Use a Digital Interactive Notebook copy : Creation – 4000 B.C.

**We believe in “Young Earth Creationism” and teach from that viewpoint. If you have an issue with this view feel free to skip over the first few units that will discuss that view and move on down the timeline to a time with less controversy. Thanks!

I may use resources that talk about “The Big Bang Theory.” I simply explain to my kids the timing is off and what the word “theory” means. I find no problem with this because I believe that God said, “Let there be light!” and *BANG* there was light! The “bang” that evolutionists believe in, came after the spoken word of GOD!

Controversial as the movie Noah was, I really like how he told the story of Creation. Watch the clip! Here is a great article that helps explain some of the controversial points of the movie in case you are interested. Daily News: The ‘Noah’ Movie Controversies.
