A RELIGIOUS FAITH HISTORY OF A JEWISH GOD, A JEWISH PEOPLE AND THEIR ENEMIES, AN ATTEMPT TO DESTROY THE OTHER GODS AND THEIR BELIEVERS,  AN ATTEMPT AT TRYING TO DESTROY THE ETERNAL LIGHT OF THE WORLD (except for a few), etc.  (see link #1).

Notice the sequence in the story (Genesis):

1In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth. 2Now the earth was^a formless and empty, darkness was over the surface of the deep, and the

Spirit of God was hovering over the waters. (There is no time period mentioned here.  In our view of time it could have been for thousands to millions of yrs.  Also notice that all creation came out of the deep.)

3And God said, “Let there be light,” and there was light. 4God saw that the light was good, and he separated the light from the darkness. 5God called the light “day,” and the darkness he called “night.” And there was evening, and there was morning—the first day.

Do you see the big bang theory in the sequence?  The story tellers of that day had no concept of cells, atoms, the Spirit of Truth, the vastness of the Universe and the spiritual eternal world that exists forever.  They didn’t know how to write.  The story was handed down orally thousands of years before a writen language first appeared (link #2).

Even some today when they don’t understand an event call it, “AN ACT OF GOD”(link #3).

The word “day” has several meanings:

“For a thousand years in your sight are like a day that has just gone by, or like a watch in the night.” (Psalms 90:4)

1:31God saw all that he had made, and it was very good. And there was evening, and there was morning—the sixth day.

2By the seventh day God had finished the work he had been doing; so on the seventh day he rested^a from all his work. 3And God blessed the seventh day and made it holy, because on it he rested from all the work of creating that he had done.

Mt. 23:37 “O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, you who kill the prophets and stone those sent to you, how often I have longed to gather your children together, as a hen gathers her chicks under her wings, but you were not willing.”
