Genesis 1:14-25 Then
God said, "Let there be lights in the expanse of the heavens to separate
the day from the night, and let them be for signs and for seasons and for days
and years; and let them be for
lights in the expanse of the heavens to give light on the earth"; and it
was so. God made the two great lights,
the greater light to govern the day, and the lesser light to govern the night;
He made the stars also. God placed them in the expanse of the heavens to give
light on the earth, and to govern the day and the night, and to separate the
light from the darkness; and God saw that it was good. There was evening and
there was morning, a fourth day. Then
God said, "Let the waters teem with swarms of living creatures, and let
birds fly above the earth in the open expanse of the heavens."God created
the great sea monsters and every living creature that moves, with which the
waters swarmed after their kind, and every winged bird after its kind; and God
saw that it was good. God
blessed them, saying, "Be fruitful and multiply, and fill the waters in
the seas, and let birds multiply on the earth." There was evening and
there was morning, a fifth day. Then God said, "Let the earth bring forth
living creatures after their kind: cattle and creeping things and beasts of the
earth after their kind"; and it was so. God made the beasts of the earth
after their kind, and the cattle after their kind, and everything that creeps
on the ground after its kind; and God saw that it was good.
As
with Part II of this series I would refer you once again to Dr. Kent Hovind
a.k.a. Dr. Dino. He has some very fascinating things to say you about the moon
and the heavens. One thing worth noting is that science has so often argued
that the universe is billions of years old. And yet the moon’s orbit around the
earth linearly increases by fractions of an inch every year. The result being
that if the earth is billions of years old then the moon would have originated
from somewhere inside the earth’s crust, and would have had to launch from the
earth’s surface. Same goes for the oceans. Oceans have a linear, measurable
increase in salinity every year. In other words the oceans get a very tiny fraction
saltier every year. If the earth was billions of years old, then the oceans
would be as salty as the Dead Sea.
All
of which is irrelevant to a man’s salvation, but important in the order of
creation. So God creates time and space, He then creates the universe, earth,
and commands the earth to bring forth vegetation. Now he is making an
environment that is habitable to other life forms. Stars are formed, and our
galaxy is interacting with time and space so as to fix the orbits of the
planets and stars. Perhaps it is here where God causes the earth to wobble thus
giving us the seasons, and the moon is placed in orbit creating tides. From
these tides water is allowed to circulate, moving nutrients, and oxygen. From
the seasons the earth is now regulating its temperature… all in preparation for
life.
And
then behold in fifth day God commands the waters to create life. “Let the
waters teem with life,” He says. “Let birds fly above the earth…” Then He
commands the creatures, “Be fruitful and multiply…” Yes it all is God’s
creation as verse 21 indicates, but there is no mention of the mechanism. He
commanded and the earth created. Neither support nor denial of evolution, and yet
evolutionist acknowledge this order. The vegetation came first, and something crawled
out of the ocean next. That’s the basic theory. And yet a book written
thousands of years before Darwin has the exact order already laid out. This is
not genius, this is divine knowledge place with mankind so that they would know
God did it, when science later would learn the order, and seek to understand
the mechanism.
