How important is Genesis 1:1? Henry Morris explains that "this one verse refutes all of man’s false philosophies concerning the origin and meaning of the world:

? It refutes atheism, because the universe was created by God.

? It refutes pantheism, for God is transcendent to that which He created.

? It refutes polytheism, for one God created all things.

? It refutes materialism, for matter had a beginning.

? It refutes dualism, because God was alone when He created.

? It refutes humanism, because God, not man, is the ultimate reality.

? It refutes evolutionism, because God created all things.
