1 | The heavens are part of this creation | Gen 1:8 | Lionstrong | 13186 | ||
In v. 1 it reads God created the heavens. In this verse I note that God called the firmament (NKJV) or expanse heaven. In v. 1 heaven is plural and in v. 8 it's singular. In v. 8 is the naming of the physical (visible) heaven. Just as God created all things in the visible world, that is, in heaven and earth, He also created all things in the invisible world, that is, in one of the other heavens. God created the heavens in the beginning. Although the focus (as is with the rest of Scripture) is on Man and his environment, the invisible world (one of the other heavens) was created in the beginning too, not before the beginning. In the Scripture God directs our attention to our own practical interests, Man and his environment. (I'll never finish re-reading the Bible at this rate!) The focus, therefore, is on the creation of Man and his environment, and not on the creation of the other heavens and not on the creation of the other heavens and the creatures that inhabit them (although it is mentioned here to inform us of its origin). But again the heavens and all they contain were also made "In the beginning." In other words, the unseen world of the other heavens are part of this creation, not a part of a supposed first creation which was destroyed. V. 9 strengthens this notion of one creation by using the plural, "Let the waters under the heavens be gathered in to one place..." |

2 | The heavens are part of this creation | Gen 1:8 | Makarios | 13273 | ||
"This evolution nonsense is all too fairy storyish to be true, there is only one truth and that is CREATION. Creatures have been found (according to naturalists) living inside active volcanoes, just above the red hot lava. Can we perhaps explain this by suggesting that because these creatures were feeling the cold they decided to move into warmer quarters? Think about what's involved here, these lifeforms supposedly emerged from water somewhere and then made their way to volcanoes, climbed down inside them to the very edge of the molten lava and decided that that was the place for them. HOW RIDICULOUS. The temperature at that level is too hot for man, even with protective clothing, so how could these creatures have possibly adapted to such extremes, from cool water to tremendous heat? Or perhaps they also designed asbestos suits for themselves. And what about the supercharged steam and other gases, such as carbon dioxide, hydrogen, carbon monoxide, and sulphur dioxide, which continually escape from the surface of volcanos with violent explosions? Are we supposed to believe that these unprotected lifeforms could adapt to all of this when man with all of his knowledge, all of his intelligence and with protective clothing, can not ? Not that he would want to in the first place, so why would they want to in the first place? ALMIGHTY GOD placed them there so that we, if we used our intelligence, would become aware of His power. Aren't evolutionists being just a little naive, aren't they in fact being extremely stupid to even THINK that such things are possible through evolution, and that because of misguided so called scientific thinking, WE (all people) are supposed to believe -that this is how life came to be on earth? Evolutionists believe in the kind of spontaneous miracles that supposedly evolved life and yet they disbelieve the miracles of Almighty God who created all things, both seen and unseen. The old story of which came first the chicken or the egg, the sonar of bats, birds that can remove salt from sea water such as, gulls, pelicans, cormorants, albatross etc. None of these things could have evolved. Even if they had known what it was that they should develop within themselves, how could they have accomplished this, -with mind power? These animals, birds, plants etc., DO NOT, and certainly as they were supposedly evolving, COULD NOT have had the intelligence to bring about these changes within themselves, when they did not even know what they were, let alone what they were supposed to become. HOW DO YOU MAKE SOMETHING OUT OF NOTHING? I have not mentioned flight, how was this achieved? The mind boggles at the thought of some animal thinking about, and changing its own design to enable it to fly when it had nothing to copy from in the first place. There are many more instances that I could mention in relation to plants, animals, fishes, birds and insects, but the only explanation that can be given for their design, existence and place, is that Almighty God made all things and placed them where He chose, it is the only sane and logical explanation there is. All things on earth and in the universe are as Almighty God designed them, made them and placed them and that includes the stars, planets sun, moon and all of the laws that control them. Gen 1:11 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. Gen 1:20 And God said, Let the waters bring forth abundantly the moving creature that hath life, and fowl that may fly above the earth in the open firmament of heaven. Gen 1:24 And God said, Let the earth bring forth the living creature after his kind, cattle, and creeping thing, and beast of the earth after his kind: and it was so. Gen 1:26 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. KJV Read all of Genesis and you will see for yourselves that only an all loving supreme being, Almighty God, could have CREATED everything." Written by Richard W Hayes --Nolan |

3 | The heavens are part of this creation | Gen 1:8 | Morant61 | 13279 | ||
Greetings Nolan! All I can say to this post is, "Amen!" I work with a man who studied marine biology in college. He and I discuss this topic every now and then. One night, as we were talking, I had a new ideal. I don't get these very often. Here it is: If evolution (macro) is a naturally occuring process, why aren't there new species being discovered all the time. We find a few undiscovered species every now and then, but on a whole, we lose thousands of species every year, but find none. How long could that continue? If evolution were true, shouldn't there at least be a balance? Just a thought! Your Brother in Christ, Tim Moran |

Hello Tim! Yes, that is exactly true! :) Why aren't there new species being discovered all the time? Also, what is mutation? Is it possible for the genetic makeup of a reptile to ever be capable of coming up with "new information" in that makeup that would turn that reptile into a bird? And here is the real question: Why is it that everything on earth seems to be in a 'degenerative state' instead of a 'state' that is constantly redefining itself? If this is true (and scientifically proven) that our world is in a degenerative state, then does this not point to a Creation where everything began? Blessings to you! --Nolan |

Greetings Nolan! Exactly! I've read articles where evolutionist dismissed the application of the 2nd Law of Thermodynamics to evolution. However, it seems to apply to every system, even political. And the data supports it, since there seems to be a constant decline in species rather than a balance or a net increase. I've heard some good ones over the years. My wife and I were watching a documentary once about a certain symbiotic relationship between a species of bat and plant. It turns out that the plant grows high in the trees of the Amazon. It's seeds need to get to the ground. What happens is that these species of bat eats the fruit of the plant, which contains a natural laxative, and then deposits the seeds on the ground along with it's waste. This program actually said, "The plant, realizing that it needed to get it's seeds to the ground, developed this laxative so that the bat would deposit it's seeds on the ground." Is that a riot or what? The plant planned it? This is a perfect example of a designed relationship, yet evolutionists turn it into a thinking plant. That require much more faith than believing in the resurrection of Christ. Your Brother in Christ, Tim Moran |
