As my OP shows from Scripture: God's Scriptural Timeline
23 Billion years ago The first Day Gen. 1:3
18 Billion years ago God makes Adam's Earth Gen 1:9-10
14 Billion years ago Adam is formed Gen 2:4
13.8 Billion years ago The Big Bang of our Cosmos happens Gen 2:4
4.53 Billion years ago The present Earth is formed Gen 2:4
3.77 Billion years ago Universal Common Ancestor appears in water Gen 1:21
5-6 Million years ago Prehistoric man diverges from Chimps Gen 6:4
11 Thousand years ago Noah brings Human (descendants of Adam) civilization to planet Earth Gen 8:4 Noah's grandsons marry prehistoric people and produce today's Humans
2 Thousand years ago Jesus walks on planet Earth
John 3:16
Soon, Jesus returns at Armageddon, rules Earth for a thousand years, and the 6th Day/Age ends Gen 1:31
The 7th Day, the Age of Joy, begins Gen 2:1-3 Amen?
I know you said that on your OP, but it doesn't tell me how you came to this conclusion. Where is your supporting scripture to come to this conclusion given the context/nature of these verses that are in Hebrew. The grammar, context, definition of words throughout the bible, do not match what you are telling me. Where is your support for this conclusion?
Next, Genesis 2 is the same events as Genesis one only magnified to be more specific than broad based like Genesis one was. Writers do this all the time in books. They give a broad spectrum of events, then detail them out throughout the book. Genesis one and two are no different than that example I gave.
To explain it another way, in Genesis one pretend you are in outer space, you are watching God create the "heavens and the earth" and the rest of such things the chapter describes. Then like watching a movie, you pause it and rewind a little bit. From your position in Chapter one, outer space, now you zoom in to see more detail of what God did on earth. Then you press play again to watch the same events happening, only now your zoomed in you cant see the broad part you saw before because your looking at specific things in that same event, paying more attention to them than the whole.
Like I said, writers of books do this frequently. The concept is nothing new.
As far as evolving from chimps, I see no evidence of that. The bible doesn't even mention one word about this. It's not even fact, only speculation and conjecture, a theory, for those that wish to disprove the bible or even water it down.
As far as we know to this day, humans beget humans, chimps beget chimps, there is not one animal in all history that begot something that was not of its specie. You can mix a Husky with a German Shepard, but they are still dogs begetting dogs. You cannot mix a Husky and an Arabian Horse. They are completely different species and it would never happen. You or anyone else cannot prove that a chimp can beget a human. It never happened and it cannot be proved one iota.
Also, you make it sound like Noah was not on earth to begin with. Is that what you believe? Noah was on earth the entire time with his sons, who were married already mind you (Genesis 6:18). Noahs son's being already married BEFORE the flood were the ones that helped populate the earth by the blessing of God who was pleased with them you see after the flood. Noah, his wife, his sons, his sons wives, were the only people left after the flood so the only people there was to marry for his grandsons were other members of family. Unless you can find me scripture that says there were others who were saved on the ark to prove the grandsons married "prehistoric people".
Next I would like to say, is there are no ages mentioned in Genesis one or two. The grammar, context, and definition of the Hebrew language then does not match the "ages/periods" theory.
The Hebrew word for "day" in Genesis is Yowm (pronounced Yom). And while I agree that that word could be used to say an age, period, or any length of time, the context/grammar of the rest of the statements in Genesis do not allow for it to mean any more than just a 24 hour period.
Example:
"And the evening and the morning were the first day."
In no way can one state that this is a whole entire age or period.
"evening" here in Genesis 1 in Hebrew is
`ereb which means dusk:— day, even(-ing, tide), night.
"morning" here in Hebrew is
boqer which means properly, dawn (as the break of day); generally, morning:—(+) day, early, morning, morrow.
Then look at "day" definition in Hebrew =
"from an unused root meaning to be hot; a day (as the warm hours), whether literal (from sunrise to sunset, or from one sunset to the next), or figurative (a space of time defined by an associated term), (often used adverb):—age, always, chronicals, continually(-ance), daily, ((birth-), each, to) day, (now a, two) days (agone), elder, × end, evening, (for) ever(-lasting, -more), × full, life, as (so) long as (... live), (even) now, old, outlived, perpetually, presently, remaineth, ×required, season, × since, space, then, (process of) time, as at other times, in trouble, weather, (as) when, (a, the, within a) while (that), × whole ( age), (full) year(-ly), younger."
Combined with "evening" and "morning" you are forced to apply "day"/Yowm a ONE 24 hour day.
To say anything otherwise destroys the grammar/context of what scripture says there.
In six days (24 hour days) God made all that there is.
Genesis One is the complete History up to the present 6th Day/Age including events which will NOT take place until after Jesus returns.
Genesis 1:28-31 is prophecy of those future events. None of the events from Gen 1:28 to 31 have happened in the past, but will happen on the present 6th Day/Age in the creation of the perfect Heaven. God bless you
How can you say Genesis 1:28-31 has not happened?
Humans have been multiplying on the earth since God gave us that physical blessing. Everything God made was good and there is only evil in the world due to Adam and Eve not obeying God's commands. God has already made trees obviously and crawly things. I don't understand how you came to this conclusion. These things have been since Adam and Eve.
Where is your support to explain this?
