Understanding Genesis 1:1

[Rondonmon]

What part of the 9.2 billion years was the evening of the First YOWM and what part of the 9.2 billion years was the morning of the First YOWM? and are the evenings and mornings of the other YOWMs the same amount of time? And if not, what is the significance of the evening and the morning?

So ignorant

I don't think that it important to know that God created us and our world as it is out of nothing or out of a dark planet void of God. God is truth, and if sometimes science discovers a truth of God, it sometimes helps our understanding. That was true when science discovered God created a round earth instead of the square one man imagined. It is only important to know God is truth.

And the evening and the morning were the first day.
And the evening and the morning were the second day.
And the evening and the morning were the third day.
And the evening and the morning were the fourth day.
And the evening and the morning were the fifth day.
And the evening and the morning were the sixth day.

I suggest that they were all the same length of time.

I suggest that there is significance to the repeated use of the words 'the evening and the morning'.

So ignorant

Are you saying that you feel "so ignorant" for not being able to answer his [simple] questions?

I have already destroyed you guys, You are the worst, you will dodge quicker than anyone. You will see very soon that your assumptions were all wrong. Just leave prophecy alone, its not your bag. I do not chew my cud twice.

 

[Romans34]

I have already destroyed you guys, You are the worst, you will dodge quicker than anyone. You will see very soon that your assumptions were all wrong. Just leave prophecy alone, its not your bag. I do not chew my cud twice.

I am sure I re-read the posts correctly, and I believe it is you that has been the dodger (of questions).

Genesis 1:1 "In the beginning" - what does this really mean?

The beginning of the creating of the heavens and the Earth..

It cannot mean the existence of God because God has always been He had no beginning and will have no end..
