The Difference Between Created and Formed
Observe Psalm 148 (KJV) ... a direct reference to Genesis 1 (and possibly Genesis 2) ... as if its ALL CREATED and PRAISING (vs. secondarily 'made', 'formed', 'evolved', 'emerged', etc.):
Psa 148:1 Praise ye the LORD. Praise ye the LORD from the heavens: praise him in the heights.
Psa 148:2 Praise ye him, all his angels: praise ye him, all his hosts.
Psa 148:3 Praise ye him, sun and moon: praise him, all ye stars of light.
Psa 148:4 Praise him, ye heavens of heavens, and ye waters that be above the heavens.
Psa 148:5 Let them praise the name of the LORD: for he commanded, and they were created.
Psa 148:6 He hath also stablished them for ever and ever: he hath made a decree which shall not pass.
Psa 148:7 Praise the LORD from the earth, ye dragons, and all deeps:
Psa 148:8 Fire, and hail; snow, and vapour; stormy wind fulfilling his word:
Psa 148:9 Mountains, and all hills; fruitful trees, and all cedars:
Psa 148:10 Beasts, and all cattle; creeping things, and flying fowl:
Psa 148:11 Kings of the earth, and all people; princes, and all judges of the earth:
Psa 148:12 Both young men, and maidens; old men, and children:
Psa 148:13 Let them praise the name of the LORD: for his name alone is excellent; his glory is above the earth and heaven.
Psa 148:14 He also exalteth the horn of his people, the praise of all his saints; even of the children of Israel, a people near unto him. Praise ye the LORD.
Again, vs. 5 states "they were created" (obviously, secondary causes are totally eschewed by the scriptural psalmist)
... You (all) might, likewise, be encouraged to view secondary causes like *dung in the wind*, thus.
... And the whole thing seems *present- and future-tense animated*, a penetrating cosmic praise by all *inanimate* creation(s), even.
(Now granted: the plentiful oxymorons of these scriptures vs. the oxymorons of 'secondary-cause' of *geological science* are another hot topic ... please don't take me there ... yet)
... In sum words like 'form', 'made', 'evolve', 'emerge', etc. seem insignificant compared to this 'all-penetrating' creation-praise phenomenon.
