[QUOTE="Doveaman, post: 58850015, member: 240268"] [B]Genesis 1 Again [/B] Here are a number of scriptures referring to a future global catastrophe God will bring on the earth. They remind us of the conditions described in Genesis 1 and give support to the re-creation theory described in the OP. [B][COLOR=RoyalBlue]“See, the day of the LORD is coming — a cruel day, with wrath and fierce anger — to make the land desolate...The stars of heaven and their constellations will not show their light. The rising sun will be darkened and the moon will not give its light.”[/COLOR] [/B](Isa 13:9-11). [B][COLOR=RoyalBlue]“Remember your Creator in the days of your youth, before the days of trouble come...before the sun and the light and the moon and the stars grow dark, and the clouds return”.[/COLOR] [/B](Eccl 12:1-2). [B][COLOR=RoyalBlue]“I will cover the heavens and darken their stars; I will cover the sun with a cloud, and the moon will not give its light. All the shining lights in the heavens I will darken over you; I will bring darkness over your land, declares the Sovereign LORD.”[/COLOR] [/B](Ezek 32:7-8). In the future global catastrophe, the light of the sun, moon and stars will, for a time, not be visible as a result of a dark cloud God will bring over the earth. Genesis 1 also alludes to a dark cloud (the waters) covering the earth. Assuming this dark cloud (the waters) in Genesis 1 was caused by a global catastrophe, it could have been the cause of the sun, moon and stars not being visible on the first three days of creation week. [COLOR=RoyalBlue][B]“Now the earth was formless and empty, and darkness was over the surface of the deep, and the Spirit of God was hovering over the waters.”[/B][/COLOR] (Gen 1:2). This "waters" would have included the rain clouds above, the [URL="http://theocmd.files.wordpress.com/2010/09/goldengate-fog.jpg"]thick fog[/URL] in the [URL="http://www.skybrary.aero/images/Troposphere.jpg"]planetary boundary layer[/URL], and the surface water covering the land. Genesis 1 also tells us: [B][COLOR=RoyalBlue]“Then God said, ‘Let there be an expanse between the waters to separate water from water.’ So God made the expanse and separated the water under the expanse from the water above it; and it was so. God called the expanse ‘sky.’”[/COLOR] [/B](Gen 1:6-8). The expanse created on day two could have been formed simply by God removing the [URL="http://theocmd.files.wordpress.com/2010/09/goldengate-fog.jpg"]thick fog[/URL] from within the [URL="http://www.skybrary.aero/images/Troposphere.jpg"]planetary boundary layer[/URL]. The planetary boundary layer would then serve as the division (sky) that separated the water above (rain clouds) from the water below (surface water). [IMG]http://www.skybrary.aero/images/thumb/Troposphere.jpg/500px-Troposphere.jpg[/IMG] If Genesis 1 is indeed a re-creation event following a global catastrophe, the events described during creation week can be explained as follow: Following the global catastrophe, As the dark clouds covering the earth began to clear up, light from the sun began to penetrate the earth's atmosphere to reach the earth surface. And the evening and the morning were the first day. As the thick fog within the planetary boundary layer began to disappear, the expanse of the sky began to appear. And the evening and the morning were the second day. As the surface water receded from the earth's surface exposing the land to the sun-light penetrating the atmosphere, vegetation began to grow. And the evening and the morning were the third day. As the clouds covering the earth continued to clear up, the sun, moon and stars, which were hidden by those clouds, began to appear. And the evening and the morning were the fourth day. And the rest is history. [/QUOTE]
