12 Genesis Then God spoke to Noah, saying, 16. "Go out of the ark, you and your wife and your sons and your sons' wives with you. 17. "Bring out with you every living thing of all flesh that is with you, birds and animals and every creeping thing that creeps on the earth, that they may breed abundantly on the earth, and be fruitful and multiply on the earth." 18. So Noah went out, and his sons and his wife and his sons' wives with him.

13 God exists and created the world Scripture is true contains scientific truth Adam and Eve are the literal/historical father/mother of all humans Flood of Noah was Worldwide Current humans all come from 8 individuals Plants/animals reproduce only after their kind (no new species) Universe is the general revelation of God purpose of study is to know Him

23 Genesis 8 6. Then it came about at the end of forty days, that Noah opened the window of the ark which he had made; 7. and he sent out a raven, and it flew here and there until the water was dried up from the earth. 8. Then he sent out a dove from him, to see if the water was abated from the face of the land; 9. but the dove found no resting place for the sole of her foot, so she returned to him into the ark, for the water was on the surface of all the earth. Then he put out his hand and took her, and brought her into the ark to himself. 10. So he waited yet another seven days; and again he sent out the dove from the ark. 11. The dove came to him toward evening, and behold, in her beak was a freshly picked olive leaf. So Noah knew that the water was abated from the earth. 12. Then he waited yet another seven days, and sent out the dove; but she did not return to him again. 13. Now it came about in the six hundred and first year, in the first month, on the first of the month, the water was dried up from the earth. Then Noah removed the covering of the ark, and looked, and behold, the surface of the ground was dried up. 14. In the second month, on the twenty-seventh day of the month, the earth was dry.
