Michael finishes his study of Genesis chapter 1 by examining the fifth and sixth days of creation. In these passages we'll see God generate some of His most sophisticated creations. On the fifth day He creates all aquatic life and all birds. On the sixth day He creates the higher order land animals as well as those creatures which creep along the ground. Why is it important that God created all things according to their kinds? What does that tell us about competing meta narratives like evolution? On the second part of the sixth day God creates the crown-jewel of all His work: human beings. Expect to learn about the notable difference in His creative process for humans from all else He created. The chapter finishes with God evaluating all He had made and declaring it to be very good. What are the implications of this declaration for the redemptive gospel of Jesus Christ?
