The Apostles' Creed: Session # 5 Creator of Heaven and Earth

The Apostle’s Creed and Genesis affirm that God, as the eternal, infinite, and all-powerful Creator, intentionally made the heavens and earth, contrasting with nihilistic views that attribute creation to chance and deny human purpose or morality. Creation exists to glorify God, as seen in scriptures like Psalms and Colossians, with humans uniquely made in God’s image, endowed with dignity, dominion over the earth, and the capacity for moral discernment. Various Christian perspectives on creation—such as young earth creationism, theistic evolution, day-age theory, and gap theory—interpret the Genesis account differently, but all emphasize God’s sovereign role in creation.
