Creation Primer Lesson VI - the glory of God is the light

When he moved he made sound. There is light. There is darkness

He defined the light. He named it Day.

He defined the darkness. He named it Night.

Evening and morning make the first day.

The light and the darkness

Sources of light

• A source of light makes its own light. The glory of God is the source of all light. The sun and other stars, fires, torches and lamps all make their own light and so are examples of sources of light.
• Remember! You must never look directly at the sun. It is so bright that it can damage your eyes very quickly.
• Some animals, such as fireflies and glow-worms, are light sources. They make their own light to attract mates.
• A mirror is not a source of light. It doesn’t make its own light, it just reflects light.
• The moon is not a source of light. It reflects light from the sun.
• You would not be able to see a reflector of light, such as a mirror, in a completely dark room.

2. Seeing objects

• We see a light source when light from the source enters our eyes.
• When light from a light source hits an object, it is reflected (bounces off) and enters our eyes. This is how we see the object.

Genesis 1

1In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth.

2And the earth was without form, and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters.

3And God said, Let there be light: and there was light.

4And God saw the light, that it was good: and God divided the light from the darkness.

5And God called the light Day, and the darkness he called Night. And the evening and the morning were the first day.

Creation Primer Lesson VII - God is the heavy weight!

God created the heaven and the earth. They were created before they were. When it was dark and void God had the plan. He is the light to lighten the dark. God is the law to validate the void. He is the source of all the forces, the source from above! He is the "Heavy Weight" of all mass. He gives weight, length, and capacity to all things.

Forces in action

1. Gravity

• The force that makes things fall to the ground on Earth is called gravity.
• Gravity also holds Earth and the other planets in their orbits around the Sun.
• The force of gravity also exists on the moon but it is not as strong as it is on the Earth (this is because the moon is much smaller than the Earth).

2. Mass and weight

• The mass of an object is how much matter it contains. It is measured in grams (g) or kilograms (kg) but is NOT a force.
• The weight of an object is the force caused by gravity pulling down on the mass of an object. It is measured in Newtons (N).
• Weight is measured using a forcemeter. The bigger the weight attached to the forcemeter, the more the spring inside the forcemeter stretches.

3. Balanced forces

• Forces are just pushes and pulls in a particular direction.
• Forces are shown by arrows in diagrams. The direction of the arrow shows the direction in which the force is acting. The bigger the arrow, the bigger the force.
• If two forces are balanced, it means the forces are the same size but are acting in opposite directions.
• If two balanced forces are acting on an object, that object will not change its motion. If it is still, it will stay still. If it is moving, it will continue moving, in the same direction and at the same speed.

4. Unbalanced forces

• Unbalanced forces can make objects start to move, speed up, slow down, or change direction.

Creation Primer Lesson V - God sings a song!

Gen 1:2

And the earth was without form, and void; and darkness [was] upon the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters.

Have you ever wondered how God created sound? He moved. Movement is necessary in order to create vibration. vibration travels and this is sound! God is the creator and the conductor!

Here is a great activity on sound:

Isaiah 46:9-10 (King James Version)

⁹Remember the former things of old: for I am God, and there is none else; I am God, and there is none like me,

¹⁰Declaring the end from the beginning, and from ancient times the things that are not yet done, saying, My counsel shall stand, and I will do all my pleasure:

We believe that all the posterity of Adam, being thus fallen into perdition and ruin by the sin of our first parents, God then did manifest himself such as he is; that is to say, merciful and just: Merciful, since he delivers and preserves from this perdition all whom he, in his eternal and unchangeable council, of mere goodness hath elected in Christ Jesus our Lord, without respect to their works: Just, in leaving others in the fall and perdition wherein they have involved themselves. (Art. XVI)

The Westminster Confession of Faith (1643) says:

God from all eternity did by the most wise and holy counsel of his own will, freely and unchangeably ordain whatsoever comes to pass; yet so as thereby neither is God the author of sin; nor is violence offered to the will of the creatures, nor is the liberty or contingency of second causes taken away, but rather established.

By the decree of God, for the manifestation of his glory, some men and angels are predestinated unto everlasting life, and others foreordained to everlasting death.

As God hath appointed the elect unto glory, so hath He, by the eternal and most free purpose of His will, foreordained all the means thereunto. Wherefore, they who are elected . . . are effectually called unto faith in Christ by His Spirit working in due season, are justified, adopted, sanctified, and kept by His power. through faith, unto salvation. Neither are any other redeemed by Christ, effectually called, justified, adopted, sanctified, and saved, but the elect only.

The rest of mankind God was pleased, according to the unsearchable counsel of His own will, whereby He extendeth or withholdeth mercy, as He pleaseth, for the glory of His Sovereign power over His creatures, to pass by; and to ordain them to dishonour and wrath for their sin, to the praise of His glorious justice. (Chap. III — Articles I, III, VI and VII)
