Tyler Schuhly 1/27/15 Dr. Luther BIB 101 Pentateuch Genesis study assignment 1. There are two way to look at the creation accounts, since no theory has concrete evidence showing that the creation accounts differ or are exactly the same.

For instance in the first verses of Genesis it says, “In the beginning, God created the heavens and the earth. The earth was without form and void, and darkness was over the face of the deep (1:1,2).”

The first chapter of Genesis describes the process through which God created the world, over the course of seven “days.” It is fairly clear that this could not have been a literal set of seven days, because the “day” is defined as the time it takes the Earth to complete one rotation, and the sun was not even in position until the fourth “day,” and it is the interaction of the Earth and sun, with respect to gravity, that creates the rotation in the first place. However, the purpose of this was to establish a sense of grandeur in the process. The order in which the creation takes place has a sense of structure, to show planning, but it also shows the universe expanding in a glorious way throughout the entire process.

Although some may argue that many of the accounts described in the book should not be interpreted literally, it is clear from the context of Scripture that the stories are not allegorical. Since the Genesis accounts are literal, the book’s readers can depend on the validity of the rest of the Bible as a result. Everything in the book of Genesis, and the Bible as a whole, is applicable today. For instance, there are those that deny the existence of the nation of Israel.

Within the last ten years, the number of overweight and obese children has risen dramatically. Some people have blamed it partially on businesses advertising unhealthy food to children. They believe that young children do not have the mental capacity or maturity to discern when they are being manipulated into consuming junk food that is bad for them. As a result, several European countries have made the decision to ban advertisements that are normally aired on children’s television networks, because they feel that they are negatively affecting young viewers. Ethics plays a role in this issue as it has led to a rise of “questions of potential harm resulting from exposure,” according to the American Psychological Association (American Psychological Association, 2018).
