March 6-7, 2010: The Beginning - Theories

A theory is an educated guess about how something happened or happens.

A theory is a combination of two things:

• Things we know to be true
• Things we suppose to be true.

In this way, a theory is kind of like a brick wall: we "build" our conclusions on facts and educated guesses. If the "bricks" of our wall are weak (or the facts we're using are wrong), the wall won't hold.

The Theory of Evolution is a theory about how the world came to be and where nature - plants, but especially animals and humans - came from.

The Bible teaches that God made the world and everything in it. Before God moved, the earth was without form and empty. (Gen. 1:2)
