Genesis 1

 

Genesis 1 – In the Beginning                                                          

Day 1- Light for Day – Darkness for night.

Day 2 – Firmament =Heaven

Day 3 – dry land- Earth, waters- seas, vegetation, herbs, fruits

Day 4 -lights in the sky – Sun, Moon, stars

Day 5- Moving creatures – fish life and birds of the air.

Day 6 – Animals- Cattle, beasts, every thing that creeps.  Man was given dominion over all the creation.

Day 7 – God rested.

When we think of God’s creation we believe that life has a purpose and an end.  Evolutionists do not believe this. In Psalms 19:1 it says “The firmament shows God’s handiwork”.  God Himself is a great architect, astronomer, chemist, physiologist, Psychologist and mathematician.  Consider this planet we live on.  It is placed just right.  Dr. Wallace, a known scientist says that if the earth were 10% larger or 10% smaller life would not be able to exist on it.  It is just the right distance from the Sun giving us the right amount of heat and light.  If the sun were further away, we would freeze.  If it were closer we would not be able to survive. Our planet is tilted at 23 degrees.  If there were no tilt the poles would gain too much ice and the center part of the earth would be intensely hot.  God made the moon the right size and right distance from the earth.  He provided the moon to clean up our oceans and shores.  Without the moon our shores would become one stench pool of garbage.  The tides provide oxygen for our fish.  Our atmosphere is 78% nitrogen, 21% oxygen and 1% trace elements. If the air weren’t as thick as it is, we would be crushed by the debris and meteorites that fall continually on the planet. When lightning happens plant food is created from the nitrogen.  Snow stores water in the valleys, rain waters and cleans the earth.  Dust created the blue sky.  Then God created man.  He gave us eyes to see His beautiful creation; a nose to smell His fragrances of rain, plants, food, etc. He gave us blood to exist and limbs to give us mobility and the ability to tend to His creation.  God is so awesome that we cannot even fathom all that He has created and it is all for us to enjoy.
