So I assume instant creation dosnt have the whole 7 day thing?
Instant creation refers to God creating and populating the universe in six literal days by way of voice commands (divine fiats).

I could have titled this thread: Taking Questions on a Literal Six Day Creation, but choose a title with less syllables.

Explain your model, theory, explanation, and provide any evidence you have gathered.
[VERSE=Genesis 1:1-31,KJV][VERSENUM]1[/VERSENUM] In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth.

[VERSENUM]2[/VERSENUM] And the earth was without form, and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters.

[VERSENUM]3[/VERSENUM] And God said, Let there be light: and there was light.

[VERSENUM]4[/VERSENUM] And God saw the light, that it was good: and God divided the light from the darkness.

[VERSENUM]5[/VERSENUM] And God called the light Day, and the darkness he called Night. And the evening and the morning were the first day.

[VERSENUM]6[/VERSENUM] And God said, Let there be a firmament in the midst of the waters, and let it divide the waters from the waters.

[VERSENUM]7[/VERSENUM] And God made the firmament, and divided the waters which were under the firmament from the waters which were above the firmament: and it was so.

[VERSENUM]8[/VERSENUM] And God called the firmament Heaven. And the evening and the morning were the second day.

[VERSENUM]9[/VERSENUM] And God said, Let the waters under the heaven be gathered together unto one place, and let the dry land appear: and it was so.

[VERSENUM]10[/VERSENUM] And God called the dry land Earth; and the gathering together of the waters called he Seas: and God saw that it was good.

[VERSENUM]11[/VERSENUM] 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.

[VERSENUM]12[/VERSENUM] And the earth brought forth grass, and herb yielding seed after his kind, and the tree yielding fruit, whose seed was in itself, after his kind: and God saw that it was good.

[VERSENUM]13[/VERSENUM] And the evening and the morning were the third day.

[VERSENUM]14[/VERSENUM] And God said, Let there be lights in the firmament of the heaven to divide the day from the night; and let them be for signs, and for seasons, and for days, and years: [VERSENUM]15[/VERSENUM] And let them be for lights in the firmament of the heaven to give light upon the earth: and it was so.

[VERSENUM]16[/VERSENUM] And God made two great lights; the greater light to rule the day, and the lesser light to rule the night: he made the stars also.

[VERSENUM]17[/VERSENUM] And God set them in the firmament of the heaven to give light upon the earth, [VERSENUM]18[/VERSENUM] And to rule over the day and over the night, and to divide the light from the darkness: and God saw that it was good.

[VERSENUM]19[/VERSENUM] And the evening and the morning were the fourth day.

[VERSENUM]20[/VERSENUM] 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.

[VERSENUM]21[/VERSENUM] And God created great whales, and every living creature that moveth, which the waters brought forth abundantly, after their kind, and every winged fowl after his kind: and God saw that it was good.

[VERSENUM]22[/VERSENUM] And God blessed them, saying, Be fruitful, and multiply, and fill the waters in the seas, and let fowl multiply in the earth.

[VERSENUM]23[/VERSENUM] And the evening and the morning were the fifth day.

[VERSENUM]24[/VERSENUM] 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.

[VERSENUM]25[/VERSENUM] And God made the beast of the earth after his kind, and cattle after their kind, and every thing that creepeth upon the earth after his kind: and God saw that it was good.

[VERSENUM]26[/VERSENUM] And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth.

[VERSENUM]27[/VERSENUM] So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them.

[VERSENUM]28[/VERSENUM] And God blessed them, and God said unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth, and subdue it: and have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over every living thing that moveth upon the earth.

[VERSENUM]29[/VERSENUM] And God said, Behold, I have given you every herb bearing seed, which is upon the face of all the earth, and every tree, in the which is the fruit of a tree yielding seed; to you it shall be for meat.

[VERSENUM]30[/VERSENUM] And to every beast of the earth, and to every fowl of the air, and to every thing that creepeth upon the earth, wherein there is life, I have given every green herb for meat: and it was so.

[VERSENUM]31[/VERSENUM] And God saw every thing that he had made, and, behold, it was very good. And the evening and the morning were the sixth day.[/VERSE]

So everything in Genesis 2 happened after Genesis 1 -- no crossover whatsoever?
There are overlaps.

Such as my favorite question:

How many times was Adam placed in the Garden in Genesis 2.[VERSE=Genesis 2:8,KJV]And the LORD God planted a garden eastward in Eden; and there he put the man whom he had formed.[/VERSE][VERSE=Genesis 2:15,KJV]And the LORD God took the man, and put him into the garden of Eden to dress it and to keep it.[/VERSE]But I would rather keep this thread focused on Genesis 1, where the creation events took place.

Did you decide the garden of eden was in New Jersey just because New Jersey is called the garden state?
The Garden of Eden, IMO, was in [what is now] China.

You're saying there are no creation events in 2 and 3?

There are [ex materia] creation events throughout the Bible.

Such as with the widow of Zarephath.[VERSE=1 Kings 17:14-16,KJV][VERSENUM]14[/VERSENUM] For thus saith the LORD God of Israel, The barrel of meal shall not waste, neither shall the cruse of oil fail, until the day that the LORD sendeth rain upon the earth.

[VERSENUM]15[/VERSENUM] And she went and did according to the saying of Elijah: and she, and he, and her house, did eat many days.

[VERSENUM]16[/VERSENUM] And the barrel of meal wasted not, neither did the cruse of oil fail, according to the word of the LORD, which he spake by Elijah.[/VERSE]

None ex nihilo.

No, the Ark was built in [what is now] New Jersey.

It ended in the mountains of Ararat.

Ok, got it.

When and how did people get from China to New Jersey?

I guess no one wants to talk about creation, eh?

May as well make this an all-purpose Q&A thread.

Adam was told to replenish the earth.

I'm sure they didn't just hang around in the general area.

Especially after they were evicted from the Garden.

Over the centuries, I'm sure the general population spread out over Eden (a.k.a., Pangaea, Gondwana, whatever) from coast to coast.
