Genesis 1:3-10 And God said, Let there be light: and there was light. And God saw the light, that it was good: and God divided the light from the darkness. And God called the light Day, and the darkness he called Night. And the evening and the morning were the first day. And God said, Let there be a firmament in the midst of the waters, and let it divide the waters from the waters. 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. And God called the firmament Heaven. And the evening and the morning were the second day. 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. And God called the dry land Earth; and the gathering together of the waters called he Seas: and God saw that it was good.. . . Genesis 1:13 And the evening and the morning were the third day.

Why doesn't God say that that which was created on the second day was good?

Job_15:15, Behold, he putteth no trust in his saints; yea, the heavens are not clean in his sight.

This is one reason both the Roman catholics and NASA throw out the Bible.

Chette, verse 31 covers everything.

Interesting question. Good answer by Brother Tim.

No, Vs 31 one is a general statement that could be speaking of the completed 6 days as a whole. but specifically the creation spoken of each day is said to be good except the second day. again vs 31 it could be speaking of the whole of the six days of creation or it could be speaking about just the things created upon the earth inside the firmament. but the second day's placing of a firmament was not concidered good the day it was made.

Why is the placement firmament not good? By the way this firmament did not exist between the earth and the heaven in vs one.

We know God is everywhere. those in Revelation are said never to be in darkness for God is their light. if God's creation was true to his nature then all of the heaven should be filled with his light. why the need to call for light is God is light?

Where then did the darkness of verse 2 come from? this is the same darknes we see at night today.

And why does the waters below and above need to be separated? generally you want to separate your pure water from polluted water.

Which separated part is God calling the Heaven? that which is above? or that which is below?

Vs 1 God is said to have created the earth. this is not the dry land of vs 10. as the first reference is to a large stellar body the second is of land mas on a stellar body.

Paul tells us the there are three heavens with no apology. the first the atmosphere or sky where the birds fly vs 20, the second the area where the moon, stars and the greater light called the sun are hung Vs 17 (here take note God set them IN the firmament which puts God where?).

the third heaven is where? it will be full of light. if the third heaven is a spiritual place then there is no need for a division between it and the physical earth.

EasyE, good answer, you are on track. Take note on the verse in Job it speaks of heavens (plural) not heaven (singular) in this verse God declares there are heavens that are not clean in his sight. wonder where they are above the firmament or below the firmament?

just for clarification.

The light was not created or made in verse 3, this tells us this light God calls for existed before the darkness John 5:1a may give us a clue to this light that is called for and not created. that light is not the same as the lights later created in vs 16.

When God calls for light, the light is coming from one direction. one side of the earth is lit while the other is still in darkness. hence night and day. later he places two lights to continue the night and day process once his light is removed.

interesting as you pull all the pieces of the Bible together you can see the Godhead in creation.

Not only that but things that are not revealed as being created during this time we are told in the New Teastament, Colossians 1:16 For by him were all things created, that are in heaven, and that are in earth, visible and invisible, whether they be thrones, or dominions, or principalities, or powers: all things were created by him, and for him: (you will notice the singular heaven here)

from this we know, not everything that was created was recorded in Genesis chapter one. some things that were created were done some time before Genesis Vs 2
