OFFICIAL STATEMENT

"God has revealed in Scripture the authentic and historical account of His creative activity. He created the universe, and in arecent six-day creation the Lord made "the heavens and the earth, the sea, and all that is in them" and rested on the seventhday. Thus He established the Sabbath as a perpetual memorial of the work He performed and completed during six literaldays that together with the Sabbath constituted the same unit of time that we call a week today. The first man and womanwere made in the image of God as the crowning work of Creation, given dominion over the world, and charged withresponsibility to care for it. When the world was finished it was "very good," declaring the glory of God." (Gen. 1-2; 5; 11;Exod. 20:8-11; Ps. 19:1-6; 33:6, 9; 104; Isa. 45:12, 18; Acts 17:24; Col. 1:16; Heb. 1:2; 11:3; Rev. 10:6; 14:7.)
