Re: on Genesis and Floods
Genesis 1 is specifically in chronological order.
jar if it is in chronological order why does Genesis 1:2 through Genesis 2:3 generations given in Genesis 5:1 not match Genesis 1:1?
The man in Genesis 1:27 was made in the image of God.
The book of generations of chapter 5 in verse 1 says this man was made in the image of God.
The Man that was made in Genesis 2:7 was formed from the dust of the earth and God breathed life into him.
The man in Genesis 2:7 was made in the day the Lord God made the earth and heavens.
The man made in Genesis 2:7 fits the generations of Genesis 1:1
Edited by ICANT, : cited wrong verse Genesis 2:4 changed to Genesis 2:3

Re: on Genesis and Floods
You are absolutely right. None of the chronologies match.
Thanks for agreeing with me.
But I was trying to point out that there is 2 completely different things talked about in these verses.
1. There was a creation in Genesis 1:1 and should be coupled with
Genesis 2:4 because all this was done in the same day.
2. At a much later date possibly millions, billions or trillions of years later we find earth in the condition it is in, in Genesis 1:2. Thus the 7 days of Moses in a re-creation. Beginning at Genesis 1:2 going through Genesis 2:3 then jumping to Genesis 5:1 and continuing.
The reason I say trillions is we don't know how old the universe is. We can only say what our present methods of scientific dating tell us. In the future we may have much better systems that tell us it is trillions of years old, or older.

I would interpret it differently. I would say that Gen 1 is the pre-planning of the universe and Genesis 2 is bilions of years later
I disagree.
If God is all knowing why would he have to plan anything?
I read the link and it is well put but I think wrong.
I posted my understanding of Genesis 1-5 in:

Please evaluate my analysis and tell me if I am incorrect.

Re: on Genesis and Floods
Seems totally pointless and just silly to me.
Thanks for your insight.
