I have always found it interesting. Genesis. The creation of the earth is exactly as the Bible says. I don’t believe the 6 24-hour day thing but I believe time is nothing to God and it’s more a case of symbolism. There’s alot of symbolism about the number 7 which I won’t even bother to get into.
But let’s look at evolution and Genesis.
First the earth was formless and empty. Yes, it was gaseous therefore formless and devoid of life, therefore empty.
The gas settled, therefore allowing the sun to enter the environment, and God said it was good. It allowed the light to enter so it made day and night.
As the gas condensed it made water; and God said it was good.
The water separated from the land. Also evolutionary correct.
Now here, according to evolution, the sea creatures came first, the plants and seeds later but the Bible goes through a series of events that God created the most base forms of life first and with each day more advanced creatures were created. That sounds like evolution.
Side note, birds were mentioned very early and dinosaurs have been discovered to actually be descendents of birds.
But as each “day” progresses, more advanced creatures are created up until the day of man, and that is the last creature created and nothing of higher was created after man.
I find it amazing that “primitive” people that put the Bible to paper would know all about evolution.
That tells me, it’s God.
Works for me!
