This week we’re looking at what Jesus said in the New Testament about creation. Well, when speaking to the religious leaders Jesus makes a parallel statement that compares the foundation of the world and the shedding of the blood of Abel, the son of Adam and Eve, who was murdered by his brother.

Now this parallel of creation and the time of Abel makes no sense if the foundations of the world were laid billions of years before Abel ever lived! But if Abel lived very close to creation, like Genesis teaches, Jesus’ statement makes perfect sense!

Yes, Abel lived right at the beginning of creation, just like Genesis teaches.
