2 | When was "In the Beginning" | Gen 1:1 | Nicholson | 17726 | ||
The heavens and the earth of Gen.1:1, refer to the whole universe created by God, out of nothing, in the distant past. Man cannot comprehend the universe which includes the earth and while it was created by God it could never have been in the ruined condition seen in Gen.1:2. The universe consists of countless number galaxies. Our earth is in one such galaxy. The sun is one of the 20,000 crores of stars which are in our galaxy. The nearest star is about 4 ½ light years away from the earth. (One light year is equal to the distance traveled by light in one year whereas the speed of light is 3,00,000 kms per second) So man can never know or understand anything about even the nearest star. So beyond Gen.1: 1 God is speaking only about the earth. In is clear that an unrevealed length of time has elapsed between Gen.1: 1 and Gen.1: 2. This period of time may be a number of ages. | ||||||

Nicholson, I was reading your post containing all the astronomical data and nodding my head. In fact, I was doing just fine in following your line of thought until I came to the end of your post in which you concluded, "It is clear that an unrevealed length of time has elapsed between Gen.1:1 and Gen.1:2. This period of time may be a number of ages." That's where you lost me. I re-read your post to see whether I'd missed something, and the something I was looking for, but could not find, was something substantive, a shred or two of evidence, to back up your hypothesis. Please, if you will, tell us how you arrived at your concusion in view of the Scriptural text. --Hank | ||||||
