![]() They include all the intricacies of their interdependent processes like evaporation (heading for the upper water layer in the firmament) and precipitation (returning to the lower water level on earth). Referring to the water cycle in Chapters 4 of Inventory of the Universe and Audit of the Universe, these two expanses (on Earth and in the atmosphere) cover the entire water system of the earth. Imagine living in a continual mist, some areas of Earth, like Grand Banks in Newfoundland, Canada, do have extreme humidity and even mist making daily chores more arduous. ![]() Do you hear the reality, as Paul said? How does Science explain the origin and disposition of water?įurthermore, there’s an essential zone between these two watery expanses that cannot go unmentioned - that zone where humankind can live in tranquillity. We have a concise but very distinctive description of the delimitations of water on Earth and water in the sky (see Further Study below) this perfectly reflects the reality of the role water plays in Earth’s environment today and in the past. What we have here is a clear separation of the water (the Hebrew for divide ( בָּדַל bâdal) is identical to dividing light from dark in verse 4). The 2nd-day account is another example of this brevity with spiritual overtones. Day 2: Firmament with Water and Water under it The Hebrew wording, as we have seen and will continue to see, is expressing both physical and spiritual concepts. In this creation story, we are being given practical facts with expressive vocabulary. This short expose in Genesis 1 is simply to set the time (after the chaos caused by the downfallen Lucifer) and the place (on a restored Earth), revealing the props on stage and how they got there. That’s somewhat simplistic because, as we’ll see, it’s quite a stage. This short expose in Genesis 1 is to set the time ( after the chaos caused by the downfallen Lucifer) and the place ( on a restored Earth), revealing the props on stage and how they got there. It might even have some text: Paris 1936. In the first scene, it zooms in on a city or a ship or through an apartment window, so you know where you are. Let me add another point I will expand on at the end of Genesis chapter 1 t his is like the time and place-setting of a movie. We can mention Occam’s Razor here: A law of parsimony, economy, or succinctness, why do we want to complicate matters? Mathematicians talk about the beauty and poetry in equations. The most complex presented in the most minimalist, clear-cut terms. The simplicity of expressing the creation. More likely read, but maybe I’ll get into video and podcasting, and you will be able to listen to the word of God as well literally. ![]() They’ll form a coherent picture of planet Earth with humanity, and how to reach peace and prosperity, I consider my role, that of The Explanation, as merely letting you hear the word of God. Maybe you’ll have a little more faith in what we cannot prove when you see the parts of the Bible puzzle assembled. You believe that assembling 30,000 strange looking car parts in a warehouse will produce as a fully working car. There are processes and things that we cannot prove scientifically, that’s where the element of faith comes in.įrom where does faith, or belief, come? Paul answers, “ So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God” (Romans 10:17). “Through faith we understand that the worlds were framed by the word of God, so that things which are seen were not made of things which do appear” (Hebrews 11:3). There is a biblical answer to Galacti’s uncertainty and reservation. ![]() Give it time, plenty of time, and take it one step at a time. Just daily chronicles as pieces of the puzzle. We won’t, suffice to say that just as you do not yet have the final picture composed of the pieces we’re putting together, similarly you’ll have to take the written word for what it says right now, or consider it a story. We could open a chapter, or even a book, about the writing and preservation of the Bible and develop a subject known as canonization. But he was not an eyewitness having lived hundreds of years after these events. In the New Testament, Jesus’ words (we will be getting to Him in more detail later on) indicate Moses, one of the most prominent Old Testament figures as the author of The Law (Luke 24:44), which includes the book of Genesis. Galacti’s observations are correct on both accounts and merit an explanation even a lengthy one, but we will keep it short. Galacti is our fictitious time-traveling, investigative, roving reporter who lends his insights and voice to the development of the narrative ![]()
