Bible Dictionary

Creation
(the creation of all things is ascribed in the bible to god,and is the only reasonable account of the origin of the world.the method of creation is not stated in genesis, and as far asthe account there is concerned, each part of it may be, afterthe first acts of creation, by evolution, or by direct act ofgod s will. the word create (bara) is used but three times inthe first chapter of Genesis-- (1) as to the origin of matter;(2) as to the origin of life; (3) as to the origin of man ssoul; and science has always failed to do any of these actsthus ascribed to God. All other things are said to be made .The order of creation as given in Genesis is in close harmonywith the order as revealed by geology, and the account theregiven, so long before the records of the rocks were read or thetruth discoverable by man, is one of the strongest proofs thatthe Bible was inspired by God
