Over the next two weeks, we’re looking at ten reasons every Christian should be a creationist. Number one: God is always good.

Throughout the creation week, God describes what he’s made as “good” and then as “very good.” Now, if God used millions of years of death and suffering to bring about creation, what did he mean by “good”? Does God view death, suffering, and extinction as “good”? What kind of a good, loving God is that?

But if God created in six literal 24-hour days as he said he did, there’s no problem! There was no death or suffering before sin, so God’s creation was truly good because God is good.
