The Bible: Chapter 1
by Aaron
(Australia)
11 And God said, Let the earth bring forth grass, the herb yielding seed, and the fruit tree yielding fruit after his kind, whose seed is in itself, upon the earth: and it was so.
12 And the earth brought forth grass, and herb yielding seed after his kind, and the tree yielding fruit, whose seed was in itself, after his kind: and God saw that it was good.
13 And the evening and the morning were the third day.
14 ¶And God said, Let there be lights in the firmament of the heaven to divide the day from the night; and let them be for signs, and for seasons, and for days, and years:
15 And let them be for lights in the firmament of the heaven to give light upon the earth: and it was so.
16 And God made two great lights; the greater light to rule the day, and the lesser light to rule the night: he made the stars also.
17 And God set them in the firmament of the heaven to give light upon the earth,
(Genesis 1: 11-17)
This is a very basic argument and I do not wish to illicit a viral response from you or any of your editors. I am calmly and sensibly using the VERY first chapter of the Bible to Prove that Creation was a literal, 6-day Creation.
Now I am going to assume that you ascribe to some sort of age-theory when viewing the first chapter of Genesis. The Bible says in verse 11 (the THIRD day) that he made all plants: grass, herbs, trees, etc. And then in verse 15 he makes the sun and the moon and all stars (the FOURTH day) Now my argument is that if that space of time between those "seedings" as might be supposed, is millions and millions of years, how would those plants have survived without SUNLIGHT. It is a verifiable scientific process that REQUIRES sunlight for the growth and survival of all green life.
Now I realize that you will probably twist my straightforward argument as well as systematically undermine my process of argument as well as the WORD OF GOD that you so eloquently support, I realize this and yet I still present this as a hope that defends my God and the Bible from "railing accusations."
If you will honestly read the 1st chapter of Genesis and take it literally there is absolutely no way in Heaven that it can be viewed as to support evolution
