1 In the beginning God created the heaven (lofty) and the earth.

The earth was useless since it had no living creatures and the Spirit of God is going to prepare the surface of the earth and install the biosphere of living plants, animals, and man. Verses 3 and 4 tell us about light. Since light is energy, and energy is governed by the laws of physics, these laws must also have been established on the first day. However, at first light could not penetrate the solar dust and possibly an excessively dense primordial atmosphere to reach the surface of the earth, so He made it possible for light to be on the surface of the earth. This is the first phase of the creation and the preparing of the surface of the earth with more phases to follow. |
