Did We Come From Monkeys? NO! Let's Find Out Why!
ð Ages 8-10 | Upper Elementary
"In the beginning Elohim (God) created the heavens and the earth."
"So Elohim created the great sea creatures and every living thing that moves, with which the waters abounded, according to their kind, and every winged bird according to its kind. And Elohim saw that it was good."
"Then Elohim said, 'Let the earth bring forth the living creature according to its kind: cattle and creeping thing and beast of the earth, each according to its kind'; and it was so. And Elohim made the beast of the earth according to its kind, cattle according to its kind, and everything that creeps on the earth according to its kind. And Elohim saw that it was good."
"Then Elohim said, 'Let Us make man in Our image, according to Our likeness; let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, over the birds of the air, and over the cattle, over all the earth and over every creeping thing that creeps on the earth.' So Elohim created man in His own image; in the image of Elohim He created him; male and female He created them."
"Look now at the behemoth, which I made along with you; he eats grass like an ox. See now, his strength is in his hips, and his power is in his stomach muscles. He moves his tail like a cedar; the sinews of his thighs are tightly knit. His bones are like beams of bronze, his ribs like bars of iron."
| Topic | â Bible Truth (Creation) | â Evolution Lie (Schools Teach) |
|---|---|---|
| How did it start? | Yahuah spoke and created everything in 6 days | Big Bang explosion billions of years ago (no God needed) |
| How old is Earth? | About 6,000 years old (based on Bible genealogies) | 4.5 billion years old (they just guess!) |
| Where did humans come from? | Yahuah created Adam from dust, Eve from Adam's rib | Humans evolved from ape-like creatures over millions of years |
| Can animals change? | Yes! Dogs can be different sizes and colors (variation), but a dog is ALWAYS a dog! | Yes! They say fish became amphibians, amphibians became reptiles, reptiles became birds and mammals (impossible!) |
| What about dinosaurs? | Dinosaurs (dragons) lived with people. Many died in Noah's Flood. Some survived until recently! | Dinosaurs died 65 million years ago, way before humans existed |
| What are fossils? | Dead animals buried quickly by Noah's Flood about 4,400 years ago | Animals that died slowly over millions of years |
| Are we special? | YES! We're made in Yahuah's image. We have a soul and can know Him! | No. We're just smart animals, accidents of evolution |
The word "dinosaur" wasn't invented until 1841. Before that, people called them DRAGONS! The Bible talks about dragons in many places:
All around the world, people drew pictures of creatures that look EXACTLY like dinosaurs:
Scientists have found:
Evolution says animals slowly changed from one kind to another. If that's true, we should find MILLIONS of "in-between" fossils (half-fish/half-amphibian, half-reptile/half-bird). But we DON'T!
Even famous evolutionist Stephen Jay Gould admitted: "The extreme rarity of transitional forms in the fossil record persists as the trade secret of paleontology."
Yahuah created animals according to their "kinds" (Genesis 1).
What CAN happen (Variation within a kind):
What CANNOT happen (Changing from one kind to another):
Why? Because the DNA information in each kind is LIMITED. Dogs have dog DNA. They can make different types of dogs (big, small, fluffy, short-haired), but they can't make NEW information to become a different kind of animal!
Evolution says fossils formed slowly over millions of years. But that doesn't make sense! Here's why:
â What Doesn't Work (Evolution Idea):
â What Makes Sense (Biblical Flood):
Evidence for the Flood:
NO! Humans have ALWAYS been humans, made in Yahuah's image (Genesis 1:27).
Famous "Missing Links" That Were LIES:
1. Piltdown Man (1912)
2. Nebraska Man (1922)
3. Lucy (1974)
The Truth: When you see pictures in textbooks of "ape-men," remember:
These pictures will help you see the evidence with your own eyes!
Stegosaurus Carving at Angkor Wat Temple
How did ancient people know what a Stegosaurus looked like? Because they saw them!
Soft Tissue in T-Rex Bone
Red blood cells found in dinosaur bone! This can't last millions of years!
Grand Canyon Rock Layers
These layers were formed by Noah's Flood, not millions of years!
Fossil Graveyard
Millions of fossils buried together - evidence of a catastrophic flood!
Different Dog Breeds
Great Dane and Chihuahua look different, but they're both DOGS! Variation within a kind!
Human vs. Ape Skull
Completely different! We didn't come from apes!
The very first verse in the Bible says: "In the beginning Elohim created the heavens and the earth" (Genesis 1:1).
This is VERY different from what most schools teach! Schools teach evolution - the idea that everything made itself over billions of years, with no God needed. But the Bible teaches CREATION - Yahuah spoke, and everything appeared!
Let's look at what the Bible says happened during Creation Week:
Notice that humans were created on Day 6 - the SAME DAY as land animals (including dinosaurs!). This means people and dinosaurs lived at the same time!
1. According to Genesis 1:1, who created the heavens and the earth?
Hint: Look at the very first Bible verse in the study guide!
2. How long did it take Yahuah to create everything?
Hint: Review the Creation Week timeline in the study guide!
3. When Genesis 1:21 says animals were created "according to their kind," what does that mean?
Hint: Check the comparison table in the study guide about what CAN and CAN'T happen!
4. On which day were humans created?
Hint: Look at the Creation Week timeline!
5. TRUE or FALSE: The Bible teaches that humans evolved from apes.
If this is false, what DOES the Bible say about how humans were made? (Check Genesis 1:26-27 in the study guide!)
6. According to the comparison table in the study guide, how old is the Earth according to the Bible?
Hint: Look at the "Creation vs. Evolution" comparison table!
Use the space below to draw what you think Day 6 of Creation looked like. Include:
[Draw your picture here]
Schools teach that dinosaurs died 65 million years ago, way before humans existed. But is that true? Let's see what the BIBLE says!
The word "dinosaur" wasn't invented until 1841. Before that, people called these creatures DRAGONS. And guess what? The Bible talks about dragons!
Behemoth (Job 40:15-24) - A huge land animal with:
Some people say this was a hippo or elephant. But NO hippo or elephant has a tail "like a cedar tree"! A hippo's tail is tiny! This sounds like a long-necked dinosaur (maybe a Brachiosaurus)!
Leviathan (Job 41) - A sea creature that:
This sounds like a sea dragon or marine reptile!
1. What did people call dinosaurs before the word "dinosaur" was invented in 1841?
Hint: Check "Cool Facts About Dinosaurs & the Bible" in the study guide!
2. In Job 40, what does it say about Behemoth's tail?
Hint: Read the Job 40:15-18 Scripture card in the study guide!
3. What did scientists find in some dinosaur bones that proves they can't be millions of years old?
Hint: Look at Fun Fact #3 in the study guide about "millions of years"!
4. TRUE or FALSE: Ancient people around the world drew pictures of creatures that look exactly like dinosaurs.
If this is true, give ONE example from the study guide!
5. Why does the Bible mention behemoth and leviathan?
Hint: Read the Key Point sections in the Scripture cards!
Match the creature with its description from the Bible!
| A. Behemoth | _____ Breathes fire, has tough scales |
| B. Leviathan | _____ Tail like a cedar tree |
| C. Dragons | _____ Mentioned 35 times in the Bible |
Hint: All the answers are in Fun Fact #1!
Have you ever wondered why there are SO MANY fossils? Billions of dead animals and plants, turned to rock, buried all over the world - even on top of mountains!
Evolution says fossils formed slowly over millions of years. But that doesn't make sense! When an animal dies today, it doesn't become a fossil. It either:
For an animal to become a fossil, it has to be buried QUICKLY - before scavengers eat it and before it rots!
The Bible tells us about a catastrophic event that buried billions of creatures quickly: NOAH'S FLOOD!
About 4,400 years ago (not millions of years!), Yahuah sent a worldwide flood because of human wickedness (Genesis 6-9). Water covered the ENTIRE earth, even the mountains!
This flood:
1. What has to happen to an animal for it to become a fossil?
Hint: Check the "Noah's Flood Explains Fossils" section in the study guide!
2. According to the Bible, about how long ago did Noah's Flood happen?
Hint: Look at the key concept box about Noah's Flood!
3. Why do we find fossils of sea creatures on TOP of mountains?
Hint: Check "Evidence for the Flood" in the study guide!
4. TRUE or FALSE: When an animal dies today in the wild, it usually becomes a fossil.
If this is false, what usually happens to dead animals? (Write your answer below!)
5. What are "fossil graveyards"?
Hint: Look at the "Evidence for the Flood" list!
Question: Imagine you're explaining to a friend why you believe in Noah's Flood. Give TWO pieces of evidence from the study guide that show the Flood really happened.
Hint: Check the "Evidence for the Flood" section - there are 4 pieces of evidence listed!
If evolution were true (animals slowly changing from one kind to another over millions of years), we should find MILLIONS of "in-between" fossils. These are called "transitional forms" or "missing links."
For example, if fish evolved into amphibians, we should find:
There should be MILLIONS of these "in-between" creatures! But guess what? We DON'T find them!
Instead, we find:
Even famous evolutionist Stephen Jay Gould admitted this is a huge problem. He said the extreme rarity of transitional forms is "the trade secret of paleontology" (the study of fossils).
This is exactly what the Bible predicts! Animals were created "according to their kinds" and have always been distinct kinds!
1. What is a "transitional form" or "missing link"?
Hint: Read the first paragraph of "Read This First" in this lesson!
2. If evolution were true, how many transitional fossils should we find?
Hint: Check Fun Fact #4 in the study guide!
3. What do we ACTUALLY find in the fossil record?
Hint: Read "What do we ACTUALLY find" in the study guide!
4. TRUE or FALSE: Piltdown Man was a famous "missing link" that turned out to be a fraud (fake).
If this is true, what was Piltdown Man actually made of? (Check the study guide!)
5. What does the sudden appearance of fully formed animals in the fossil record support?
Hint: Think about Genesis 1:21, 24-25 - what does it say about "kinds"?
Below are three famous "ape-men." Use the study guide to identify which ones were FRAUDS or MISTAKES!
1. Piltdown Man:
2. Nebraska Man:
3. Lucy:
Hint: All the answers are in the "Did Humans Come From Apes?" section!
You are NOT an accident! You are NOT just a smart animal! You are SPECIAL!
Genesis 1:26-27 says: "Then Elohim said, 'Let Us make man in Our image, according to Our likeness... So Elohim created man in His own image; in the image of Elohim He created him; male and female He created them.'"
What does "made in Yahuah's image" mean?
Animals don't have these abilities! Dogs can't pray. Cats can't write poetry. Monkeys can't build hospitals or study the stars!
Evolution says: "You're just a smart ape. You're an accident. There's no special purpose to your life."
The Bible says: "You're made in Yahuah's image! You're designed with a purpose - to know Him, love Him, and glorify Him forever!"
Which message gives you value and hope?
1. According to Genesis 1:26-27, in whose image were humans created?
Hint: Look at the Genesis 1:26-27 Scripture card in the study guide!
2. Which of these shows we are made in Yahuah's image?
Hint: Read the list of what "made in Yahuah's image" means!
3. What does evolution teach about human value?
Hint: Look at the comparison between what evolution says and what the Bible says!
4. TRUE or FALSE: Animals can pray, worship, and have a relationship with Yahuah just like humans.
If this is false, what is ONE thing humans can do that animals cannot? (Write below!)
5. Why is it important to know you're made in Yahuah's image?
Hint: Think about how this changes your understanding of who you are!
Question: Now that you've learned you're made in Yahuah's image (not evolved from animals), how does that change how you see yourself? What makes you special?
1. What is the MAIN difference between Creation and Evolution?
2. List THREE pieces of evidence that show evolution is false:
3. Why is it important to believe what the Bible says about Creation instead of what schools teach about evolution?

Without looking back at the lessons, try to answer these questions:
1. How many days did Yahuah take to create everything?
2. What two animals from Job sound like dinosaurs?
3. What event created most of the fossils we find today?
4. Why are you special according to the Bible?
I got _____ out of 4 correct! (Check your answers in the lessons, then mark how many you got right.)
The best way to remember something is to teach it to someone else! Choose a topic and teach it:
I explained why Creation (not evolution) is true to: ____________________
I told someone about Behemoth and Leviathan (dinosaurs in the Bible): ____________________
I explained how fossils formed during Noah's Flood to: ____________________
I told someone they are made in Yahuah's image and are special: ____________________
What questions did they ask?
Memorization Practice:
Day 1: Read both verses 3 times
Day 2: Say Genesis 1:1 without looking
Day 3: Say Genesis 1:27 without looking
Day 4: Write both verses from memory
Day 5: Recite both verses to a parent/teacher
What will you DO with what you've learned? Check the ones you commit to:
When I hear evolution taught at school, I will remember what the Bible says is true
I will share Creation evidence with a friend this week
I will thank Yahuah for making me special and in His image
I will look for more Creation vs Evolution evidence to learn
I will remember that I am NOT an accident - Yahuah made me on purpose!
