarchy, homosexuality, and promiscuity come
into existence.

Origin of evil
The concepts of goodness, truth, beauty, love, etc. find their origin not in society, but ultimately in the
Creator Himself. They are characteristics fundamental to His very nature and He has expressed them in
His creation. The presence of physical and moral evil in the universe is explained in Genesis. However,
evil is explained as temporary and a deviation from the perfect, as an intruder into God’s design. It is
the absence of the nature and character of God. God explains in Genesis that evil will exist for a season
but will ultimately be crushed through our Kinsman Redeemer.

Origin of language
Not only does Genesis describe the variety of languages that we hear, but also explains the difference
between the chattering of animals and the symbols, and specificity of human language. To think that
language could have developed by random chance from the grunting of animals to modern language is
absurd and the only logical account of language development is recorded in Genesis.

Origin of government
The development of organized government is recorded in Genesis with man not only responsible for his
actions but also for the maintenance of orderly social structures through systems of laws and
punishments.
