Denver Society of
Creation
November 2, 2017
Happy 1st Anniversary!
Our Mission
The Denver Society of Creation is a non-profit
501 (c) (3) organization dedicated to promoting
a clear understanding of the Doctrine of
Creation, recognizing that it is the foundation for
other Christian doctrine. We present the Biblical
account of Creation (creation in six 24-hour
days about 6000 years ago and a global flood)
as true and we demonstrate that the theory of
evolution is an attack on Biblical Christian
teachings which causes many to reject the
Christian faith.

Testimony From a High School Student
“…These past three years in high school have shown me
how hard it can be to be the minority. Sadly, these days in
school, you are in the minority if you believe in God and
stand up for your beliefs. At this time in school, all we were
learning in science class was Evolution and the Big Bang
theory. I didn’t understand any of it.
How could someone teach this as truth when it’s just another
theory? Why does no one think that Creation could be the
truth to how we all began? Often I would be the only one
wanting to challenge these theories. In turn, I was
sometimes criticized from a few teachers for actually
believing the Bible…
Testimony From a High School Student
Not until this year’s lesson on Creation at Ascension, did I
really begin to understand. As I learned, there is an
overwhelming amount of evidence that supports Creation,
it would honestly be crazy not to believe it. One of the most
important things I took away from this study is that, it is
important to believe all of creation, all. Because if you only
believe a little bit here and little there, it then gives the
impression that you can pick and choose what to believe in
the rest of the Bible.
Now, knowing this, it is even more important to me to be strong
in my faith and show others that you can believe all of it, and
have a complete trust in the Lord… “
