Then Jesus did not know how the Earth was formed. Hence, Jesus was not the son of the creator of the earth, or at least the two were not talking to each other.

Um ... Jesus created it ---

[bible]Colossians 1:16-17[/bible]

So God made Man & Woman at the Beginning, or after the Beginning?

It was Day Six --- during the beginning.
Mark 10:6
But from the beginning of the creation God made them male and female.


So, which is it at the beginning or during the beginning? Mark 10:6 literally says at the beginning. But it appears you do not take that to be literal, since man was made on the sicth day, after the beginning.

Or, maybe your definition of beginning is different? Can you define it so we understand your definition?

How about we define it so we understand Jesus' definition, instead?

He would have certainly been talking about the Creation Week here. After all, "the Creation" took a week, not a day.

We can say, "In the beginning, God made the whales," and, "In the beginning, God made man," and both statements would be correct.

Literary Dictionary said:
literal, confined to the simplest primary meaning of a word, statement, or text, as distinct from any figurative sense which it may carry—whether ironic, allegorical, metaphoric, or symbolic. Thus the literal sense of a text is its most straightforward meaning. Literalism is a tendency to interpret texts according to their most obvious meaning, often disregarding their connotations as well as their figurative senses. A literal translation is one that tries as far as possible to transfer each element of a text from one language into the other, without allowance for differences of idiom between the two languages.

And how are you sure that is Jesus' definition? Perhaps you should establish that first, if you can.

Because He is the One Who wrote Genesis 1 - (through a human author).
