Christianity: The creation story
Christians believe that the universe didn’t just make itself but was designed and made by God.
God created all things that exist ex nihilo “out of nothing’.
We have looked at this before, so it is a great way for recap!

1.1 The origins of the universe
Christianity P86-87 Islam: 74-75
• Explore religious beliefs about the origins of the universe.
• Understand the Big Bang theory and religious responses to this.
Remember Christians and Muslims have very similar beliefs about the origins of the universe.
The sacred text in the religions state that the universe was created by God in six days (phases).
According to these religious texts, before time existed, only God existed, and he created the
universe with his divine word.
Islam: The creation story
• Although some translations of the Qur’an do refer to days, most Muslims understand the
original text to mean six phases, or periods of time. As a day (24 hours) is something which
humans have invented.
• Unlike the Bible, the Qur’an does not specify exactly what took place on which period, but it
does describe at various points some of God’s creation.
Task D: Watch the video on Muslim beliefs about the creation story and note their beliefs
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YKYptpzmvdo
Task E: Explain what the quotes teach Muslims about creation
“Your Lord is God, who created the
heavens and earth in six Days, then
established Himself on the throne; He
makes the night cover the day in swift
pursuit; He created the sun, moon and
stars to be subservient to His command.
All creation and all command belong to
Him. Exalted be God, Lord of all the
worlds!”
Qur’an 7:54

1.1 The origins of the universe
Christianity P86-87 Islam: 74-75
• Explore religious beliefs about the origins of the universe.
• Understand the Big Bang theory and religious responses to this.
“And We put firm mountains on the
earth, lest it should sway under
them, and set broad paths on it, so
that they might follow the right
direction, and We have made the
sky as a well-secured canopy- yet
from its wonders they turn away. It
is He who created night and days,
the sun and the moon, each floating
in its orbit.”
Qur’an 21:31-33
• Once creation had taken place, the Qur’an does not mention a day of rest (unlike the Bible).
• It describes how, after the six periods of creating the heavens and the earth, God then
organised the whole universe to be under his watchful command, and befitting is glory.
• Muslims believe that God’s work and creation never ends as it continues with every new birth
and every new seed that grows.
Task F: Explain what the quotes teach Muslims about creation
“Vegetation come out of good land
in abundance, by the will of its
Lord.”
Qur’an 7:58

• Explore religious beliefs about the origins of the universe.
• Understand the Big Bang theory and religious responses to this.
Task H: Using P87 (Christianity) Explain how Fundamentalist Christians and Liberal Christian will
interpret the Genesis story.
The Big Bang Theory
• According to cosmologists the world, all the planets and our sun came form dense clouds of
gas.
• These clouds collapsed and the pressure of their mass gave enough energy to turn hydrogen
to helium.
• This is how a sun like ours is created.
• They also believe that the entire universe came from a single massive explosion, 10 to 20
billion years ago.
• Generally it is pointed to 14.7 billion years ago, but it’s not definite.
• This explosion is called The Big Bang Theory.
Task I: Explain what the Big Bang Theory is in your own words. Use P87 (Christianity) and the internet

81.2 The Value of the world
Christianity P88-89 Islam: 76-77
• Understand religious beliefs about the value of the world and the duty/ responsibility human
beings have to protect it.
Christian views towards stewardship
• Christians believe that God has given humans the privilege of living on plant Earth but with
the responsibility of looking after it and preventing it from being ruined.
• There is only one planet Earth and it cannot be replaced.
• This special responsibly to protect and care for the earth is known as stewardship.
• In Genesis 2, Adam was given the task of looking after the garden of Eden.
• As stewards of the natural world, Christians believe that people have been appointed by God
to respect and manage the world, working with nature to preserve what God has given..
• In return we are able to use what is provided in a sustainable way for our survival.
• Many Christians believe that they will be accountable to God concerning how week they looked
after the Earth.
Muslim views on stewardship
• The Qur’an says that God created the world and gave humans the responsibility of taking
care of the planet.
• In Islam this is referred to as stewardship (khalifah).
• Both Sunni and Shi’a Muslims believe that people are stewards who should protect the
environment.
• Their duty as trustees it to look after the world for God and for future generations and to
strive to maintain the harmony and balance which was created.
• On the Day of Judgement, humans will be answerable to God concerning how well they have
fulfilled this role.
• In the Qur’an, it explains that the laws of his creations should not be altered.
• The central belief in the Tawhid is at the heart of Muslim beliefs about looking after the
environment.
• This recognizes that God is the creator and we are responsible to him for all our actions.
Task D: Explain what the quotes teach Muslims about stewardship
“It is He who had made
you successors on the
earth.”
Qur’an 6:165
“It is God that
everything in the
heavens and earth
belongs: God is fully
aware of all things.”
Qur’an 4:126
Christian views on Dominion
• Christians teach that humans were given the power and authority to rule over the world.
• This is known as dominion.
91.2 The Value of the world
Christianity P88-89 Islam: 76-77
• Understand religious beliefs about the value of the world and the duty/ responsibility human
beings have to protect it.
Task E: Explain how the quote links to dominion and what the quote teaches Christians
“God blessed them and said to
them, ‘Be fruitful and increase in
number; fill the earth and subdue
it. Rule over the fish in the sea and
the birds in the sky and over every
living creature that moves on the
ground.”
Genesis 1:8
•A small amount of Christians have interpreted ‘subduing the world’ as meaning that people can do
what they like with it and everything in it because they are in charge. (Another way of
interpreting the quote)
•The majority of Christians believe that humans have been entrusted to be caretakers
(stewards) of God’s world. They can’t damage the world even if it benefits them.
Task F: In your extended writing tasks, you need to use PEE (point, evidence, explain) to
structure your work.
On the next page, you have 8 points, 8 pieces of evidence, and 8 explanations. You have two
tasks:
1) Decide whether or not these views are of STEWARDSHIP or DOMINION. Shade
stewardship views in GREEN, and dominion views in RED.
2) Match up each point with the evidence and explanation (one has been done for you as an
example).
GRADE 7+ (Looking for Level 4,10-12/12) Rank each argument, from most to least convincing.
Do you agree more with the stewardship view, or the dominion view? This links to your analysis-
Why is the point/ PEE chain a good argument or a weak one? Explain

every year.
• When you throw plastic bags and other plastic materials in the ocean, it kills as many as 1
million sea creatures annually. Plastic take 450 years just to begin decomposing. It takes
another 50 to 80 years to be completely decomposed. This also means that every single

Facts about using animals for food:
• 90% of people in the UK eat meat
• It is a good source of protein, vitamins, minerals especially vitamin B12 which is only found
in food from animals eg meat and milk
• A vegetarian does not eat any meat, poultry, game, fish, shellfish or crustacea, or the by-
products of slaughter.

Survey. In a UK-wide survey of 1,491 adults and 1,582 children between 2008 - 2011 2% of
both adults and children reported that they were vegetarian.
• The number of committed vegetarians has actually remained fairly stable over the last ten
years. The real growth area is in meat reducers. These are people who haven't given up meat
completely, but are making a conscious effort to eat less of it. The value of the vegetarian
food market has grown from £333million in 1996 to £786.5million in 2011 (Mintel), showing
that a lot more vegetarian food is being eaten throughout the country.

Muslim views towards eating meat:
• Muslims are only allowed to eat meat that has been killed according to Shar’iah law.
• For food to be halal (permissible) it must have been farmed and slaughtered according to
Muslim teaching.
• This involves killing the animals ‘in the name of God’.
• A sharp knife is used to cut the throat, windpipe and the blood vessels in the neck and the
blood is drained.
• This must not take place in front of other animals.
• The Qur’an expressly forbids the eating of pig meat and it is also haram to eat any animal
which has not been ritually slaughtered or has died in the wild.

not..
