The Nonsensical Creation Story (Gen 1)

Genesis- 1st Day

1: In the beginning, God created the Heaven and the Earth.

• Heaven in this context, as we'll later see, is referring to the sky. So the first thing God does is create the sky, then the earth.

2: And the earth was without form, and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep. And the spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters.

• Here it says that despite the Earth having just been created, it has no form and is void. Void means that it is uninhabited, but no form means that it has no shape. Where do physics and gravity come in?
  
• If God created the sky, which is the atmosphere and we know it has a round form, then Earth's "form" would naturally have to be in a round form like the sky and atmosphere. Why is it saying Earth has no form if the sky as we know it is supposed to hava a round form? Why does it not mention the sky as formless as well?
• Next it says darkness was upon the face of the deep and skips from a formless Earth to "the face of the waters." Does "deep" mean "depth" like an ocean? And now, all of a sudden, a "formless earth" now has water on it, or is water as we'll see here later.
  
• This verse alone almost sounds eerily alike to a flat earth. If you imagine that the author was referring to a flat sky, then a "formless" earth makes a little more sense because the "formless earth's" material can be seen as floating around under a flat sky. In that same sense, "face of the deep" makes more sense, too.

3: And God said "Let there be light:" And there was light.

• This doesn't make sense. God doesn't create stars until the 4th day, which is what produces the light we see. Was God "magically" sustaining light until the 4th day? The author has no understanding that stars create light, and is clearly working from his imagination.
  

4: And God saw the light, that it was good: And God divided the light from the darkness.

• This doesn't make sense, either. A solid object blocking a source of light is what divides light from dark.

5: And God called the light Day, and the darkness he called Night. And the evening and the morning were the first day.

• This is God naming day and night, but when taken in context with the last few verses, doesn't make sense either. We know that what divides day and night is one side of the Earth facing away from the sun. In days 1-3 without the sun, it's already talking about "evening and the morning." So far, day 1 isn't making ANY sense! Only when you think of a flat Earth and magical light does it make a little more sense. 5 verses into the Bible, and you're already seeing nonsense and HORRIBLE science, and we've only just begun.

Genesis- 2nd Day

6: And God said, let there be a firmament in the midst of the waters, and let it divide the waters from the waters.
7: And God made the firmament and divided the waters which were under the firmament from the waters which were above the firmament; and it was so.
8: And God called the firmament Heaven, and the evening and the morning were the second day.
*These three verses don't make a lot of sense, either. God "divides" waters with a thing he calls a firmament. In verse 7, firmament can be taken in context as the sky. But what's this business of dividing water "above and below" the firmament? I hope the author is talking about rain and clouds, because anything else is nonsense. Even so, this verse suggests that the "waters" in the sky were permanent in some way. If the author is indeed referring to rain, we know that the water from rain is not permanently fixated in the sky, but is a constant cycle of evaporating, falling, then re-evaporating. Then take into account that the author has already made suggestions that the earth is flat, and with that, these verses can then mean something totally different. In verse 8, God calls the "firmament" heaven, which was already created. 2 Days into creation, and God already has two words for the same thing. That doesn't make a lot of sense, either. Why does it say heaven in the first day before God even calls the firmament "heaven" in the second day?

Genesis- 3rd Day

9: And God said, let the waters under the heaven be gathered together unto one place, and let the dry land appear: and it was so.
*3 days into the creation story, and now there's finally dry land. This confirms that in the first two days, only water and maybe the gases in the atmosphere exists. So there was (in order) air, water, and then all the other solid elements come into existence on the earth. This is an abomination to cosmic evolution and the Big-bang, all of which there's evidence for. Hydrogen and helium are the basic building blocks of all the elements in existence. Helium is formed from the fusion of Hydrogen atoms, and then through the fusion of helium and hydrogen together, they eventually begin to make the heavier elements. These elements as a result of fusion eventually get ejected into space through the explosion of stars known as supernovas. Supernovas occur in one of two ways; Either the sudden "turning on," or the sudden "turning off" of fusion within a Star. The problem is that Stars have lives of billions of years before they eventually explode and go supernova. One such supernova, which resulted in the creation of the Crab Nebula, was witnessed in 1054 AD, was documented by chinese and arab astronomers, and was visible for 653 days, 23 of those days were visible in broad daylight. It took at least 6.3 thousand years for the light alone to reach us, and on top of that, was the explosion of a star that lasted for a few billion years or more. Creationists believe the Earth is about 6,000 years old, but the light from the supernova of 1054 alone puts the age of earth to at least 7,200 years old. Then add the age of the star that exploded to cause the supernova, and you have an earth and universe that's at least a few billion years old depending on exactly how old the star was from the 1054 supernova alone.
But the real age of the universe comes from the furthest light we see, which is at least 13.4 billion light years away. The amazing thing is that the furthest light we see is looking back in time far enough to where we're actually seeing the evolution of galaxies themselves. We can't see further than that because if you go too far back in time to the infancy of the universe, galaxies and stars haven't formed yet and were emitting no light to start the journey towards our position. The universe could very well be up to 20 billion years old or more. Who knows how much time passed before hydrogen ignited as the first stars which eventually made up galaxies. Cosmic Evolution and astronomy are indeed fascinating subjects.
*Note that at this point in the creation story however, there has been NO mention at all of the universe or even the smallest hint of it having been created so far. All that is mentioned so far is the earth and sky.
10: And God called the dry land Earth; and the gathering together of the waters he called Seas: and God saw that it was Good.
*Here we have God redefining "Earth." First Earth was Water without form, and now Earth is considered the dry land. Now Earth finally has form and he gathers the waters and the renames them to Seas. However, the "waters above the firmament" are not mentioned anymore or named.
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.
*At least 11-12 make some kind of sense. However, verse 13 is still day and night with no sun.

Genesis- 4th 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.
*Now God is finally making "lights" for night, which are obviously stars. Interestingly enough, he says "let them be for signs." What uses stars for signs? Astrology. This is fascinating in and of itself. The Bible is absolutely littered with symbolic astrological references. The "crucifixion" of the sun near december 25th in the Southern Crux constellation, the worshiping the Bull after moses comes down from mt. Sinai, and Jesus being the "fishers of Men." That's just to name a few. I'll get into them in other works sometime in the future. Others have written about the astrological references, look some up for now.
15: And let them be for lights in the firmament of the heaven to give light upon the earth: and it was so.
*I wouldn't say that the stars in the night sky give light upon the Earth like the sun does or the moon does by reflecting light, they are just merely visible.
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.
*This is THE closest thing in the creation story in regards to the universe. Unfortunately, it doesn't make sense in the context of the universe in this verse, and the next few verses.
These two "great lights" are not even lights in and of themselves. One produces light through fusion, the other merely reflects it. In fact, these aren't even regarded as objects or matter in this verse, they're just "great lights" so far according to the Bible. And what is meant by "ruling" the day and night? So far, according to the story, "day and night" are merely light and dark divided. I guess these "great lights" are the kings of day and night.
Then it says God made the stars also. This disassociates the Sun from being a star, and even the lights in the sky in verse 14 from being stars. This doesn't make sense at all. It would only make sense if it read "And God called the lights stars." Otherwise, it's MORE nonsensical nonsense.
17: And God set them in the firmament of the heaven to give light upon the earth.
*Now THIS is hilarious. This implies that God made all the stuff in the earlier verses in his "light factory," and then he was done, he strategically placed them in the sky. This is like saying God put light stickers on a black piece of paper, put it above the earth, and called it the sky. This in no way has to do with the Universe in the context so far. This is actually REALLY sounding like a flat earth now. There are plenty more flat earth references throughout the bible. It just goes to show you how primitive the person was that authored this story.
18: And to rule over the day and over the night, and to divide the light from the darkness: and God saw that it was good.
*This is just reiterating the same nonsense from earlier.
19: And the evening and the morning were the fourth day.
*Finally there's the sun to make this a true day.

Genesis- 5th Day

20: And God said, let the waters bring forth abundantly the moving creature that hath life, and the fowl that may fly above the earth in the open firmament of heaven.
*Wow. An obscure reference to Evolution. All life is thought to originate from water.
21: And God created great whales, and every living creature that moveth, which the waters brought forth abundantly, after their kind, and every winged fowl after his kind: and God saw that it was good.
*The weirdest part about this is saying that "winged fowl" in reference to the part about "waters bringing forth creatures abundantly" sounds like birds were literally created underwater, and then flew out of the water. However, in reference to evolution, this is EXACTLY what happens over time. Abiogenesis is thought to happen underwater, then evolution happens, and land animals start evolving and are "brought forth from the waters" in a way.
22: And God blessed them, saying, Be fruitful, and multiply, and fill the waters in the seas, and let fowl multiply the earth.
*I find it a little weird that God "blesses" animals, and tells them to do stuff.
23: And the evening and the morning were the fifth day.

Genesis- 6th Day

24: And God said, Let the earth bring forth the living creature after his kind, cattle, and the creeping thing, and beast of the earth after his kind: and it was so.
*This is another obscure reference to evolution in the way that creatures start adapting and evolving towards the multiple species of land creatures so that "the earth is bringing forth creatures" in a metaphorical sense of the expression. This is, however, a little strange compared to verse 21. There is apparently a reason to make creatures of the water, and creatures of earth seperately, and a day apart. God didn't just spontaneously create land and water animals all at once. It's a little strange that he has the power to do that, but instead chose to indeed create them seperately and a day apart.
25: And God made the beast of the earth after his kind, and cattle after their kind, and every thing that creepeth upon the earth after his kind: and God saw that it was good.
*This is just a reiteration.
26: And God said, "Let US make man in OUR image, after OUR likeness:" and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth.
*Now THIS is truly weird. God is talking plurally. What does the author mean by "Us" and "our?" What is that nonsense? There are actually several verses where God is talking plurally like this. (Gen 3:22, 6:2-4, and 11:6-7) And also, the first man is supposed to be Adam. Why is this saying "Let US make man, and let THEM have dominion?" There actually happens to be a verse stating what Adam really is: The first colony of men, not a single man. (Gen 5:1-2) Now I can tell you a few wild theories I've heard about what this could mean if this indeed isn't a translation error. Think aliens (God), genetic manipulation (God making man in THEIR image), and slaves (Giving man dominion over earth to "till" the Garden of Eden). Look up Michael Tsarion and his studies on other cultures' historical legends, and Zecharia Sitchin regarding the Sumerians legends. The sumerians are the most fascinating. They have carvings of the accurate number of planets circling around a central sun. They knew of pluto, and even mention that neptune and uranus are galactic twins, and even their colors. That's just the tip of the iceberg from Zecharia Sitchin's work and translations. This culture is dated back to around 6,000 BC. We didn't discover pluto until 1930, and didn't discover Uranus and Neptune (and their colors) until the late 17-1800s. Now how did this ancient culture know and predict all of this without telescopes? They say the "Anunnaki" told them. "Anunnaki" literally translates as "those who from heaven to earth came" from the Sumerian Cuneiform. Do an internet or a youtube search on the word "Anunnaki," and you'll get a ton of results. Now think about this: What we call "aliens" today, an ancient man would call "Gods from the sky." I'm not telling you to believe it, just to check it out for yourself and look at the evidence that Michael Tsarion on Atlantis, and Zecharia Sitchin present.
27: So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them.
*Now it corrects itself to align with the story we've all come to know. However, why is God now speaking as a singular being now, and why is male and female spoken of as singular beings just ONE verse after they're each spoken of as plural beings? How could such a HUMONGOUS translation error so big slip through so close together that these different uses of "Us, Our, and Them" changes everything. Something is definitely not right here.
28: And God blessed them, and God said unto them, be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth and subdue it; and have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over every living thing that moveth upon the earth.
*God talking to animals again.
29: And God said, Behold, I have given you every herb bearing seed, which is upon the face of all the earth, and every tree, in the which is the fruit of a tree yielding seed; to you it shall be for meat.
30: And to every beast of the earth, and to every fowl of the air, and to every thing that creepeth upon the earth, wherein there is life, I have given every green herb for meat: and it was so.
31: And God saw every thing that he had made, and, behold, it was very good. And the evening and the morning were the sixth day.
*And here is the end of the creation story that is so nonsensical, scientifically backwards, sounds more like a flat earth explanation, and doesn't even account for the Universe. Stars, the Sun, and the moon are just non-physical "lights in the firmament of heaven." So now answer me this before you go any further in Genesis: Why did God even create the Earth in the first place and put man on it?
