I believe exactly what Gen 1 says:
Genesis 1:11 KJV
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.
What brought forth the grass?
God did. He is the only PERSON in the text to be a "WHO" - How is this even a little confusing.
Try going to a barren planet Mars and saying to the ground "let mars bring forth grass" and see what happens. You cannot do that and have grass come up -- and I think we both know it.
Genesis 1:20 KJV
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.
What brought forth the sea creatures and air creatures?
We call Him "God"
Ex 20: 11 For
in six days the Lord made the heavens and the earth, the sea
and all that is in them, and rested on the seventh day; therefore the Lord blessed the sabbath day and made it holy.
Ps 33: 6
By the word of the Lord the heavens
were made,
And by the breath of His mouth all their host.
Ps 33: 9 For
He spoke, and it was done;
He commanded, and it stood fast.
Gen 1:9 Then
God said, “Let the waters below the heavens be gathered into one place, and let the dry land appear”; and it was so. 10 God called the dry land earth, and the gathering of the waters He called seas; and God saw that it was good. 11
Then God said, “Let the earth sprout vegetation, plants yielding seed,
and fruit trees on the earth bearing fruit after their kind with seed in them”; and it was so. 12 The earth brought forth vegetation, plants yielding seed after their kind, and trees bearing fruit with seed in them, after their kind;
and God saw that it was good. 13 There was
evening and there was morning, a third day.
No evolution text would use such language to describe a NOT day - nor would they have plants appear a few million years before the Sun was made
Genesis 1:24 KJV
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.
What brought forth the living creature of the earth?
We call Him "God"
Ex 20: 11 For
in six days the Lord made the heavens and the earth, the sea
and all that is in them, and rested on the seventh day; therefore the Lord blessed the sabbath day and made it holy.
Ps 33: 6
By the word of the Lord the heavens
were made,
And by the breath of His mouth all their host.
Ps 33: 9 For
He spoke, and it was done;
He commanded, and it stood fast.
Gen 1:9
23 There was
evening and there was morning, a fifth day.
24
Then God said, “Let the earth bring forth living creatures after their kind:... and God saw that it was good. 26
Then God said, “Let Us make man in Our image, according to Our likeness; and let them rule over the fish of the sea and over the birds of the sky and over the cattle and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creeps on the earth.” 27 God created man in His own image, in the image of God He created him; male and female He created them. ...31 God saw all that He had made, and behold, it was very good. And there was evening and
there was morning, the sixth day.
Gen 2:19
Out of the ground the Lord
God formed every beast of the field and every bird of the sky, and brought
them to the man to see what he would call them; and whatever the man called a living creature, that was its name.
No evolution text would use such language to describe a NOT day - nor would they have plants appear a few million years before the Sun was made
God spoke words into the dirt and water of the earth
God's power alone takes barren dust and transforms it instantly into a horse in a single day.. from the dust of the ground.
No biology text makes such a statement
Try going to a barren planet Mars and saying to the ground "let mars bring forth a horse" and see what happens. You cannot do that and have a horse appear -- and I think we both know it.
=====================
In every instance the case for evolutionism's doctrine on origins must be made by deleting Bible details and the re-imagining the text.
Well this is not really a theological question just reading comprehension.
hmm - I tend to agree.
To restate:
Then God said, “Let the earth bring forth..."
What brought forth the life? What did God tell to do it?
Yes God empowered it to bring forth the life,
I can "empower a person" to do something. But I cannot "empower" dust to do things as if the dust were saying "sorry can't do that - I have not been empowered" - furthermore nothing in dust can "take other dust and tansform it into tissue of a horse then link it all up into a living horse".
It would be like saying "I turned dust into God so it could transform dust into a horse".
It is not logical
If I owned a widget factory and someone asked me what I did, I would say I make widgets. When more technically it is my workers and my factory that do the actual manufacturing of the widgets.
But it is not the sand in the cement that does it and it is not the Iron Ore in the steel that does it. You keep missing the point
If I say to my employees, "let the employees make the widgets,"
Employees that already have the ability to do something can be given "permission" or "given authority" to do something but you can't give that power "to their shoe laces" because shoe laces not only lacked the authority/permission - they also lacked the ability and sentient capacity
God created a life machine, and He empowered it to bring forth life
Nope.
God took dust and from dust alone God made the horse, the man, the rabbit. As the text says - and he did it in a single rotation of the planet -- one "evening and morning"
