Genesis Chapter 1
1 In the beginning God created the
heaven and the earth.
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.
4 And God saw the light, that it was
good: and God divided the light from the darkness.
5 And God called the light Day, and the
darkness he called Night. And the evening and the morning were the first day.
6 And God said, Let there be a firmament
in the midst of the waters, and let it divide the waters from the waters.
7 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.
8 And God called the firmament Heaven.
And the evening and the morning were the second day.
9 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.
10 And God called the dry land Earth; and
the gathering together of the waters called the Seas: and God saw that it was
good.
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.
12 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.
13 And the evening and the morning were
the third day.
14 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:
15 And let them be for lights in the
firmament of the heaven to give light upon the earth: and it was so.
16 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.
17 And God set them in the firmament of
the heaven to give light upon the earth,
18 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.
19 And the evening and the morning were
the fourth day.
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.
21 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.
22 And God blessed them, saying, Be
fruitful, and multiply, and fill the waters in the seas, and let fowl
multiply in the earth.
23 And the evening and the morning were
the fifth day.
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.
25 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.
26 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.
27 So God created man in his own image,
in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them.
28 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.
29 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.
30 And to every beast of the earth, and
to every fowl of the air, and to everything that creepeth upon the earth,
wherein there is life, I have given every green herb for meat: and it was so.
31 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.

1
- 2: What about the
other planets? What is this "heaven"? How can earth have be created
without form and void? If there is no form to the earth, how can a
"spirit" move across the face of the waters?
3
- 4: God speaks light
into existence and then separates it from darkness. (The existence of
darkness is dependent on the absence of light. How can God separate something
that's existence depends on it's separation from the other?) Why is an all
knowing being patting himself on the back for his creation?
5:
*Day 1 complete
Light
and Darkness created and separated from each other.
6
- 8: God needed a way
to separate the waters so there would be earth based water and sky based
water. God created a solid divider called Heaven.
So
Heaven is in between the sky-based waters and earth-based waters?
8:
*Day 2 complete
Heaven
created (which he was to have created already in the first verse) and uses it
to separate the waters above Heaven from the waters below Heaven.
9
- 10: God gathers all
the waters from the land into one
place and calls them "the Seas".
(If it’s all gathered in one place, why is called the Seas rather than the
Sea?) God gave the dry land permission to appear, which he called Earth.
"God
saw that it was good." – I get
it! You make something and you are happy with yourself for it.
11: Plants created (trees,herbs,
grass,etc)
12: In case you skipped the last verse,
plants were created. He thought he did a good job again. (This is starting to
become narcissistic.)
13:
*Day 3 complete
Plants
created.
14
- 18: God created stars
and placed them in Heaven, to provide light to Earth. One Light for day and
one for Night.
Note 1:
Scientific Fact: moonlight comes from the same source as daylight!
Note 2:
Stars are beyond the water in the sky. In fact the closest one - the Sun - is
between 146.5 - 149.5 million kms away. This distance is known as 1
astronomical unit or 1au.
Note 3:
If the Earth had no light until the fourth day, how did the plants survive?
19:
*Day 4 complete
Stars
created. Light and darkness separated, again.
20: God commands that the sea creatures
that hath life be brought forth from the waters and birds to fly in the
"open, solid layer of heaven".
Note
1: If God hasn't
created any creatures yet, how can those already alive to come forth from the
waters. And the fowls in the sky?
Note
2: So Heaven isn’t Heaven
but the sky?
Plausible
if not for the previous assertion that stars were placed in Heaven?!?
21
- 22: God created
birds and sea creatures “after their kind”.
God saw that it was
good."
This
narcissism is really annoying.
Wikipedia defines
Narcissistic personality disorder (NPD) as "...a personality disorder in which a person is excessively
preoccupied with personal adequacy, power, prestige and vanity."
23: *Day
5 complete
God
created sea creatures and birds.
24
- 25: God created land
animals. He made them after their own kind (Wait. If he created them, how can
they be made after their own kind? How can the initial animal be modeled
after itself?).
26
- 28: God makes
man/woman in his image. Shouldn't humans
be invisible then? I guess this explains the narcissism of humankind.
God commands that humans should
have lots of sex and make lots of babies. He further orders that humans restore
and control the earth, as well as having control over all other creatures on
earth.
Is this why some people
don't feel the need to have empathy towards non-human animals?
29
- 30: God tells man
and woman that they could eat of all the trees and herbs that bear seeds.
That they should treat it as though it is meat.
God
tells humans (who are new to earth and have never eaten a thing) that they
can eat the fruit and plants. Since they have no concept of food God explains
that it is like eating meat?
31: *Day
6 complete
God
creates all land animals, including humans.
