God created the heaven (singular), what we know from Scripture to be the dwelling place of God.

and . . .

He created the earth, before He created any other cellestial body. The EARTH was created before there was our sun or any other star or planet.

So, there was NO big bang.

The big bang is coming in the future (2 Peter ch. 3)

John Leland 1789: "He created the earth, before He created any other cellestial body.

As long as we understand that such statements refer to spiritual matters, and have nothing to do with actual science, then I don't have a problem with it.

The problem only starts if you insist that the Bible is somehow "scientific".

In fact, the Bible is the opposit of science, since science is concerned only with material causes and effects, and builds from physical evidence; while the Bible is Revealed Truth whose purpose is to explain to very ignorant human beings the path of spiritual salvation.

So more-or-less, the Bible begins where science stops, and visa versa.
