Creation was Supernatural, Sudden, Finished, Recent, Perfect

SSFRP Creation is the only structure of events that originates from Scripture.
All other positions originate elsewhere and must be
squeezed into Scripture using private interpretations.

SSFRP Creation is the Plain Meaning of all pertinent Bible texts.
Genesis 1,2,3; Ex:20:8-11; Psalms 33:6-9; etc.

SSFRP Creation is the Necessary Context for the Rest of the Bible
SSFRP Creation is the root for all major Bible doctrines.
It defines the doctrinal and Gospel elements.

SSFRP Creation Harmonizes the entire Biblical Worldview
John.1:1-3; Matt.19:4; Romans 1:18-21; 2Peter 3:1-9; etc.

SSFRP Creation is supported by all REAL Evidence.
As armies of unbelieving scientists search, their
every discovery opens new and greater mystery. So-called
"accidents of nature" look more like divine miracles.

SSFRP Creation is the only Completely Supernatural Account
All other views assign NATURAL acts to the supernatural Creator.

SSFRP Creation is Remarkably Consistent with all Scripture.
Date, Duration, Sequence, Ways, Purposes, etc.

SSFRP Creation is convincing a growing number of Scientists
(But this is not a reason to believe SSFRP creation.
That your faith should not rest on the wisdom of men
[even godly men] but on the power of God. 1Cor.2:5)

SUPERNATURAL Means...

Supernatural creation requires a supernatural Creator. A sensible person is forced to believe naturalistic origins if their God is not almighty. Naturalism says that physical reality is all there is. Supernatural actions require an All-powerful, All-wise, All-good, All-loving, living, perfect Creator intimately involved in every deliberate detail of His design. Without Him was not anything made that was made. During this special short period He worked in special ways and then stopped. This same Creator is now conserving and sustaining what He made. We only think this work is "natural" now because we can observe, measure and predict the repeating processes, but an almighty, sovereign God is operating and sustaining the processes.
"By Him do all things consist."


SUDDEN Means...
Exodus 20:9-11 was not just inspired by God but inscribed by Him. If you want something carved in stone —this is it! God wrote these words Himself, (the 10 commandments) with His finger on stone tablets. They were carried in the ark of the covenant, kept in the holy of holies and enforced with the death penalty. These, God's words, were not trivial for Israelites nor should they be for us. Six days you shall labor and do all your work, but the seventh is a Sabbath;
[...] in it you shall not do any work [...]
For, in six days the Lord made the heavens and the earth and all that is in them.

If, as the plain meaning of these words requires, "six" means 6, and "days" mean days, and "all" means all, then God, who cannot lie, is saying He made everything in 6 earth-rotations. God Himself had defined His term "day" when He separated night from day by His rotating earth.

And God called the light day, and the darkness He called night.
And there was evening and there was morning, one day. (Gen 1:5).

If God created anything outside those six days then He was moonlighting. If an Israelite did this, he was put to death. (Ex.31:12-18) What kind of god could enforce a model that He himself had violated? Every parent knows the dishonesty and disaster in setting a bad example.

If creation days were long periods, then how long were Israelites supposed to work... for 6000 years, then rest for 1000? Ridiculous!
If God's days were not literal days, then we and the Israelites could interpret His days as weeks, months, eons or anything we like. But it was the plain meaning of this text that was enforced with the death penalty.


FINISHED Means...
And God saw every thing that he had made, and, behold, it was very good. And the evening and the morning were the sixth day. Thus the heavens and the earth were finished, and all the host of them. And on the seventh day God ended his work which he had made; and he rested on the seventh day from all his work which he had made. And God blessed the seventh day, and sanctified it: because that in it he had rested from all his work which God created and made. (Gen 1:31 -2:2)

This text underscores with repetition the completion of God's special creation work. His evaluation: "everything was very good," after He stopped His special work, meant that His perfect achievement revealed a perfect God. Nothing evil, like the "enemy" death, was present.

RECENT Means...
The genealogies of Genesis 5, 10 and 11 are just as inspired and inerrant as the rest of Scripture and occupy more pages in Genesis than the creation account. Although these precise Biblical calendars are ridiculed by skeptics, no other ancient records have earned as much trust from archaeologists.
They record only a few thousand years from Adam to Abraham.
Arguments over "difficulties" in genealogies cannot stretch thousands of years into millions, but serve only to undermine the authority and integrity of these vital Scriptures.

PERFECT Means...
Aside from the fact that a perfect Creator couldn't create anything less than a perfect cosmos without denying Himself, those who trust their Bible for the truth of their destiny can also trust it for the truth of their origin. To receive the salvation of the Bible they must accept that man fell from original perfection. That fall now causes us to be born in sin and in the helpless state where we need a Savior. Original sin in Eden was the cause of death, decay, disease and destruction. That intruder is what we are saved from. Salvation will return us to our original created state not to some new alien form.
