Part 1:
(1) "And God said, Let there be light" (Gen. 1:3) and "...And the evening and
the morning were the first day" (Gen. 1:5), versus "And God said, 'Let there
be light in the firmament of the heaven to divide the day from the night.... '
"And God made two lights; the greater light to rule the day, and the lesser
light to rule the night: he made the stars also.... And the evening and
morning were the fourth day" (Gen. 1:14-19).
(a) God created light on the first day; yet there were no moon, sun or stars
until the fourth day;
(b) how could it be known when the first three days ended if there was no
sun until the fourth day?; and
(c) How could morning be distinguished from evening, if the sun and the moon
were yet to be created?
(2) "And God said,'Let the earth bring forth grass, the herb yeilding seed,
and the fruit tree yielding fruit after his kind.... And the evening and the
morning were the third day" (Gen. 1:11-13), versus "And God made two great
lights; the greater light to rule the day and the lesser light to rule the
night; he made the stars also" (Gen. 1:16), and "the evening and the morning
were the fourth day" (Gen. 1:19). Vegetation was created on the third day; yet
there was no sun for the photosynthesis until the fourth day.
(3) " In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth" (Gen. 1:1),
and"... the evening and the morning were the first day" (Gen.1:5), versus "And
God made two great lights; and the greater light to rule the day, and the
lesser light to rule the night; he made the stars also" (Gen. 1:16) and the
evening and the morning were the fourth day" (Gen. 1:19).
(a) According to biblical "science", the earth was created 3 days before the
sun, the moon and the stars; •(b) Scientists say there are many stars whose
light takes millions of years to reach the earth. How, then, could they be
6,000 to 8,000 years old as many Christians allege?
(4) "And God said, 'Let the earth bring forth grass, the herb yielding seed,
and the fruit tree yielding fruit after his kind...' And the evening and the
morning were the third day" (Gen. 1:11-13), versus "And God said, 'Let the
waters bring forth abundantly the moving creature that hath life... And God
created great whales, and every living creature that moveth, which the waters
brought forth abundantly.... And the evening and the morning were the fifth
day" (Gen.1:20-23). Genesis says that life existed first on the land as plants
and later the seas teemed with living creatures. Geological science says that
the sea teemed with animals and vegetable life long before life appeared on
land.
(5) " So God created the great sea monsters and every living creature that
moves, with which the waters swarm, according to their kinds,and every winged
bird according to its kind.... And there was evening and there was morning, a
fifth day" (Gen. 1:21-23 RSV). Geological science says fishes appeared long
before the birds. They were not created during the same day or period.
(6) "And God created...every winged fowl after his kind...." (Gen. 1-21) and
"And the evening and the morning were the fifth day" (Gen. 1:23), versus "And
God made ther beast of the earth... and every thing that creepeth upon the
earth after his kind...." (Gen. 1-25), and "... the evening and the morning
were the sixth day" (Gen. 1:31). Science says creeping reptiles appeared on
the earth before the fowl, not afterwards.
(7) "And God said, Let the earth bring forth the living creature after his
kind, cattle, and creeping thing, the beast of the earth after his kind: and
it was so. And God made...every thing that creepth upon the earth after his
kind...." (Gen. 1:24-25). Science contends that reptiles were created long
before mammals, not simultaneously. While reptiles exi .. 6:1-5) Later, the Midianites invaded the Israelites.
33. Can we love AND fear God?
(Deuteronomy 6:5) We must love God
(Deuteronomy 6:13) We must fear God
(Matthew 22:37) We must love God
(I Peter 2:17) We must fear God
(I John 4:18) Perfect love cannot be mingled with fear.
34.Did Ai burn, or not?
(Joshua 8:28) Joshua burnt the city of Ai, making it an ash heap forever
(Nehemiah 7:32) Ai is counted among the existing cities of Jerusalem approx.
1000 years later.
