IN THE BEGINNING GOD CREATED THE HEAVEN OR FIRMAMENT, (SINGULAR) AND THE EARTH or DRY LAND (SINGULAR) GENESIS 1: 1

 

THE CHAOTIC EARTH, THE PRE-ADAMITE EARTH

 

This creation was in the dateless past. the six days' work as described in Gen 1;3.31 WAS THE RESTORATION OF THE EARTH TO ITS ORIGINAL CONDITION before it was made formless and void" and submerged in water and darkness. Peter speaks of it as the WORLD THAT THEN WAS, that being overflowed with water, perished," 2 Peter. 3:5.7. The manner of the creation of the PRE-ADAMITE EARTH" is not revealed in the Scriptures. They simly declare that.., In the begining God created the HEAVEN and the EARTH ." And in that statement we have all Millenniums of time that science may require for the formation of the earth as a planet. There are those who would say that the Blble is a Book of history that were written by man and therefore can not be trusted as fact because man is fallible, Well ask yourself a question, What Book on the face of this earth that were not written by man? should we than dismiss all Books that is written by man? what than would be our sources of information if not man? the difference with as to the Bible source is that it was inspired,' and that inspiration came from God. just as man is inspired to write by someone such as a Friend or companion or another writer and is given that inspiration to write happens all the time. does that mean that what he writes is not true or have no value?

 

The Original Earth" was doubless a most beautiful earth, coverd with vegetation and inhabited with fish, fowl and animal life, and probably with human life. How long it continue in this condition we are not told, but an awful catastrophe befell it, it became FORMLESS AND VOID" and submerged in water and darkness. Gen 1:26

 

That it was not originally so, we know from Isa. 45: 18. Thus saith the Lord that created the heavens; He is God; that formed the earth and made it; He established it. He created it NOT A WASTE, He formed it to be inhabited." What cause the earth to become a WASTE after its original creation is not clearly revealed. it is clear from the account of the fall of Adam and Eve that sin existed before man was created.

 

This inference is that Satan and his angels were in charge of the PRE-ADAMITE EARTH, that they rebelled, and by rebellion brought destruction on the PRE-ADAMITE EARTH and its inhabitants, and for their sin were excluded from Heaven and now occupy the Heavenlies," and that they are the Principalities and Powers over which Satan rules and of whom we are warned in Eph 6:12.

 

The manner then in which the PRE-ADAMITE EARTH was made formless and void was by WATER. Violent convulsions must have wrecked the PRE-ADAMITE EARTH and covered its surface with the waters of it oceans. Not a living creature remained alive upon it, and its atmosphere of murky darkness hid the light of the sun, moon and stars. To all intents and purposes it was a dead planet, though the seed of its vegetable life remained entombed in it bosom ready to spring into resurection life. the six day's work as describedin Gen. 1:1.31 is not a description of How God made the Original Earth" but how He restored it from its formless and void" condition to its present state.

 

The recreation refered to in genesis 1:1 is the creation of the beginning of the Heaven and the Earth before Adam and that earth became formless, and void, and covered with water in darkness. This is the earth that Peter speak of in 2 Peter 3: 5 when he said for this they willingly are ignorant of, that by the word of God the heavens were of OLD, and the earth standing out of the water and in the water; whereby the WORLD THAT THEN WAS, being overflowed with water, perished.

 

Why did this world perished? and who were the occupants of that world? In order to understand who the occupants were, we must filled in the missing pieces from both Scriptures and Science.

 

SCIENCE, (A) THE SYSTEMATIC STUDY AND (KNOWLEDGE) OF NATURAL OR PHYSICAL PHENOMENA. (B) ANY BRANCH OF STUDY CONCERNED WITH OBSERVED MATERIAL (FACT).

 

Let us first deal with the science, and what science have to say concerning the Heavens (FIRMAMENT, STARS, PLANETS). first, there is no argument from science or scripture that the heaven and the earth exist, Now that both agree with this fact, let us move on to the evidences as to how and why. (How) some scientists do have a theory as to how, theory. (1).supposition to account for somthing. (2).system of rules and principles. (3). rules and reasoning as distinguished from practice," and (4) speculative as opposed to practical. WEBSTER'S NEW REFERENCE LIBRARY DICTIONARIES.

 

There is nothing wrong with science if that science is base on fact and not theory. there is no problem with fact findings which is what science surpose to be about," however, the problem in most cases are the scientist, not the science. there are thousands of scientists who base their findings on proven facts after they have research and their findings is proven to be fact" and on the other hand there are equal amounts of scientist who for money will lie on their mother's grave. for example, a few years ago, many scientist who represented the tobacco industry hearded into Washington in testified under oat that cigarette smoking was not addicted, knowing very well that was not true.

 

And another example of scienctist who lied is those scientist who work for profit in the fossil fuel industry who say that the level of fossil fuels in the air place no real danger to the Public. they lobby congress daily for subsidized tax dollor that further insults the America people. these are examples of junk scientist who base thier finding on how much money they can get through lieding about thier scientific studies. again, not all scientist are currupt. but these currupt scientist places a mock on those good scientist.

 

The Big BANG Theory, Many scientist are exploring this big BANG ideal or theory as to what really happen, and as to how the universe came to exist," and it is yet to be proven, but some scienctist are parading this Big BANG Theory as if it were fact. A theory is just that, a theory," and It is not proof of anything, and that is why it is called a theory. this kind of thinking is what is called junk science, science fiction, sci-fi , stories set in a fantasy world making imaginative use of scientific knowledge. the notion that the Universe begin with a tiny small Adam sometime in the distance past  exploded," and the gases and materials from that explod or big bang cause the Universe. this thoery is not fact, never been proven but is play over and over on the history channels as if this is fact and is the way our universe begin and they can say it with a straight face.

 

No reasonable person or scientist rail against what is fact, they just denied the unknown until it is known or have been proven to be fact. and there is no argument that the universe exist and that we are a small part of it, the argument is how it come to exist? and science have no answers no more than a man in the moon and we know that there is no man in the moon or on the moon. (FACT).

 

Just because something is unknown or that something have yet to be proved or proven, that does not mean that it does not exist or is not real, it only mean that in your eyes it does not exist," and if mankind went on that assumption, nothing would ever be discovered." and Scientist can never say that what they does not understand is not necessary real, they can only say that it have not been discovered, or proven.

 

When Peter speaks about the world that then was, 2 Peter 3:5. this seen to explan why so many Age old artifacts and discoveries of things dating back millons of years are found on earth, Some creationist say that the earth is only about 6000 years into existence, this theory is base on false or no evidences at all. Dinosaurs fossils and bone fossils of creatures," and fossils of what we called early man dating back thousounds of years is proof that life existed before Adam and perished by some force not completely known to man, but that the Bible accredited to God," and that the Earth that was recreated is the one in same earth which is called Adam's world.

 

ADAM'S WORLD, A RECREATED EARTH. GENISIS 1:1. THE CREATION

 

In the beginning God. Whenever we speak of the beginnings of things as related to God. God is alway the creator, the giver of life, the sourse of all things seen and unseen. God is here denoted as the creator of the heaven and of the earth. Gen 1:1; and the earth was without form, had no form, out of its nutural shape or figure, and void; empty, lifeless, and darkness was upon the face of the deep. it was surrounded by darkness. And the Spirit of God moved, God in motion, God in action, He was about to do something upon the face of the waters. He was about to recreated the World that then was, and had been full of life and was now void, empty, and formless.

 

This notion that God created the Earth in six days is misleading and unreasonable," In the frist chapter of Genisis, God recreates the chaotic Earth that was already in existence, but in a chaotic state, only Adam and Eve," and all animal life, and vegetations of the fields were created, How long the Earth was in existence we are no told? God recreates in the Earth what He had created before, that is , the animal life, such as the fowl of the air, cattle, the beast of the field, and vegetation of which were detroyed during the pre-Adamite world. This was a new Earth, This was a new man, these were new animals, and new vegetation life that God had made and recreatic over. for the Old Earth had been replenish by its maker and God was please with the work that He had done and blessed it to be inhabited by man.

 

WHAT HAPPEN TO THIS WORLD (EARTH)?

 

We no from artifacts and fossils evidences that were found by Archaeologist and scholars all around the planet that dates back millioms if not trillions of years is material proof that the earth is of Old, the earth that Peter spoked of in 2 Peter 3:5. the world that then was, standing out of the waters, being overflowed with water perished, was the same earth that was recreated in Genisis 1:1 that was surrounded by water Genisis 1: 1.26...2:3.  This is the account of the new recreated earth that already was in existence long before Adam was created," and that God is now recreating the earth over to be inhabit by living creatures again, moving creatures that had life, every one after its kind, and the fowl of the air,  fish that fil the water and the seas, multiplied after its kind, cattle and all manner of creeping things, and the beast of the earth after his kind. Gen1: 20.25.

 

THE CREATION OF MAN GENESIS 26:31

 

And God said, Let (US) pron. plural. the objective case of we, Me and You, make man in (OUR) pron. plural. objective case of us, image, after our likeness; and let (them) plural, have dominion. when God speak of man as plural in creation He means that out of one there is two, which is understood to be women," and when (GOD) said let us, he means in one is three, God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit. (THE GOD HEAD) For God is a Triune God, three in one.

 

In Gensis 1:26 God tell the story of man's creation," and what form and likeness, and the image He created him in, and set forth and give man authority over the earth and every living creature that He had made,for out of the ground God made and formed every beast of the field, and every fowl of the air.

 

So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them, and God blessed them, this is who man is, not in the image of some fowl animals like the Apes or big foot, who some say may be the missing link. but like God, with wisdom and understanding, intelligent, free will but innocence.

 

And in the second chapter of Genisis God go about to explan how the man and woman was made. Gen 26.8...15: 24. Now the Lord God had not cause it to rain upon the earth, and there was not a man to till the ground. but there went up a mist from the earth and watered the ground, and the Lord God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of like;  and man became a living soul. Gen: 2:6.7. the Is how Adam's world was created after the chaotic earth perished. this is now Adam world for God had gave man authority and dominion over all that was created on the face of the earth to rule over it. and God said to the man, be fruitful and mutiply and replenish the EARTH

 

And the Lord God said, it is not good that the man should be alone; I will make him a help meet for him. (MEET) come face to face with, come into contact, satisfy, some one of his equal. not a mate or meek to be submissive or to rule over, Adam's rule was to be over the earth along with Eve, and she was to help him and be a companion to him, this was the origial purpose for God creating the woman before the fall." and after the fall God gave the man authority to rule over the woman because of her eating of the fruit of the tree of the garden which God had told them not to touch or eat of.

 

This is the beginning of Adam's world, the newly created earth, the earth to which mankind live today, The earth that God made and created to be inhabited. Isa. 45:18
