I had not put much thought towards considering what God said this too and what he did not say this to in an assesment of the 6 day creation until reading 'Starlight and Time' by Russel Humphreys...
He makes mention that day 2 is the only day in which God did not say that what he did on that day was good, but after looking over the creation events this is not the only day in which God makes something and does not give the good words...
on day one he does not imply that the heavens or the earth are good, which to me implies that they were not complete and/or that God was not satisfied with that current state of creation...
but on the first day he does say that the light is good...
but yet we see him making objects of light on day 4...
which is the reason that I believe that the light of day one is actually a process rather than the observable particles of light,
what could this good process be? Nuclear Fusion or gravity ? most likely
which just prior to his making this process all that was in existance was;
First off God himself,
contained within him was the earth, which is formless, void and is completly water,
and the heavens
The only thing of these which is good is the light (genesis 1:4) but not the heavens neither the earth at this time.. none the less the process of nuclear fusion has been started within this mass of water which is Gods Spirit is moving over... I can only imagine the nuclear reactions taking place at point zero of this watery mass... anyone able to do the physics?
On day two he makes the expanse to seperate the water from the water,
I assume that this means he seperated the mass of water into two sections, the small area in which the majority of nuclear fusion took place from the rest of the water.
This process is not called good at the end of this day
On day three the dry land appears ( which I assume is the complete cooling of the surface of earth) and the H2O that is still just that pools to make the seas,
which leads to the next creative act of God where he combines the appropriate molecular structures to seed the earth with vegetation.
He saw that all of day three events are good. Genesis 1:10 & 1:12
On day four God makes the lights in the expanse of the sky to seperate the day from the night and for signs and to mark seasons and days and years.... but the major part is to be lights in the expanse of the sky to shine light upon the earth.... which leads me back to my earlier reference that the light of day one than is not the light particles but rather the process in which light particles come from....
He saw that day four events were good. Genesis 1:18
Day five God creates the sea creature and every living and moving thing in the water, and every winged bird.. he blesses them to be fruitful and multiply and to fill the water and for the birds to increase on the earth.
He saw that day five events were good. Genesis 1:21
Day six God creates all the creatures that move along the ground, and sums up the creation with mankind, to be the ruler over all the other creatures.
He saw that day six events were good Genesis 1:25 and not only that but all of his creation he now sees as good Genesis 1:31.
In this final seeing that it was good I assume that the heavens are now complete and the earth also, and that the expansion of day two is finalised too.
anyone with constructive critiscism or willing to get into the physics of this?
