And I wonder if it's not just the evolution of what we call life, but also stars and planets and galaxies, and star and solar systems, etc... the life of them, or them and us all... What if it is all by design... intentional... by an intelligent (very intelligent) designer... who fully knows and knew it all from before ever starting it all, or setting it all in motion... One (to us) very, very, very, large (very large) and extremely complex (very complex) "program", but to God, or a or the God, maybe not so much, maybe not as large or as complex or as difficult to conceive of (or complex/detailed, etc) or as difficult to know, and know it all, from the very start of it, etc, to the very end of it, etc...

What if He uses, or is or was using, matter and energy, etc, and the very smallest parts that make up all the substance of these and all that we know (and some things we maybe do not yet know, or do not know yet) to "write" or "program", all his program on, or onto, etc...?

And it's all intentional and by design...?

That it all works together from the very smallest to the very largest, and us, and everything in-between, by a pre-arranged or pre-programmed "program" that He (God) both created and designed and gave "life" to, etc...?

What if huh...?

Would He interact with it though...? Would He have to, or choose to' "step in or into it" and be in it and be an active part of it every step of the way...? Or does or would "that One" or such a One have "others" for that, etc...?

Anyway, What if huh...?

God Bless!

It says He created them on the 6th day and rested the 7th---there is no 8th day mentioned.
God put them in them Garden of Eden on the Eighth day. That was 6,000 (5,990) years ago. He did no work on the 7th day. God’s creation week lasted seven days. The eighth day, then, was the beginning of a new week. Bionically the “eighth day” or the number eight is symbolic of the beginning of a new creation or resurrection from death into life.

After the 1,000 year reign of Christ there will be a new heaven and a new earth. This will be the eighth day from Adam. "Then I saw a new heaven and a new earth, for the first heaven and earth had passed away, and the sea was no more. I saw the holy city, the new Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband." (Rev 21:1,2)

what if we could write them on different material or things even smaller, like atoms or quantum particles, or with biology or biological material...?
They can write on atoms using the binary code of 0 or 1. We have a lot of atoms in our body. I had my son do the math on that and we have enough atoms in our body to store all the information on the internet 21,000 times. I had someone else run the math on that and he came up with pretty much the same results. At the time the challenge was to prove that our memory could survive death. WE know that the atoms in our body survive cremation. So it would be possible to store all of our memory on the atoms that make up our body.

JERUSALEM — Israeli scientists have inscribed the entire Hebrew text of the Jewish Bible onto a space less than half the size of a grain of sugar. Scientists inscribe entire Bible on head of a pin.

According to the Neil Degrasse Tyson the entire universe started out smaller then the period at the end of this sentence. The universe was very condensed and very hot.

Everything works together because everything in the universe is in contact with each other in real time. Maybe that is why we can go from here to Heaven in a instant and we can be in two different places at the same time.

I guess the big question one has to ask themselves, and the "dividing line" is or will or would be, when you look "out there" and "around here", at life, evolution, biology, physics, etc, and all of all the things both big or large and/or small, and "everything in-between", what do you see...?

Do you see just random chaos with nothing behind any of it at all, or do you see order and design, and maybe an intelligence behind it, or behind all of it, or it all, etc...?

I guess that is the question you have to ask yourself...? I see the latter, but I also know that, regardless, "regardless" some are still going to see the former probably, and probably "no matter what", as well...

Anyway,

God Bless!

the word is not "dark", but "formless" and "void"...? and it depends on what you think those words are or mean...?
Black holes are dark because light can not escape.

The reason nothing can escape a black hole is because within the event horizon, space is curved to the point where all directions are actually pointing inside. The escape velocity from within a black hole's event horizon is faster than the speed of light, hence light cannot go at that speed and thus cannot escape.

And God said, “Let there be light,” and there was light. And seeing that the light was good, God separated the light from the darkness. God called the light “day,” and the darkness He called “night.” And there was evening, and there was morning—the first day (Genesis 1:3-5)

Morning is when light first appears on the horizon.

but "formless" and "void"...?
This is represented by the letter VOV. We see this in the first sentence in the AND in Heaven AND Earth. Jesus teaches us to pray Thy Kingdom Come, Thy will be Done on Earth as it is in Heaven. So Jesus came to offer Himself so that Heaven and Earth could become united as one.

What does VOV mean...?

And do you mean both formless and void is represented by this one letter...? Or are there actual, perhaps separate (or not maybe?) "words" for "formless" and/or "void" maybe...?

And if so, what do they mean, etc...?

I don't know much Hebrew, but I would think "formless" would mean "without form" (yet), at least "here" anyway, and "void" would be similar to "empty" maybe...?

What do you say, or what say you...?

God Bless!

He created them on the 6th day---and Adam named the animals on that day, also. They were there and fully functional on day 6---day 7th was a day of rest----there was no day 8. There was no representing of death at this point for sin had not entered into creation. Day 1 was the next day, beginning a new week.
After the 1000 years there is judgement day for the wicked, then everything is thrown into the lake of fire---and then the earth is remade. There is no 8th day. There is a new day 1 of everything.

Correct, after the "age", or era of Christ's reign, (the seventh day) that takes place after armageddon, and then lasts until the very, very end of all things, a new beginning will begin again, you are correct in that...

Anyway and/or but, right before that end, that "very very end", and right before a new beginning, the second resurrection and final judgement happens or takes place, and all that are not His at that point of the second resurrection and right after that, are either cast into the lake of fire, or are destroyed and/or annihilated, but completely removed from both ours and God's presence permanently anyway...

Those that have taken part in the first resurrection and reigned with Christ before that time (and/but after armageddon) in this creation still, will be re-joined and reunited with those found worthy during or "right, right after" the second resurrection (and the final judgement), and the rest will be gone or cast off or cast out or thrown away, etc, then a whole new beginning will begin, starting at a "day 1" again...

You are correct in and/or on that, etc...

God Bless!

He created them on the 6th day
What you need to do is to study science and ancient history. I have studied both for over 50 years now. Just when do you think this 6th day was?

What does VOV mean...?
This is a short teaching that can explain a lot better then I can . Jeremiah 4:23 talks about this also:
"I looked at the earth, and it was formless and empty; I looked to the heavens, and they had no light".

Thanks, I watched it, and added my commentary, thanks...

Some very good info, mainly the part I disagree with, is about it having to be "six" "one-thousand years periods of time"...? I think it could just as easily mean six time periods or periods of time for which we do not have any specific specified length yet, or six, (but actually seven total), much, much longer periods of time, like ages or eras, or "epochs" which are defined by events and not so much time exactly or specifically, etc... But, thanks... I learned a few things, some things I knew that I didn't know I knew, etc... I spoke about them in my commentary, etc...

Still didn't go into the whole "earth being formless and void" part though...?

God Bless!

LOOL!!---it was after the 5th day and before the 7th!!!

You perhaps need a refresher course---there is no 8th day.

No, YEC, science ...and the bible tells us the earth is young. When you add up the ages of the people mentioned you get about 6,000 years. Bishop Usher did the math.

You've misapplied the bible when it talks about 1 day being 1000 years.

"I looked at the earth, and it was formless and empty; I looked to the heavens, and they had no light".



Jer 4:23 I beheld the earth, and, lo, it was without form, and void; and the heavens, and they had no light.
Jer 4:24 I beheld the mountains, and, lo, they trembled, and all the hills moved lightly.
Jer 4:25 I beheld, and, lo, there was no man, and all the birds of the heavens were fled.
Jer 4:26 I beheld, and, lo, the fruitful place was a wilderness, and all the cities thereof were broken down at the presence of the LORD, and by his fierce anger.
Jer 4:27 For thus hath the LORD said, The whole land shall be desolate; yet will I not make a full end.
Jer 4:28 For this shall the earth mourn, and the heavens above be black: because I have spoken it, I have purposed it, and will not repent, neither will I turn back from it.

This is during the 1000 years----and this is the bottomless pit---the abyss--to which Satan and his angels are sent. An empty earth--destroyed by the 2nd coming.

2Pe_3:10 But the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night; in the which the heavens shall pass away with a great noise, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat, the earth also and the works that are therein shall be burned up.
2Pe_3:12 Looking for and hasting unto the coming of the day of God, wherein the heavens being on fire shall be dissolved, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat?

He returns for the saved, the living wicked are destroyed and the rest of the wicked dead remain dead until the 1000 years---there is no one here for them to tempt until the resurrection of the wicked unto their judgment.

Rev 20:5 But the rest of the dead lived not again until the thousand years were finished. This is the first resurrection.
Rev 20:6 Blessed and holy is he that hath part in the first resurrection: on such the second death hath no power, but they shall be priests of God and of Christ, and shall reign with him a thousand years.

Yes it does...six days. Exo 20:11 For in six days the LORD made the heavens and the earth and the sea and all that is in them, but on the seventh day He rested. Therefore the LORD blessed the Sabbath day and set it apart as holy.
