Christian:Was there life on earth between genesis verse 1 and 2?

Question

And the earth(became) was without form and void Genesis 1:2check the original version.thanks 4 answering.

Answer 1

Nope - there was no life on earth before God created it on the 4th-6th day. A day (the time that the earth rotates) is a day.

Answer 2

I don't really know what you're asking? Are you referring us to Genesis chapters 1&2 or Genesis chapter 1 verse 2?

In chapter 1 verse 2, it speaks of the earth as being formless; but that God's active force was moving to and fro over the surface of the waters.
In verse 11 of chapter 1, it speaks of the first living things that were created by God. The grass began to sprout forth from the earth and seed and fruit trees came to be, bearing seed according to it's kind.

Genesis chapter 2 talks about the 6th day and the completion of creation including Adam and Eve.

Is this what you were looking for?

Answer 3

…earth was without form… Take a look at the earth as it is today. Land masses stand out from the seas, various types of rock are layered within the crust… As your parents used to say about your room, “A place for everything and everything in its place.” Our world has form today, but it has not always been so. Here, in its primeval form, the earth was without any form. It could aptly be called a ginormous blob. All of its components were present, but they had yet to be arranged in any way.

The word “form” comes from the Hebrew toÌ‚huÌ‚, a rather colorful word which carries with it the idea of desolation or worthlessness.The world at this state was unfinished and in its present state, it was worthless. It would only become of worth as God continued and finished His creative work.

…and void… Not only was the earth formless, it was also void, empty of anything more than itself. There was no life on this earth. There were no remains of life. There were no structures, no plants. One could imagine a vast desert wasteland, but such an image would be inadequate, for even a desert has form, which this earth did not yet possess.

Earth at this point was raw materials, created in an instant solely to be formed into something more. I may be violating sola Scriptura a bit with this connection, but there is a remarkable parallel between Earth and man at this point. Mankind from birth is under the curse of sin, dead in it and devoid of God. The Lord created the earth, and it was “without form and void,” but He chose not to leave it that way.

Answer 4

Yes.

1. The earth was created.

2) The became tohu va bohu(laid waste and utterly destroyed). ie: comet hitting the planet and tilting it on its axis and instantly freezing portions of the planet.

we know from archaeology that many species survived that event and still exist today. most didn't. there was a new introduction of species in Genesis. just as God told the sixth day creation of men and women "be fruitful mulitply upon the face of the earth and REPLENISH the earth" replenish of course means something was there previously.

Answer 5

Life is where it has ALWAYS been....In Christ.
Joh 1:4 -In him was life, and that life was the light of men.
Joh 5:26 - For as the Father has life in himself, so he has granted the Son to have life in himself.
Joh 6:33 - For the bread of God is he who comes down from heaven and gives life to the world."
Joh 14:6 - Jesus answered, "I am the way and the truth and the life.
Seek Him while He may yet be found.

Answer 6

There has always been life on Earth.

Long before the book of Genesis.

It just that the life forms that inhabited this Earth, was a bit different.

Answer 7

None. there was no human being of any sort. But there were celestial beings in heaven before the physical time of the earth and the universe began

Answer 8

no life, The two hebrew words tohu and bohu in verse 2 would be rendered as "unformed" and "unfilled". Thus the first three days of creation speak of "forming". It lacked the order it would have when God's commands were complete.

God Bless You!

Answer 9

It was some liquidy puddin' thingy that needed firmamenting up in Gen 1:6.

Answer 10

I don't know for sure. I do believe there was a time when dinasuars roamed the earth and there could have been cavemen. I just don't know where they fit into the timeline.
