When God formed the earth. How many days was it?

Question

God spoke it into exist.

Answer 1

He made the earth in six days and when he was done, He rested on the seventh.

Answer 2

The first chapter of Genesis seems to indicate a period of six days, with God resting on the seventh. There are other scriptures that seem to show a break between the first and second verse of the chapter. They suggest that an earlier world existed that was inhabited by plants and animals that no longer exist today. And that it was destroyed by satan when he was cast out of heaven. The six days may be a correcting of the disaster back to an inhabitable world.

If one follows the ages of people back, it is possible to come up with a date of about 4000BC for this creation, but no actual date is given in the scriptures.

What is clear from the book of Genesis is that man was a unique creation, separate from any of the other animals. He alone had the very breath of God breathed into him at the moment of creation. That makes him the only being on earth who has a moral conscience, and is responsible for his moral actions and decisions.

This verse talks about the creation of the heavens

The Holy Quran : Chapter: 2 (Al-Baqarah), Verse:30
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[2:30] He it is Who created for you all that is in the earth; then He turned towards the heavens, and He perfected them as seven heavens; and He has perfect knowledge of all things.


The Holy Quran : Chapter: 41 (Ha Mim Al-Sajdah), Verse:13
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[41:13] So He completed them in the form of seven heavens in two days, and He revealed to each heaven its function. And We adorned the lowest heaven with lamps for light and provided it with the means of protection. That is the decree of the Mighty, the All-Knowing.

The Holy Quran : Chapter: 35 (Al-Fatir), Verse:12
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[35:12] And Allah created you from dust, then from a sperm drop, then He made you pairs. And no female conceives, nor does she bring forth a child save with His knowledge. And no one is granted long life who is granted long life, nor is anything diminished of his life, but it is all recorded in a Book. That surely is easy for Allah.

Here he tells us that it was six periods but rememer the days on earth are not the same as in heaven

The Holy Quran : Chapter: 32 (Al-Sajdah), Verse:5
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[32:5] Allah is He Who created the heavens and the earth, and that which is between them, in six periods, then He settled Himself on the Throne. You have no helper or intercessor beside Him. Will you not then reflect?


The Holy Quran : Chapter: 57 (Al-Hadid), Verse:5
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[57:5] He it is Who created the heavens and the earth in six periods, then He settled Himself on the Throne. He knows what enters the earth and what comes out of it, and what comes down from the heaven and what goes up into it. And He is with you wheresoever you may be. And Allah sees all that you do.

Answer 4

The concept, "Who is God" clears all ambiguities about God Almighty-


Who is God?

God Almighty... a cluster of pure energy is but the sum total of all souls (atmans) in the cosmos at a given point of time. The essence of every soul (atman) being the same as God Almighty... every soul is but a minuscule God in its entity.

The moment the big bang occurs... all souls (atmans) existing in the Cosmos spread all over the cosmos with unimaginable speeds. The magnitude and the scale of the big bang are beyond the comprehension of the human beings to visualize. Nothing that exists in the cosmos in energy form can be visualized by the help of the senses and the mind.

This explosion of the big bang results in creation of a new cosmos... a new beginning! After billions of years when some planets become suitable for giving birth to life... the souls start manifesting body after another. And a planet like Mother Earth is born.

Now... what is this big bang theory! The big bang occurs in what! As has been defined above... the definition of God is, "the sum total of all purified souls atmans in the cosmos at a given point of time is what we know as God Almighty".

This cluster of pure energy we know as God accumulates in its absolute pure state only when the dissolution of the Cosmos occurs in its entirety. It is as if a huge cauldron of fire... a massive black hole has reduced the whole of the Cosmos to the size of half a thumb. It is this stage when every single soul atman in the Cosmos in whatever stage of life it may be liberates after gaining enlightenment and salvation. There is just no escape for the collapse of the whole of Cosmos has occurred.

As has been expressed by Mahavira, the 24th Tirthankara of Jainism that souls atmans in whatever stage of life they may be... continue their journey into the next Cosmos exactly from the point where they stood in the earlier manifestation is totally wrong. This is where the teachings of Jainism are flawed.

Bhagavad Gita... the sacred doctrine of Lord Krishna distinctly clarifies this point. And it is logical that when the collapse of the entire cosmos occurs... the question of souls remaining in their position as such and transitioning into the next Cosmos after the big bang occurs is but a flawed parable that defies all reasoning and logic.

The point of difference where Mahavira went wrong in understanding the teachings of Bhagavad Gita! The reason why Jainism branched into a new thinking pattern as advocated and doctored by Bhagwan Mahavira (the 24th and last Tirthankara of Jainism) is evidenced here.


This cluster of pure energy... the sum total of all purified atmans in the Cosmos equals half the size of a thumb as has been clearly spelt out in the Bhagavad Gita... the most sacred doctrine put forward by Lord Krishna in the battlefield of Mahabharata.

Unable to contain itself for long... this enormous source of pure energy explodes with a big bang giving birth to a new cosmos... a new journey! God Almighty is the source and the cause of the big bang. This theory of creationism is unpalatable by Scientists all over the world. Why? Science demands proofs and in the kingdom of God... it is absolute faith (in the system of God) that rules.

To be able to visualize the system of God... the kingdom of God with the help of the senses and the mind is being hypothetical. It is just not possible! The prime reason why the kingdom of God and God Almighty himself is beyond the capture of all scientists of the world!

Albert Einstein was the only scientist in the world who tried studying Bhagavad Gita at the fag end of his life. He deeply regretted and resented not having ventured into the study of Bhagavad Gita in the earlier stages of his life. In a nutshell... the domain of God starts where science ends. This is in brief the definition of God Almighty!

If a grain of sand is an individual soul atman... the whole mound of sand is Parmatman (Almighty God). If a single block of the puzzle is an individual soul atman... the whole completed puzzle is God Almighty himself in its fully magnificence and cosmic glory.
