Day One: God Created Light, Genesis 1:3-5
There was light, but no source
It was good
God divided light and darkness, how?
the light had a singular point of origin
the world the light was viewed from began to turn
evening and morning, one full literal day
day age theory is out the window
gap theory was out the window last week
creation and evolution are polar opposites and cannot be reconciled
Day Two: God Created a Firmament, Ge 1.6-8
“firmament” means expanse and refers to the sky
waters divided (water below, sea, and water above, now gone)
waters above the sky would have made for a green house scenario on earth
evening and morning, one full literal day
Day Three: God Created Land, Ge 1.9-13
God separated seas and land
God caused the earth to produce plants
The reproductive limitations of kind and the law of first mention
evening and morning, one full literal day
Day Four: God Created Lights, Ge 1.14-19
“firmament of the heavens” the expanse above it all, not the expanse between
first lights are stars
greater light is sun
lesser light is moon
all created fully visible, we will see the appearance of age throughout creation
evening and morning, a full literal day
Day Five: God Created Sea Creatures and Sky Creatures Ge 1.20-23
sea and sky were populated
“according to their kind” emphasizes the limitation of animal species which will reproduce, like plants, within set limitations
evening and morning, one full literal day
Day Six: God Created Land Creatures Ge 1.24-31
according to its kind, land creatures, like plants, like sea creatures, and like sky creatures, would be limited in their reproductive capacity to their own kind
man is made in the image of God, something we will revisit
man was made to have dominion
rule over creation
subjugate creation
man was originally vegetarian
evening and morning, one full literal day
Day Seven: God Rested Ge 2.1-3
Everything was created in six days
God ended His work of creation and rested on day 7
There is an observable pattern in creation days that continues what we have already seen of God as an attentive artist layering elements atop each other:
Days 1 & 4 - Light | Lights
Days 2 & 5 - Sea & Sky | Sea Creatures & Sky Creatures
Days 3 & 6 - Land | Land Creatures
There is also an observable focus on individual days and individual kinds that precludes evolution as a possibility
The question for us is one of trust: who are we going to trust with the answer to the question of how did we get here?
