Although Creation Sabbath started during 2009 as a reaction to strong evolutionary propaganda celebrating anniversaries of Darwin’s birth in 1809 and the 1859 publication of his theory of evolution in The Origin of Species, the Creation message is much more than the creation-evolution debate.
Creation Sabbath falls on the fourth Sabbath of each October, so this year it will be celebrated on October 28th. This is a specially designated Sabbath in the Adventist Church’s Calendar of Special Days.
This event is organized by the Seventh-day Adventist Church's Geoscience Research Institute, also known as GRI.
Creation Sabbath is set aside for contemplation of God’s grace in creating the world for our habitation, recognizing our responsibility to care for what God made, and seizing the opportunity to learn from His works. It is a reminder that “the Sabbath was made for man” (Mark 2:27), a liberating time to remember that our lives are given and sustained by the Creator God whose very definition is love.
Scientists tell us that in our galaxy alone, known as "The Milky Way," there are anywhere from 100 to 400 billion stars. And that's just one galaxy! Due to amazing research with space telescopes, scientists now estimate there are at least two trillion galaxies in the observable universe, which together contain at least ten billion trillion stars!
And the wonders of space are just one aspect of nature revealing the glories of God's amazing work of Creation. Those who study the incredible world of molecular biology can testify to the amazing design found within even the smallest of living organisms. When we look at ourselves, we humans have multiple TRILLIONS of cells in our bodies, and even more amazingly, an adult human body is made up of around 7 OCTILLION atoms? Some claim that these amazingly organized and integrated systems resulted from unguided interactions among the atoms!
