I can evaluate the Catholic view on the origins of the universe and those of CreationistsSlide3

The Beginning

In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth.  

Now the earth was formless and empty, darkness was over the surface of the deep, and the Spirit of God was hovering over the waters. And God said, “Let there be light,” and there was light.  God saw that the light was good, and he separated the light from the darkness. God called the light “day,” and the darkness he called “night.” And there was evening, and there was morning—the first day. And God said, “Let there be a vault between the waters to separate water from water.”  So God made the vault and separated the water under the vault from the water above it. And it was so.  God called the vault “sky.” And there was evening, and there was morning—the second day. And God said, “Let the water under the sky be gathered to one place, and let dry ground appear.” And it was so. God called the dry ground “land,” and the gathered waters he called “seas.” And God saw that it was good.T hen

God said, “Let the land produce vegetation: seed-bearing plants and trees on the land that bear fruit with seed in it, according to their various kinds.” And it was so. 

The

land produced vegetation: plants bearing seed according to their kinds and trees bearing fruit with seed in it according to their kinds. And God saw that it was good.

And

there was evening, and there was morning—the third

day.

And

God said, “Let there be lights in the vault of the sky to separate the day from the night, and let them serve as signs to mark sacred times, and days and years, 

and

let them be lights in the vault of the sky to give light on the earth.” And it was so. 

God

made two great lights—the greater light to govern the day and the lesser light to govern the night. He also made the stars. 

God

set them in the vault of the sky to give light on the earth, 

to govern the day and the night, and to separate light from darkness. And God saw that it was good. 

And there was evening, and there was morning—the fourth

day.

And

God said, “Let the water teem with living creatures, and let birds fly above the earth across the vault of the sky.” 

So God

created the

great creatures of the sea and every living thing with which the water teems and that moves about in it, according to their kinds, and every winged bird according to its kind. And God saw that it was good. 

God blessed them and said, “Be fruitful and increase in number and fill the water in the seas, and let the birds increase on the earth.” 

And

there was evening, and there was morning—the fifth day.

And

God said, “Let the land produce living creatures according to their kinds: the livestock, the creatures that move along the ground, and the wild animals, each according to its kind.” And it was so. 

God

made the wild animals according to their kinds, the livestock according to their kinds, and all the creatures that move along the ground according to their kinds. And God saw that it was good

.

Then

God said, “Let us make mankind in our image, in our likeness, so that they may rule over the fish in the sea and the birds in the sky, over the livestock and all the wild

animals, and

over all the creatures that move along the ground.”

So

God created mankind in his own

image, in

the image of God he created

them; male

and female he created them.

God

blessed them and said to them, “Be fruitful and increase in number; fill the earth and subdue it. Rule over the fish in the sea and the birds in the sky and over every living creature that moves on the ground

.”

Then

God said, “I give you every seed-bearing plant on the face of the whole earth and every tree that has fruit with seed in it. They will be yours for food. 

And

to all the beasts of the earth and all the birds in the sky and all the creatures that move along the ground—everything that has the breath of life in it—I give every green plant for food.” And it was so.

God

saw all that he had made, and it was very good. And there was evening, and there was morning—the sixth day.Slide7

What does the

Catholic church believe about Genesis?

The creation stories are mythical (there are 2 different creation stories – lets check Genesis 2 The Garden of Eden)But the Church believes that there are still ‘truths’ that are revealed through this story. What ‘truths’ do you think these stories reveal about God? About the world? About people? - Mindmap answers about the ‘truths’ Slide8

Mythical truths in Genesis

God created the world and everything in itGod loves his creation

Man was created by God and put in charge of the world and all of its creatures and plantsPeople are naturally curiousPeople are naturally disobedientOur world is not perfectThere is pain and suffering in our world Slide9

Who first thought up the big bang theory?

So if a Catholic priest helped theorise about the Big Bang, what do you think the Catholic Church thinks about it?

Watch!Slide15

The Catholic view on the origins of the universe

God created the universe out of nothing (what is the key concept?)God created the universe with a single act of creation (The Big Bang)

There was nothing except God before big band occurredThe stories in Genesis were written to explain the nature of God; the nature of man; our responsibilities to God’s creationSlide16

Activity:

If a generation is on average 70 years in length (a generation is a group of people born roughly about the same time such as in the 1980’s) and the Great Fire of London happened in the year 1666, how many generations have been born since that time up until 2016
