Can someone explain Genesis to me?

[quote]The First Day: God defined day and night. The Second Day: God creates the heavens. The Third Day: God creates the Earth, and plants. The Fourth Day: God creates the sun, moon, and stars. The Fifth Day: God creates animals. The Sixth Day: God creates man. The Seventh Day: God chilled.[/quote] God is all-powerful and all-knowing, correct? That means God doesn't make mistakes. Then why did God create plants before he created the sun? Plants need sunlight for photosynthesis. Operating on the assumption that the story of Gensis is not literal, and that it wasn't only the next day he created the sun, plants couldn't survive. Secondly, if God said "let there be light" on the first day, yet didn't create any light sources until the fourth day, what light did he create on the first day? Considering how important the Bible is, you would think that the first story of the Bible wouldn't start off with glaring problems.

  • Lol my good sir. You have unlocked the first level of exiting the matrix. Welcome. U may choose to step further down the rabbit hole or go back to your illusionary world and not read the rest. (This is not a joke so pay the hell attention) The bible has a direct connection to astrology, as well as the human body. Only an a true apostle can decode what ancestors left behind. Forget everything u have been taught in slavery to the world. The 7 days of creation started from darkness. Everything comes from darkness. From darkness let there be light. Darkness is actually every spectrum of light bending over on itself. It is completeness. If u sit back and listen to your soul u will feel this is just real. YouTube da13thsun. You have only out your foot in the water by challenging the bullshyt the demons have put out here. Acquire more skill points and put them into this.

      • Read Revelations. The sun and moon are hid from us, Jesus provides the light for witch we live. The Bible has a Lot of stuff like this, but reading different parts of the Bible clarifies it.

        • You have it a bit mixed up. And just from my own experience, I would not read Genesis first. I would read John first. Genesis can lead to a lot of questions if you're not full right with Christ and will cause a lot of doubts. ALSO, read the footnotes! They help tremendously. Actually written: The First Day: God created the Heavens and the Earth. There was only darkness and God said let there be light. Light(Day) was Good and had Holiness. Darkness(Night) was separated from the light and was empty. The Second Day: God created the sky. The sky forms a barrier between water upon the surface and the moisture in the air. At this point earth would have an atmosphere. The Third Day: God creates dry land. Continents and islands are above the water. The large bodies of water are named “seas” and the ground is named “land.” God declares that all this is good. The Fourth Day: God creates all the stars and heavenly bodies. The movement of these will help man track time. Two great heavenly bodies are made in relation to the earth. The first is the sun which is the primary source of light and the moon which reflects the light of the sun. However, much say that the light God created could have been rays of light so I guess that could answer. (Unfortunately, We aren't supposed to know the reasoning for everything that God has planned or done. But if you pray and build a deep relationship with Him he reveals to you the answers of your questions.) The Fifth Day: God creates all life that lives in the water. Any life of any kind that lives in the water is made at this point. God also makes all the birds. The language allows that this may be the time God made flying insects as well (or, if not, they were made on day six). All of these creatures are made with the ability to perpetuate their species by reproduction. The Sixth Day: God creates all the creatures that live on dry land. This includes every type of creature not included on previous days and man The Seventh Day: God rests.

            Genesis is a British rock band who became active in 1967 all the way up to late 90s. They put out tons and tons of music. A pretty notable song is Land of Confusion, due to how many other artists who have covered it.

                    • It's been stated that the odd order was intentional. The ancients worshiped the celestial bodies as gods. Genesis demotes them to mere creations of the One True God. Then Genesis further demotes them by stating that the biggest celestial body in the heavens (the Sun) isn't really even necessary, as God can create plant life without the effects of the sun. The whole idea is to demote the sun and other celestial bodies from godhood. http://forums.catholic.com/showthread.php?t=613593

                        • The primary creation story in Genesis is actually ancient Hebrew poetry, not literal history. It should not be read as an actual historical account. As poetry it proclaims God as the creator of all life and the creator of all things needed for life to exist. Don't take my word for it though. Go ask your local Rabbi.
