Chapter One
Creation

Earth was created as a water planet by itself and nothing else on the first day. It was created in the dark. Then God said, “Let there be light.” But this was the light of His glory because He did not create the sun, moon, and stars until the fourth day. This corresponds to the Book of Revelation where it is stated that the sun, moon, and stars will be rolled up like a scroll and be destroyed, and a new earth will be illuminated by His glory. God gave the length of each day as one evening (or period of darkness) and one morning (period of light), and in that order. So, we know that history began in darkness. This makes sense because light needs something to reflect off of to be seen, unless staring directly into the source. But why would God even need to see to create? “Yea, the darkness hideth not from thee; but the night shineth as the day: the darkness and the light are both alike to thee” [Psalm 139:12]. These first few lines of the Bible are the reason that the Hebrew belief is and has always been, that the day ends and a new one begins at sundown, not at midnight. They also dispel the idea that a day could be thousands, millions, or even billions of years long. During the 2016 Presidential debate, I remember one Republican candidate who was running as a devout Christian looked straight into the television camera and said, “I don’t believe that the Bible states how long a day was then.” I had to ask myself how this man could not have known better, when it is written on the first page of the first book of the Bible six times. Where did he begin reading the Bible? When I begin a book, I usually start on page one. So, the only thing created on the first day of history was a submerged earth with a set rotation speed that would give us the length of darkness and of light illuminated by His glory.

On the second day, He created the firmament (the atmosphere), and placed some of the water above it. But this was not in the form of clouds that float in the firmament ascending and descending to different heights. This was ice orbiting in space around the earth, and above the firmament, like the rings of Saturn, or more precisely like a bubble (canopy). Creation theorists have begun to lose faith in this view because it was suggested that people would not be able to see the stars for guidance through the canopy. This is nonsense. If the ice particles were small enough and spaced far enough apart, it would appear as a slight mist which we would be able to see stars through, just not as clearly. I believe that the firmament contained, from the beginning, both the carbon necessary for plant life and the oxygen for humans and animals to breathe. The firmament must have had both, but not combined as carbon dioxide or carbon monoxide gases. Plants are able to separate the two; humans and animals put these two elements together forming poisonous ethers. Our atmosphere contains the same amount of these elements, and at the same ratio as it did on day two of existence. They are simply filtered by plants and recycled. Our vegetation is not just capable of filtering the toxic gases formed by creatures breathing, but it can also clean up smoke, exhaust, and earthly emissions.

On the third day, God said, “Let the waters under the heaven [atmosphere] be gathered together unto one place, and let the dry land appear: and it was so” [Gen. 1:9]. There is more in these words than one might see in a casual reading. It does not say that any more water left the earth to join the canopy around it, nor that it became clouds. It says that these waters came together “under” the atmosphere, not in it or above it. Since water seeks its own level, there are only two ways that dry land could appear. Either, more water was removed, which was just dispelled, or the only other explanation, the earth was raised. But if it was, something must be lifting and supporting it from underneath, water. Yes, that’s right: God forced water into the mantel which hydraulically lifted the Earth’s crust.

In an article titled New Evidence for Oceans of Water Deep in the Earth, by Megan Fellman. Steven Jacobsen from Northwest University in Evanston, Ill., and Brandon Schmandt from the University of New Mexico stated in an interview that they had discovered a reservoir of water 400 miles beneath the earth’s surface between the upper and lower parts of the mantel called the transitional zone, which extends across most of the United States. It is comprised of a blue rock known as ringwoodite. Under extreme pressure and extensive heat, water fuses with the crystals of this mineral. According to Jacobsen:

I think we are finally seeing evidence for a whole-Earth water cycle, which may help to explain the vast amount of liquid water on the surface of our habitable planet. Scientists have been looking for this missing deep water for decades…. If just one percent of the weight of the mantel rock located in the transition zone is H2O, that would be equivalent to nearly three times the amount of water in our oceans [Earth magazine June 12, 2014/issue 2974].

This is more than enough water to cover Mt. Everest:

Thou coveredst it with the deep as with a garment: the waters stood above the mountains. At thy rebuke they fled; at the voice of thy thunder they hasted away. They go up by the mountains; they go down by the valleys unto the place which thou hast founded for them. Thou hast set a bound that they may not pass over; that they turn not again to cover the earth [Psalm 104:6–9].

I must point out another significant fact in verse nine and that is that the waters were, “gathered together unto one place,” and the singular word land is used, not lands. This indicates that there was just one large ocean, and only one large land mass, the continent of Pangea. “And unto Eber [the first Hebrew] were born two sons: the name of one was Peleg; for in his days was the earth divided” [Gen. 10:25]. Peleg means division. Luke misspells Peleg as Phalec in his genealogy of Mary (Luke 3:35). Note that this verse states that the earth was divided, and not the nations or peoples. Some people want to interpret this as referring to the separating of the nations by creating many new languages. But that event had already happened at Babel two generations earlier.

Once the land was no longer submerged, God created life with it in the form of plants and trees. Since He had created the atmosphere the day before, they could breathe. And they could eat of the earth from which their components came. But plants also need fresh water to survive. Verses five and six of the second chapter of Genesis tells us, “The Lord God had not caused it to rain upon the earth…. [b]ut there went up a mist from the earth and watered the whole face of the ground.” Verse ten also states “A river went out of Eden to water the garden.” This confirms that the water above the firmament were not clouds, and the source of rivers was not rain. So, some of the waters forced underground were returning (and I am certain that this is a cycle that continues to this day).

On the fourth day, God set His earthly chores aside, and concentrated on the rest of the universe: the sun, moon, and stars. The Bible says that the sun and moon are for illumination and the telling of days and time. It says that the stars are for signs and seasons. The word signs does not mean astrology, which is forbidden (Deut. 4:19, and again in Deut. 17:2–5 [where the punishment is stated to be stoning to death]), rather they are indications that prophecies are about to be fulfilled. The Bible tells us that prophecies are given to us so that we cannot give credit for God’s miracles to false gods (Is. 48:5). And of course, stars are also navigational markers to find our way around on this planet, and seasonal signs to tell us when to plant crops or move herds.

The fifth day of creation, God made birds and the creatures of the sea. Just for perspective, birds were the first land animals, and whales were the first mammals. And two days before He made them, He made plants (on land and in water) for them to have something to eat on the first day of their lives. Like the plants, they could also breathe of the firmament, birds could fly through it, and let’s not forget that it made sound possible. The day before making birds and marine life, He made the sun, moon, and stars so that the birds and whales would have sight and some sense of direction.

The sixth day He created every other land creature, saving man (actually woman) for the last, so that when Adam and Eve were created, the world was completely prepared for them, providing everything that they would need (I recommend Paradise Lost by John Milton). If God had made Adam and Eve on day one, they would have been floating naked in the water, blind, with nothing to eat, no fresh water to drink, and no air to breathe. Genesis had reasoned order.

How many of His creations did God create at Genesis? We know that He created only two humans. How many of each of the other species did He create? How many birds, fish, horses, dogs, and cats, etc. Why did He command them to be “fruitful and multiply, and fill the earth,” if He had already filled the earth with vast numbers of them? Why create a world of abundant life if there were only two humans who could never witness all of it? Remember that Adam and Eve were vegetarians as were all other creatures. There was no hunting. There was no disease. There was no death before the curse. If God had created each species in vast numbers, the...
