Dive into God’s Word

on October 1, 2023

God tells us to search for wisdom and understanding (Proverbs 2:3–6). The best place to look is in the Bible! So grab your detective gear and let’s investigate Scripture, inspect clues, and discover all that God’s Word has to teach us.

The order of things is important. Think about when you get dressed. You put each piece of clothing on in a certain sequence—your socks before your shoes and your shirt before your coat.

Genesis 1 tells us the order that God created the world. But evolutionists believe the universe came into existence in a different order.

Let’s take a look at what God’s Word says and compare it to what evolutionists believe.

Read Genesis 1:1–2:3. Then type the order of events in the boxes.



Use what you learned to figure out if the order below is from the created order in Genesis or the idea of evolution.

  1. Earth before sun
  2. Earth before stars
  3. Light before sun
  4. Dry land before oceans
  5. Water before land
  6. Plants before sun
  7. Sea creatures before plants
  8. Birds before land animals
  9. Land animals before trees and plants
