SEVEN DAYS OF CREATION

The Seven Days Of Creation

We all realize that God was Creator, but how often do we consider what was involved in that creation? God was a chemist, a physicist, an astronomer, a biologist. God is most certainly an artist, a creator, and a maker of all of our world's beauty.


I'm a double Science Major, Majoring in Biology and Health Sciences. I've always been fascinated with the creation of God's World. God created everything extrinsically phenomenal. 
The universe is an absolute masterpiece that can leave the spectator...virtually speechless. 
The Bible begins with the creation of the universe: 
"In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth" 
(Genesis 1:1 NIV).

This single verse describes the actual transformation of invisible energy into all of the fundamental physical matter.
(As summed up in Albert Einstein's famous E=mc2 equation).

The universe was beautifully created from pure energy followed by orderly development of stars, galaxies and everything else. 

It satisfies both religion and science. Yin and Yang.
Together the picture is complete and harmonious.
Posted below are pictures to illustrate and scriptures to translate the story of "The Seven Days of Creation".

The First Day

The first recorded Words of God that we have are "Let there be light" (Genesis 1:3 NIV). The sun was already shining brightly, but God made the earth's thick new atmosphere allow diffuse light to penetrate to the surface. And so it was that the light was made separate from darkness. The first day of earth's creation was literally the first "day" as someone on earth's surface would experience it - a period of opaque light, and a period of darkness. 
(Genesis 1:3-5)

The Second Day

The separation of the waters. There was yet no liquid water, no oceans. All of the water was in the form of a vapor, a worldwide super-fog, extending a number of kilometers/miles up from the very hot (above the boiling temperature of water) bare-rock earth's surface (the earth's core remains molten right to the present day). God's "hovering over the waters" in verse 2 describes His being above that gaseous-water atmosphere, not a liquid ocean. God then caused most of the water to condense onto the cooling earth which simultaneously formed a whole-planet ocean and cleared the sky. 
(Genesis 1:6-8)

Earth The Third Day

The first appearance of dry ground. The further cooling of the surface set in motion a process of natural contraction, uplifting and motion of the crust (the process continues today, called "plate tectonics"). The earth changed from a smooth one-level molten "cue ball" to a planet with an irregular surface with ocean basins and continental landmasses. With dry ground available, the first plants were made to grow in great abundance. 
(Genesis 1:9-13)

The Fourth Day

With the sky now clear, the sun, moon and stars were dependably visible. They were to "serve as signs to mark seasons and days and years." The sun marked the day (sunset to sunset), the moon the month (new moon to new moon), and the stars the seasons (constellations are seen in particular seasons e.g. "Orion" is visible in winter in the northern hemisphere, which is summer in the southern hemisphere). 
(Genesis 1:14-19)
 

The Fifth Day

 

Great numbers of birds and sea creatures. God blessed them and said, "Be fruitful and increase in number and fill the water in the seas, and let the birds increase on the earth." 
(Genesis 1:20-23)


The Sixth Day

 

 

God made Man. From the man, Woman.
(Genesis 1:24-31)


The Seventh Day

 

The Sabbath Day. "By the seventh day God had finished the work He had been doing; so on the seventh day He rested from all His work. And God blessed the seventh day and made it holy, because on it He rested from all the work of creating that He had done." 
(Genesis 2:2-3)
