The Genesis Creation Myth

 

The Heavens and Earth = Formless waste

Darkness covered the water

 

Light (Did God make the sun and stars here?)

Division between light and dark (night and day)

He calls Light-day / Darkness-night

Evening & Morning Came (This alone clearly shows that the seven days of Genesis were seven literal days not seven eons of time.)

 

End of First day

 

A division and expanse – Heaven (the sky)

 

End of Second Day

 

Water came together in one place and made land appear

Earth (land), Seas

Grass, Vegetation bearing seeds, fruit trees (Made land plants first!)

 

End of Third Day

 

Luminaries

Makes a division between day and night (Makes night and day again!)

Sun and moon and stars to shine upon the Earth

 

End of Forth day

 

Sea creatures (Makes life in the ocean after land plants!)

Flying creatures (He made birds before land animals!)

Sea monsters (???????)

 

End of Fifth Day

 

Land animals -- Wild beasts and domestic animals (God created domestic animals?)

Man

Gave vegetation to all animals for food

 

End of sixth Day

 

Proceeded to rest on the Seventh Day, made it holy

“On it he has been resting.”

 

  • The bible’s order is: land plants, sea life, birds, land animals, man

  • Correct order would be: sea life, land plants, land animals, birds, man

The first land plants were certainly not grass and fruit trees, nor were the first animals wild beasts and domestic animals.
