Year 8 RE Lesson: Creation – Does the Biblical Account Prove the Existence of God?
School logos have been removed from the PPT.
This lesson explores whether the Genesis creation story can be seen as evidence that God exists. Pupils study Genesis 1 and John 1, reflecting on ideas of God’s power, order, and purpose. They also compare the biblical narrative to the scientific Big Bang theory, considering similarities, differences, and whether faith or evidence is more convincing. Activities include guided reading, a storyboard of the six days of creation, comprehension questions, and extended writing evaluating both perspectives.
Learning aims:
Summarise the Genesis 1 creation account and its key messages
Explain how Christians see creation as proof of God’s existence
Compare the biblical account with scientific explanations like the Big Bang
Evaluate whether creation stories can be considered evidence of God
Includes PowerPoint slides, structured tasks, writing frames, and discussion questions ready to teach.
