1;1 In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth. ( True. A big bang happened.) 2 Now the earth was formless and empty, darkness was over the surface of the deep ( True. Thick clouds of chemicals completely hid the sun) , and the Spirit of God was hovering over the waters. ( What would you use for a dark, formless, primitive chemical “soup” that a primitive people might understand? )
3 And God said, “Let there be light,” and there was light. ( It does not say that God created the light, does it? ) 4 God saw that the light was good, and he separated the light from the darkness. ( Oops! The clouds are clearing away from the surface of the earth.) 5 God called the light “day,” and the darkness he called “night.” And there was evening, and there was morning—the first day ( Which does not mean 24 hours of our time) .
Please note that in Genesis it says “Let there be light!” Another word for “let” is “allow” . “Allow” that there be light. Light is eternal. It has always existed. Genesis does not say God created light, but it does say that He **created** the heavens and the earth. Do you see the difference? **Allow** light, and **create** the heavens and earth.
And that difference between light being eternal and the “creation” of the heavens and the earth**is** absolutely scientifically accurate!
Before ragging on how inaccurate Genesis is, perhaps you should read it.
