1. Who is our creator?

2. The theory of a 6 day creation has been around approximately 2,000 years. The creation account can be found in the first two chapters of Genesis in the Bible.

3. Russian Chemist A.I. Oparin and English Geneticist J.B.S. Haldane both came up with the theory on their own in 1920. In 1950, Stanley Miller, a chemist, and Harold Urey, a physicist, did a well-known experiment to test the theory.

4. The creation account found in the Bible states that the earth was “formless and empty, darkness was over the surface of the deep, and the Spirit of God was hovering over the waters.” On the first day, God created light and darkness. He separated the light from the dark and created night and day.

5. On the second day, God separated the waters with a vault. He called the vault “sky.” On the third day, God made the water under the sky gather to make dry ground. The dry ground He called “land” and the gathered waters “seas.”God also made plants grow on the land.

6. On the fourth day, God created the sun, moon, and stars to make the day lighter, and the night dimmer. God also separated day from night. He did this to mark the seasons, days, and years. On the fifth day God created every living creature of the water and every creature of the air. He blessed them to multiply and fill the earth with life.

7. On day six, God created animals to fill the earth. He also created the first man, Adam, and woman, Eve, in His own image. He blessed Adam and Eve and told them to increase in number and to rule over all living creatures. On the seventh day, God saw all that He created was good and He rested. He blessed that seventh day and made it holy.

8. The Primordial Soup theory states that the beginning earth had no oxygen, but methane, hydrogen, water vapor, and ammonia. When these chemicals are mixed, they contain elements carbon and nitrogen, which can make amino acids if they are arranged right.

9. Alexandr Oparin and John Haldane both said that life began in oceans. They believed when the gases were mixed with energy from lightning strikes, amino acids could be formed. In 1953, the theory was tested by Stanley Miller and Harold Urey. They combined the gases and stimulated an ocean.

10. The men used electric shocks to make amino acids and other organic compounds. Almost fifteen percent of the carbon in the handmade ocean turned into organic building blocks in a week. This seemed to prove that life on earth could have spontaneously happened from nonorganic ingredients.

11. After looking researching both theories, I believe that the Creation theory gives a better explanation of how life on earth began. I believe this since the experiments made in the Primordial Soup theory had some major glitches. For instance, the experiment required constant lightning strikes, which was not very common on early earth.

12. Also further research has been done on early earth, and it was discovered that there was not as much methane as previously thought. Methane was a great source of carbon, so this would greatly reduce the number of organic molecules even more.

13. The galaxies move so quickly that they would not be in their original clusters if the earth was millions of years old. Also since 1846, scientists have studied the shrinkage of the sun’s diameter. It shrinks about 5 feet per hour. At this rate, 50,000 years ago the sun would have been so big, it would vaporize the oceans making life on earth impossible. 100,000 years ago the sun would have been twice as large

14. So in conclusion, there were many things wrong with the Primordial Soup theory. We saw this by looking at the flaws of the experiments and looked at two truths that proof the theory to be very questionable in it’s reliability and reality. Many people are unwilling to even consider God making the earth in six literal days, it takes faith in God to know He created everything, and trust in the Bible that the Creation story was written correctly.
