Genesis 1 :9-13

Link to biblical passage

So here we are in day 3. This is where the Earth as we know it (we think) starts to be formed. There will be quite a bit in this lesson, I will try to keep it very simple and shorter then the last one. Stick with me though, you will most surly be blessed as you learn more about our Creator.

And God said, Let the waters under the heaven be gathered together unto one place, and let the dry land appear: and it was so. This here is pretty self explanatory except for the one issue, was there always multiple continents, or at one point was there one giant land mass. Logical thinking would suggest for this as we can see how the continents seem to fit together link a perfect puzzle. I would suggest that it was one big land mass at that point and it became shaken a bit later on, for multiple reasons we will talk about later, probably in the book of Joshua. Noah probably didn't cause the massive shift, though we will see it does account for almost all evidence that modern science used to promote an old Earth. We will get into that more when we get to the flood cause we are getting off track.

And God called the dry land Earth; and the gathering together of the waters called he Seas: and God saw that it was good. This verse is also pretty self explanatory, but I want you to notice that God already put his blessing on this day. He will put another one later in this day as well. For that fact this day is called the day of double blessings. This is the day that most traditional Jewish weddings occur on, especially in Biblical times. And if you have been keeping track, this would be a Tuesday. Also a VERY interesting fact to mention that Tuesday is named after the planet Mars, who is referred to by mythology as the God of War. Again, this is just a sneak peak of something coming later in Joshua, so just keep that in mind. I'll also explain how it is named after Mars when we get there cause I digress.

And God said, Let the earth bring forth grass, the herb yielding seed, and the fruit tree yielding fruit after his kind, whose seed is in itself, upon the earth: and it was so. Here is the beginning of physical life. This is just utterly amazing when you think about what is being said here. The skillful design that is being put into place. This is how you can prove evolution wrong. God created everything after its own kind. He is showing that the plants are self preserving beings with their seeds inside that will only produce that particular plant. Incredible. You couldn't have this due to random chance because if it were to happen, then you would have all plants cross breading with other plants. We know enough about the building blocks that God uses to cross bread plants now, but it isn't natural. The amazing thing here is that the plants came before animals because animals require the oxygen and sugar that the plants produce. Also for a short amount of time the plants can survive without the CO2 released from animals because carbon is an abundant chemical, but there is not enough to sustain them over a period of time, they require the release from the exhaling of the animals. So during this time they are beginning to produce the oxygen needed to provide the o-zone layer and for the animal consumption. It's also giving them time to produce the sugars that animal life will need immediately to survive. It's also important to note that Sun and Stars aren't made yet. That won't happen until tomorrow. That's because without an o-zone layer the Earth would uninhabitable because of the the solar rays from the Sun. So where is the light that the plants are using to produce the oxygen and sugar? That's right, its coming directly from God. It is incredible how God has pieced the creation together perfectly because if it happened any other way life would be impossible. Just amazing.

And the earth brought forth grass, and herb yielding seed after his kind, and the tree yielding fruit, whose seed was in itself, after his kind: and God saw that it was good. As we see here, God gave the second blessing we spoke about earlier. God does and has EVERYTHING in mind and done for a purpose.

And the evening and the morning (Chaos to Order) were the third day. So that brings to a close the 3rd day, and what a day it is. God is so perfect in his methods that He shows us all the principles of life, science, and physics LONG before it was even possible for man to understand these things. So when people say the bible is just a bunch of stories written by people to show men morality and that it really isn't inspired; you can tell them to then explain how the order of creation is in perfect harmony with all we know about our physical reality. They really won't have an answer for that. The smarter you become about the Bible, the easier it becomes to disprove any man made theory or religion. So until next time, God Bless.
