[Wonder Warthog]

"The only "bara" appears in verse one when God creates the "heavens and the earth". "

And he did....the "Big Bang" simply describes HOW He did it. "Light" turns out to be the active agent. What was left over is what reached the earth later.

[Hebrews 11:6]

The sequence of events:

13.8 billion years ago, the Creation Event (Big Bang), with light permeating the universe soon thereafter

4.556 billion years ago, the Formation of Earth, surrounded by a thick cloud layer

2.5± billion years ago, the Thinning Atmosphere, permitting light to reach the earth's surface

[Phinneous]

From the beautiful paintings, y’all must be Catholic... Can Evangelicals talk about evolution and big bangs if it’s not in scripture?
