[quote]Personally, I feel that any being that could create 'night' and 'day' at least three days before it created the sun and the moon has some pretty neat tricks to explain, but I'd at least have to argue that the 'lesser' light was technically a reflector...[/quote] This is not a brillant statement, just one who is ignorant of scripture revelation. The writers of the Genesis book are revealing the stages in which God created the beginnings. Days refer to completeness of each task. The writers didn't see God do all those created days and what God accomplished as he was doing it. No one has seen God in his Glory yet that we know. So how can they know. Through the writers revelation God has chosen to give them they relate to us with a way to make the story of creation come down to our way of thinking with their Hebrew words. God didn't go to sleep and wake up every day as we know days. The time span of these days could of been an instant or take billions of years. What is most important to the reader about the verses is all is created and comes from God. From the original text in Hebrew the meaning may give a different view but lead to the same orignal intented revelation that God wants us to understand and know and relate to others. This may be hard for an unbeliever to accept but one who responds to the call of the spirit of God will within themselves will accept that all comes from God. They may have doubts and question the Genesis writings in the way of the story telling of the prophets in those times, but yet still they have faith in the God of Adam, Moses and his chosen people. For me I need not see God to know God. I feel God. [small](Edited by [url=http://www.ozoneasylum.com/user/3156]jade[/url] on 02-20-2008 16:03)[/small]
