[quote:Anonymous Coward 18398536:MV8zNTI3NzAzXzYzMDI2NzAxXzc5QzE5RjI5] [quote:7thAdamu:MV8zNTI3NzAzXzYzMDI2NjQzX0YyNjE1MTM2] [quote:Anonymous Coward 18398536:MV8zNTI3NzAzXzYzMDI2NjE2X0ZGN0M1MUZD] [quote:7thAdamu:MV8zNTI3NzAzXzYzMDI2NTUxXzczMkJGMDI=] [quote:Anonymous Coward 18398536:MV8zNTI3NzAzXzYzMDI2NDk5X0E0OUUxMjBC] Space-time can only be measured by light. To even begin the concept of "time" there had to be light. God had created the earth as a formless chaotic void, but there was no "time" until the creation of light. Before light, there was a state of antecreation. After light, time began. The antecreation was antecreated in no-time by no-word. [/quote] Remove space from that and you might have something I think. There's no room for space in Genesis. It's water. [/quote] Yes, there is water. There is also space. The Hebrew word for space is the "raqia" of Genesis 1:8. It means expanse, space. The division of space on day 2 was only possible after the time measure of light. [/quote] I see. Agreed. [/quote] Genesis 1 is a little poetic fragment of Moses that Ezra the Scribe used to be a sort of proem to his 12 books of history, the dodecateuch, after the Babylonian exile. It isn't put in scientific terms, but it is a doxology of creation that accurately describes the progressive universal opus of the 7 days. [/quote]
Original Message
In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth.
The earth was without form and void, and darkness was upon the face of the deep.
Then the spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters.
Then God said: let there be light and there was light.
And God saw the light and it was good.
Then God divided the light from the darkness.
Light=day
Darkness=night
:: The evening and the morning were the 1st day.
Jump 2 day 4::
God said let there be lights in the firmament of the heaven to divide the day from the night.
Let them be for signs, and seasons, and for days, and for years.
And let them be for lights in the firmament of the heaven to give light upon the earth: and it was so.
And God made two great lights; the greater light to Rule the Day and the Lesser light to rule the night: he also made the Stars.
Then God set them in the firmament of the heaven to give light upon the Earth.
And to rule over the day and over the night. And to divide the light from the darkness and God saw that it was good.
::End 4th day
Who can tell me why the Light was created 1st but was divided several times?
