Moses writes in Genesis that God created the heavens and earth and man in six days. So are they actually six 24 hour days? Since time does not exist in eternity, no one knows. It may have been six actual days or six months or six years, we will not know until we get to heaven. I like to think that when God created the universe he took his time. Could God have went boom and it's done, he certainly could have. But I believe he said hm, the northern star should go here, I want the southern cross here, the milky way goes here, he enjoyed it and took pleasure in it.
In Genesis 1:27, God creates man, male & female, in verse 28 He said be fruitful and multiply. Then in Genesis 2:7, God creates Adam. It is generally thought that chapter 2 verse 7 and beyond is merely a closer look at chapter 1 verse 27. However let us take a closer look. When God created man male & female, he told them to fill the earth. When he created Adam, God breathed into the nostrils of Adam and he became a living being. It was just Adam and God placed him in a garden east in Eden. I believe this is a direct point, that Adam was moved east of where man & woman where at. Otherwise why be specific as to the location, east.
Then Adam named all of the animals. After a period of time, no one knows how long, God said is was not good for Adam to be alone and so Eve was created from the the rib s of Adam. Adam and Eve where placed in the garden to have fellowship with God. Then Adam and Eve had Cain & Abel. If Adam & Eve where the only people on earth, then had Cain & Abel, When Cain killed Abel and God told them to leave the garden, and Cain said (Genesis 4:14) it will come about that whoever finds me will kill me. Who will find him?
Scientist have been mystified by what they call the missing link between modern man & the cave man. Perhaps the creation of man in chapter one was the caveman and the creation of Adam was the modern man. As I continue, you will see the main difference between man & Adam.
genesis 6:1, Now it came about when men began to multiply on the face of the land and daughters where born to them, 6:2, that the sons of God saw that the daughters of men where beautiful and they took wives for themselves, whomever they chose. There is debate over who these sons of God are. Polular believe is that they were heavenly beings come down from heaven, thus the gaints to be born in the land, or they were Cains children. However there is but one Son of God and that is Jesus! There for the sons of God can only refer to Adam and his sons & grandsons.
Genesis 6:5, Then the Lord saw that the wickness of man was great on the earth and that every intent of his heart was only evil, continually. Now we have to go back to look at chapters one & two again. In chapter one, when God created man male & female, he did not breathe the breath of life into them. When He created Adam, he breathed the breath of life into him, thus giving him a soul and a conscience. When Eve was created from the rib of Adam, she came out of him and she to had a soul and consience. Man had became so evil because he did not have a soul or conscience.
Man was so evil and co-mingled with mankind who had souls & consience, that God was sorry he had created man. God knew that evil wpould prevail in those who did not have a soul or conscience and those man & women from the garden would continue to mate with man & woman.
Noah and his family where seekers of God, so through Noah's family, he ended the era of man without soul or conscience and started the new era. We are not perfect by any means, God did not intend for us to be perfect, but to seek him in all things.
Is there still evil in the world? Of cousre there is, its seems that there are those today who do not have a conscience , but they do. They must learn to take captive every thought, but that is another subject to be addressed later.
I hope this sparks some thought. It should make you think. So dig into God's word and see what he says about all of this to you.
