The text is clearly steering the reader away from the 123/abc mechanical factory view - as with the sub analogy. I believe the text is both contextual and chronological. Day 1, day 2, day 3, shows chronology. The context of ch 1 is the creation as a whole, while the context of ch 2 is focused on man. The creation order is the order of completion. God says "it is good" showing that entity as being whole and complete, tested and put in action. Adam was not a complete vessel on day 3, untested, and therefore not mentioned in the finish order until day 6.

iamjoseph writes: vegetation comes before humans; but what constitutes humans came before vegetation. Thus static vegetation came before sunlight - this is 100% science here. There was light on day 1, which was partially blocked by the waters above the firmament. Enough light came through for the vegetation to grow on day 3, though no full sunlight until day 4. If there were static vegetation, yes it would be static until all the ingredients were there. The ingredients are sunlight (day 1) oxygen (day 2) earth (day 3) rain (day 3) and man (day 3). Man is to dress and keep the garden. One other thing man does is produce carbon dioxide which plants need for photosynthesis.
There's only two ways humans could have emerged. Via self-generating accumulated process (TOE), or wholely as a human, requiring only a 'click' to be switched on - as with a complete, new TV set one purchases (Creationism). The batteries were not included but made available. As with the TV set, there is only one way for humans to emerge, and that is to be assembled (formed) once you have all the parts (earth, water). The exact process of assembling life is unknown to science.
That is the meaning of the sunlight appearing in day 4: these are six cosmic days, not 24-hour days. It is 100% scientific - stars do not give out light (luminosity) till they reach a certain critical maturity. Agreed. It just apeared you were saying the days switched from cosmic to 24-hour after day 4? Yes, time could be measure in terms of 24 hours on day 4, but the creation days remain "cosmic". I am not sure really what a cosmic day is, but really its God's timing... can't nail it down.

I agree that the no mention of Adam on day 3 is the weakest part of my position, and therefore what you are going to go after. I do see my answer as sufficient and will continue to address it, however don't want to stagnate the discussion in this area. The title of this topic is "Adam was created on the 3rd day", but the whole post under it is relevant.

Well, the discussion has stagnated for quite a while, largely because (I think) you handwave away the objections to your position. IamJoseph "basically repeating what you have said before" doesn't move the discussion forward either. (I suspect that you won't want to hold hands with him for very long in any case.) To move the discussion forward, you need to address in a meaningful way the missing mention of Adam on Day Three. Help scientific research in your spare time. No cost. No obligation.

Third day is an improvision notion, resultant from disecting a complex and exacting mathematical text, dealing with the deepest issues, in a mode for all generation's contemplations.
Genesis also says, ALL was created at one instant, requiring no further input, and ALL appears in their due time, signified by the term RESTED (ceased all creation). The items listed in Genesis' days of creation refer to what appeared in its due time, else the verse 'I will give you your rains in its due time - the early rains and the later rains' - becomes superfluous. This is so even though the technical term of 'created' is used in these listings - namely, it is explained from a retrospective human view. Thus man and vegetation were both created in verse one, and in its due time, activated, statically (not yet alive and active, but fully constructed), and made dynamic (alive/active) when other created structures like the sun's luminosity, rains, etc were ignited. There is no alternative to this - it means Penecilin, discovered 200 years ago, already existed since Creation, as do the notes of a song, but can be evoked only in its due time - else these could not be possible to discover. The resting of creation with the Sabbath is not a chronological factor - the Sabbath is alligned with the first verse in Genesis, and Liberty and inalienable human rights, signifying that all of creation is by the Creator. Thus the first two words of The Ten Commandments were in ancient Egyptian (I am/Anno chi), directed at the Pharoah who called himself divine, while negating Liberty and one day of rest. 'THERE IS NOTHING NEW' - K. Solomon.

joseph, this was garbage when you first argued it, and it's still garbage. it requires tiwsting the text incredibly far away from its plain and simple meaning, discounting an entire chapter in favor of misreading a single verse.
please, take this claptrap to the appropriate thread.

quote: Explain the plain and simple meaning of the first verse in Genesis: how is the heavens and earth different then from now? Did oxygen, for example, exist in its propencity form, and could it come about if it was not?

graft2vine,
graf2vine writes: I agree, each account gives more details that the other does not. The focus of chapter one is the days, and in chapter two the focus is the creation of man. But the creation of man should not contradict the order of events in Genesis one. Namely the implication that man was created first, then the plants and the animals.
When reading the Bible it is not good to read it expecting a literal communication. The Bible has gone through a long development in order for us to be able to read it in english and in a book format. Please understand that scriptures contained in the Bible probably were not written in the format of chapter 1, 2, 3, etc originally. Also understand that some believe that the first account (G1) was a spiritual creation and the second account (G2) was the actual physical creation. I think a good idea for you is to perhaps research the spiritual creation/physical creation idea. Edited by trossthree, : error Thanks trossthree
