From the very start, God was and still is the creator of all things. Genesis one through two explains exactly how God formed the Earth into what it is today. This time was pivotal to all mankind because it is when God decided the world needed many things, including humans. The following is what many followers of Christ and what I believe is the origin of the universe.

Moving forward, many people outside of Christian beliefs believe that we derived from monkeys. Researchers have found fossils of homo sapiens having a “prominent chin and highly inflated brain case” of the way today’s people look (Retallack, 2016, P.1).
