SEVEN Biblical teachings on creation that matter most:

1. God created the universe out of nothing.
2. Creation is distinct from God, yet always dependent on God.
3. God created the universe to show his glory.
4. The universe God created was very good.
5. There will be no final conflict between Scripture and science.
6. Theories that deny God as Creator, including Darwinian evolution, are clearly incompatible with belief in the Bible.
7. God created humankind in his image.
