FACT #1: The Trinity was actively involved in creation
In Genesis 1:1, the Hebrew word for God is Elohim and its a plural word. In the first Chapter of Genesis, the 26th
verse, when creating man, we see that the words "us" and "our" were used to show that more than one person was involved. The plurality in Genesis 1:1 and Genesis 1:26, clearly indicates that the TRINITY was involved in creation.
FACT #2: Everything that was created reproduces after its kind The seeds of an orange are designed to produce more oranges, lions produce lions and humans are designed to produce humans (Genesis 1:12) We vividly see this in our daily lives.
FACT #3: God sustains the world
God sustains creation, Read Colossians 1:17 and Hebrews 1:3
FACT #4: God created the world in 7 literal days
A lot of people argue that God did not make the earth in 7 literal days but 7000 years because the Bible says 1000 years is like 1 day with God. This is true! But the all powerful God I know created all things in 7 literal days and here is why.
I would like to ask you a question and pause a bit and think about it:
"How much period of time pass between one evening to another evening?"
The answer is obvious, 24 hours passes and that makes a day not a thousand years. Further, evening and morning makes a day not a thousand years.
FACT #5: God spoke the world into existence
God spoke everything into existence from nothing. When God spoke, it happened, when he commanded it, there was. Psalms 33:9
FACT #6: Man was created in God's own image
Genesis 1:27 indicates that man was created in his own image. This special privilege was given only to man.
FACT #6: God created man for a purpose
God created man for a purpose. To have a relationship with him, to have a relationship with others and to be stewards; for God gave man dominion over the earth. Psalms 57:2 supports this fact for it says that God completes our purpose in his plan.
FACT #8: Adam and Eve were created differently
We see from Genesis that God used hands to create Adam out of the dust of the ground whilst Eve was created out of Adam's rib (Genesis 2:21-22). Hence, Adam was created differently from Eve.
FACT #9: Sabbath is the memorial of creation
Exodus 20:8 clearly indicates that the 7th day is the day we need to observe and remember as well as to keep it holy.
