Question 5

Question
Choose all the statements that reflect a fundamental Christian attitude towards the roles of science, religion and the Bible
Answer
  • Evolution is the best explanation that we currently have for the existence of our species. Evolution does not rule our the role of God
  • Evolution cannot be true. The Bible is inerrant and contains the complete truth. There is a fixity of species.
  • Science and religion are not necessarily opposed. It is possible to believe in the big bang and the Genesis creation stories
  • God created the universe by his very word. The Big Bang cannot be true.
  • The Bible is literally the word of God. If it is contained in the Bible it is historically, scientifically and theologically true.
  • The Bible is a collection of books from many different genres. It requires careful, scholarly interpretation to arrive at the truth.
  • Adam and Eve were the first 2 people on earth. We are physical descendants of Adam and Eve
  • Adam and Eve represent humanity and the creation stories are myths - containing theological not scientific truths.

Question 6

Question
Complete the following paragraph: Genesis 1 deals with the [blank_start]7 days of creation[blank_end]. Genesis 2 deals with the creation of [blank_start]Adam and Eve[blank_end]. Both these stories reveal [blank_start]theological truths[blank_end] (truths about God). For example, both show God creating ex nihilo; this shows that God is [blank_start]omnipotent[blank_end]. God is also [blank_start]omnibenevolent[blank_end] because he makes human beings in his image and likeness. The theological term for this is '[blank_start]Imago Dei[blank_end].'
