1. Evening and the morning being used sort of destroys this theory
Not at all, Evening and Morning simply means beginning and ending of a day, in this instant that time period is the beginning and end of a period of time that began with Complete Darkness (there were no Stars for the first 400 million years) and thus ended with sunlight being birthed AND the Earth coming into form when OUR Sun was Birthed, no planet can come into existence without a Star to revive around.
So from the big bang and its total DARKNESS (Evening) to the DAYBREAK of our Sun (Morning), there were 9.2 billion years of time that elapsed.
The Wilkinson Microwave Anisotropy Probe (WMAP) mapped out our whole universe about 20 or so years ago with microwaves, so we can see the whole Universe from its beginning until now, and we now know there was 400 million years of Darkness, this is why the Evening coming first and then the Morning !! Now does it make sense that the word YOWM actually means "TO BE HOT" ? God is thus basing the word off of the Creation He created which in essence = TIMES BIRTH !! Thus all references are about a PERIOD OF TIME IN GENERAL !! A year, a month, a day, or even 9.2 billion years, or as with other days in the "days of creation" some were 350 million years in my estimation, so were more or less according to the events that are spoken of.
Now think of how this actually PROVES the Bible correct.
Genesis 1;1 In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth.
{ So the TIME PERIOD being spoken of as pertaining unto the FIRST DAY starts with the Creation of the Heaven and extends all the way to the Earth is formed, GET IT ? }
2 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. 3 And God said, Let there be light: and there was light.
So, God is saying here that the Earth is not around yet but the order for it to come into existence has been given, thus it has no form and is VOID (not there yet), and thus DARKNESS WAS ON THE FACE OF THE DEEP, and that is what the WMAP map shows us, 400 million Years of Darkness, so God Hmself (no man was there, LOL) is describing creation unto us, and He told us there was TOTAL DARKNESS, and this WMAP map backs up what God says !! BOOM !! Then it says God's Spirit moved on the FACE OF THE WATERS, and afterward God said LET THERE BE LIGHT because sunlight on our earth is only able to light up our earth because of a biodome/biosphere called the Atmosphere which holds moisture in. Without this biodome holding in moisture, a sunbeam would just travel in a straight beam of light and would not illuminate anything outside of its path. So, God is telling us things man hasn't been able to comprehend until recently, but now we have men who are stuck in OLD MEN'S TRADITIONS and reuse to understand that this WMAP map, actually proves God's Holy Word to be TRUTH.
A part of my old Blog on this below:
So we had the Big Bang, followed by Inflation, followed by Cosmic Microwave background where after 375,000 years loose electrons cool enough to combine with protons. The Universe becomes transparent to light. The Microwave background begins to shine. Then the dark ages/clouds of dark hydrogen gas cool and coalesce.
The first stars appear….Gas Clouds collapse,
the fusion of stars begins, the first of which appears about 400 million years after the big bang. So, when the bible says Darkness was on the face of the deep, God knew exactly what was happening in the very beginning !! The more we look for the answers, the more that science and the bible will converge, if both sides with differing viewpoints would only take their blinders off. Because science is only a journey from the unknown unto the known, and God is indeed that Creator whom we know, but they don't.
The second day (period of time) of course would be from the earth & the sun's formation until the grasses and trees came forth on the third day (period of time) then on the fourth day, it seems
"God set the Seasons" or placed the moon in its perfect orbit where our seasons are not strange, but orderly, I know the moon and earth are supposed to have collided. Anyway, that sets the seasons, times, years, etc., etc. Mind you, all of these ideas are rudimentary observations. A rudimentary deciphering of how the things God says in His Holy word and science can both be factual. They are not meant to imply everything went down just so and in like manner as per the dates, the dates of course are guesstimates, I wasn’t there, only God was.
On the fifth day, God created the sea animals/birds and whatnot, were the Dinos created here or with the land animals? The fifth day lasted 300 million to 400 million years or so. On the sixth day, around 300–350 million years B.C. God created the land animals. During this period of time, the Dinosaurs became extinct about 70 million years ago. Then, during this “TIME PERIOD” (6th day), God decided to create man 6000 or so years ago. Some people might protest that men have been around much longer than 6000 years, but I offer this up, where is the data? Men are record keepers and we don’t have proof of men going back any further than about 6000 years ago. Now as per
“Men” being observed by scientists to have been around X Number of years, I never said animal-like men weren’t around, I stated Human Beings were created 6000 years ago when God placed His spirit in us, and thus we are immortal beings in that our souls can not die. We were at that point in time
“Created in God's Image”. The other fossils and bones mean nothing to me because scientists have no way of testing for God imparting His spirit into mankind and creating
“Human Beings” with powerful intellects.
On the Seventh Day God rested, which only means He ceased creating the
Heavens/Earth/Mankind/Animals. So when we see stars and galaxies created today, it was ordered forth 13.7 billion years ago. So it's not necessarily either-or. We need to start looking at things with an open mind, be we an atheist or a Christian, I have noticed some Christians are just as stuck in wrong-think as atheists are, the one thinks he knows it all, the other misunderstands God's Holy word because he can't reason things through and thus both are at loggerheads with each other, and IMHO, both are wrong, we as Christians always need to lead with the TRUTH and thus Satan's lies get exposed via the spotlight of truth. We can never reach some people if we insist the Universe is 6000 years old, and our A-1 Job is to reach the lost with the Gospel of Jesus Christ which is based on TRUTH.
P.S. Just something to think about. Einstein’s theory of relativity is in the very first verse of the bible, relatively speaking….
Genesis 1:1 In the
beginning (TIME) God created the
heaven (SPACE) and the
earth (MATTER).
