Look it up yourself. It is right there in the first account of creation. I don’t care to haggle over interpretations. That is another huge red flag for me and the final nail in the coffin for the bible as the word of god. If it were it would be clear and understandable and would not need to be interpreted by the very beings who the bible tells us are fallen, imperfect and incapable of thinking for themselves. We would just be able to take it literally but apparently it isn’t because every Christian I have met has a different one depending on what church they go to. I don’t care what anyone’s interpretation is because I don’t consider it the word of God.

Genesis 1:1 In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth.

I asked you to provide the Scripture to support your claim. What I got was a snark response. Not 'reading' your mind's intent, I allowed the possibility of the numerous translations filled with the traditions of men/women. But apparently based upon your snarky response your mind is made up.

There was a time when I would have 'felt' really bad for your mindset. However, this flesh age is getting long in the tooth and whether or not any soul/spirit intellect has the need for and love of truth, I finally realized my latter end is NOT contingent upon what path others take.

AND whether or not you keep your own path or seek to understand what Genesis actually and literally says in giving a chronology of this 'flesh' age does not change what is yet in store. Christ said 'I have foretold you all things', but He did not say that any or all would understand and/or comprehend all things. I know I sure do not understand all things foretold, but, I at least do have a primary expectation of worldly events as they unfold.
