God created everything in six literal days, around 6,000 years ago, and it was “very good.”
The 7 C’s serve as a foundational history that explains humanity’s origins, the brokenness of the world, and the hope of salvation through Jesus Christ. They connect biblical events to various fields of study, such as biology, anthropology, and geology, providing a comprehensive worldview based on scripture.
The 7 C’s of History include Creation, which refers to God creating the world; Corruption, representing Adam’s sin; Catastrophe, which is the global flood; Confusion, the scattering of people and languages at Babel; Christ, the coming of Jesus; Cross, His crucifixion; and Consummation, the future restoration of creation. Each event highlights significant moments in a biblical worldview of history.
