Actually, this should has been proved false. Based on dna being discovered. It should be corrected to read. God created vegetation.....
And should be placed just before God created the great creatures...
In other words, soft ware was introduced into the hardware that then existed. The software was in the form of the dna that created all living things. What astounds me is that all living things are made from a dna begining and made in the image of whatever created it.
“What astounds me is that all living things are made from a dna begining and made in the image of whatever created it.”
God gave us a glimps of DNA in the Biblical account of DNA...a helical staircase ascending into heaven and angels (Messenger RNA) ascending and descending...
And he lighted upon a certain place, and tarried there all night, because the sun was set; and he took of the stones of that place, and put them for his pillows, and lay down in that place to sleep. And he dreamed, and behold a ladder set up on the earth, and the top of it reached to heaven: and behold the angels of God ascending and descending on it. And, behold, the LORD stood above it, and said, I am the LORD God of Abraham thy father, and the God of Isaac: the land whereon thou liest, to thee will I give it, and to thy seed; And thy seed shall be as the dust of the earth, and thou shalt spread abroad to the west, and to the east, and to the north, and to the south: and in thee and in thy seed shall all the families of the earth be blessed. And, behold, I am with thee, and will keep thee in all places whither thou goest, and will bring thee again into this land; for I will not leave thee, until I have done that which I have spoken to thee of.
(Genesis 28:11-15)
I don't fault the biblical authors for anything they got wrong in scientific terms, since first, obviously they knew nothing about such matters and second, they got the Big Picture amazingly right.
And that's what matters, imho.
