genesis 1:11 then immediately describes life beginning.
Hard not to notice the conjunction of those two events and yet until late in the 20th Century that notion was scoffed at by scientists at large.
But that has all changed. It seems the science points to life beginning almost immediately, in relative terms, once water appeared.
So Genesis predicted a creation event and then went on to describe the appearance of water immediately followed by life. Not bad for flat earthers.
OK - anything a little more sophisticated than 'we need water to live'.... something that was really not a big surprise to anyone living in the desert?
