Genesis 1:1 says, In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth.  We either accept this fact or not.  Some people attempt to totally deny or discredit creation based on science, or the knowledge of people.  Others attempt to explain creation with a combination of God creating, but doing so differently than the Biblical account.  I believe we either accept the Biblical account of creation, or we have to reject God altogether.  We cannot recreate God to suit our own beliefs.  Verse two states, 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.  The earth was yet to be formed into its current shape and was void until the spirit of God moved upon it.  The world was dark.  Verse three declares, And God said, Let there be light: and there was light.  God spoke light into existence on the earth.  God would later send a much greater Light, Jesus Christ, to redeem people of the world that had fallen into spiritual darkness.  Verse four adds, And God saw the light, that it was good: and God divided the light from the darkness.   God saw that the light was good, and separated the light from the darkness.  Throughout the creating process, we will see that God called it good, so we must simply accept or reject that fact.  Verse five states, And God called the light Day, and the darkness he called Night. And the evening and the morning were the first day.  God called the division of light and darkness day and night, and this was the first day of creation.  We can debate whether this was a twenty-four hour period or not, but the implication is that it was.  I know that time has no meaning to God, but we can only accept what His word tells us by faith.  Verse six says, And God said, Let there be a firmament in the midst of the waters, and let it divide the waters from the waters.  At this point, the earth was covered with water, then God separated the water.  Verse seven adds, 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.  God divided the water below the firmament, or the sky or Heaven, from the waters on the earth.   Verse eight adds, And God called the firmament Heaven. And the evening and the morning were the second day.  The firmament above God called Heaven.  This was the second day of creation.  Verse nine proclaims, 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.  Dry land appeared at God's direction.  Verse ten states, And God called the dry land Earth; and the gathering together of the waters called he Seas: and God saw that it was good.  The earth was separated into the land and the seas.  I believe that God will keep them separated as long as the world stands.  Once more we are told that God saw this part of creation as good.  Verse eleven declares, 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.  God created the plants of the world.  Verse twelve adds,  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.  This is just a statement that what God called for in the last verse happened, and that He declared it good.  Verse thirteen states, And the evening and the morning were the third day.  This was the third day, and God was halfway through His creative process.
