In the beginning

I think it had to do with something small or atomic, or perhaps his peanut inventions ...

I don't get it at all?????

Genesis 1-2:3 "This is the spiritual creation" as stated in 2:4-6, then Genesis 2:7-25 is the physical creation. The condition of the earth was a spiritual condition at which point it stats in chapter 2:7 that God caused it to rain and he formed man, then he formed everything else and so on. I suggest that from this point in history natural selection took over and certain species which could not exist died off and maybe some new species were formed during this time. We can call this microevolution. Some would suggest macroevolution which is a horizontal change, but I suggest microevolution which is a vertical change. take for example the fossil record, some say it supports bacterian to man theory, it shows appes and such, that would be called macroevolution. I dont agree with this theory. I agree a vertical change occured, which means after God had created everything, same animal groups which could mate together created new species. Natural selection removed the lesser species from the earth after that.Quiz[This message has been edited by Quiz, 11-19-2003]

Philip I was not aware you knew Einstein personally and could make such a rash appraisal.What a huge hypocrisy on your part that you would presume to know how God would judge Einstein.And then you make some vague reference to deadly inventions again refering to Einstein which I called you on to which I recieve this? Go out of character and be honest now. You really have no clue what you are talking about here do you? You lost not only a whole lot of respect through this blatant ad hominem attack on a great man but also a great deal of personal integrity.Get a grip on reality okay?------------------

BUMP!

In support of RebWil's comment on the 1st two verses of Gen being one long run-on sentence, namely: "In the beginning of God's creating the heavens and the earth, when the earth was (still) unformed and shapeless and darkness was upon the face of the deep, and the spirit of Gd hovered over the face of the waters, Gd said let there be light, and there was light," allow me to point out the following: the common translation of Gen 1:2 begins "(Now/And) the earth was unformed and void..." In Hebrew the words (Now/And) the earth was is rendered as "veHa'aretz Hayeta". This is a very unusual construction. Normally the wording would be "vaTehi Ha'Aretz" where the verb (was)would be prefaced by the tense-reversing letter VaV preceding the noun (earth). Our verse begins with the noun first, followed by the verb in pure past tense. This unusual construction supports the idea that verse 2 does not stand alone but is a run-on from verse 1.
