Genesis 1:14-19

"And God said, "Let there be lights in the expanse of the sky to separate the day from the night, and let them serve as signs to mark seasons and days and years, and let them be lights in the expanse of the sky to give light on the earth." And it was so. God made two great lights—the greater light to govern the day and the lesser light to govern the night. He also made the stars. God set them in the expanse of the sky to give light on the earth, to govern the day and the night, and to separate light from darkness. And God saw that it was good. And there was evening, and there was morning—the fourth day."

Wait a minute now, didn't God already create the light. Why would he create light twice? I think this time he created the Sun and the first time he just created light, but then that would mean that the sun wasn't the source of light but probably mainly a source of heat for earth. However, at night when the sun isn't here the light is gone. These are puzzling Questions.

How do you think the light and the Sun relate? are they separate? are they the same? If you think they are sepparate then why does the light go away when the sun does?

Genesis 1:11-13

"Then God said, "Let the land produce vegetation: seed-bearing plants and trees on the land that bear fruit with seed in it, according to their various kinds." And it was so. The land produced vegetation: plants bearing seed according to their kinds and trees bearing fruit with seed in it according to their kinds. And God saw that it was good. And there was evening, and there was morning—the third day."

Now, arn't we all glad for this day? Without plants we wouldn't have food, although I suppose that if god didn't make food that we would not of ended up needing it. We, However, wouldn't have the pleasure of enjoying the good taste of a piece of fruit or Vegitable though.

on a scale of 1 to 10, how important do you think this day was?

Genesis 1:9-10

"And God said, "Let the water under the sky be gathered to one place, and let dry ground appear." And it was so. God called the dry ground "land," and the gathered waters he called "seas." And God saw that it was good."

Now in this little part of passage, It says that He created dry land. So that means that the entire planet was just one big water puddle before He separated the water from the land, but today the dry land is WAY above the land that is under the sea. So I wonder if He actually raised the land to separate it instead of shifting the water to different places on the earth?

What do YOU think happened?

Genesis 1:6-8

"And God said, "Let there be an expanse between the waters to separate water from water." So God made the expanse and separated the water under the expanse from the water above it. And it was so. God called the expanse "sky." And there was evening, and there was morning—the second day."

So what I get out of this is that God seperated the sky from the water, but wait. How can the sky be mixed with the water? Maybe he means the clouds. Can you imagine the sky mixed with the water? I don't even know what that would look like.


What do you think it means? What do you think the sky would look like mixed?

Genesis 1:1-5

"In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth. Now the earth was formless and empty, darkness was over the surface of the deep, and the Spirit of God was hovering over the waters. And God said, "Let there be light," and there was light. God saw that the light was good, and He separated the light from the darkness. God called the light "day," and the darkness he called "night." And there was evening, and there was morning—the first day."

Now, Here is a thought, Why did he call the light "Day" and the darkness "Night"? Where did he come up with those names? Why is a 7 day period called a "Week"? Why is the day of rest called "Sunday"? Where did all those names come from? Also, why did he have to separate the light from the Darkness? I wonder what it looked like when it was mixed.


What do you think?
