What came first wind or water?

Question

ha ha, got some interesting answers here (-:

JasonLee, as silly as your answer looks, i think it may be quite profound, perhaps this is a simple reflection of the order of creation.

Hey "tannerpreaching" your response was very good, im not sure on the credibility of where you mention light "gradually" coming into existence as this is not in all the translations i have seen. But thank you for your help. it was good.

Answer 1

Genesis 1:2, KJV, And the earth was without form and void, and darkness was upon the face of the DEEP. And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the WATERS. I will have to say water came first. I believe the earth was covered in water from the time God created it. Just my theory though. Outstanding question, definitely made me think and get my Bible out.

Answer 2

i would have to say water because It seems that the earth had been established in orbit around the sun and was a globe covered with water before the six “days,” or periods, of special creative works began. “There was darkness upon the surface of the watery deep.” (Genesis 1:2) At that early point, something—perhaps a mixture of water vapor, other gases, and volcanic dust—must have prevented sunlight from reaching the surface of the earth. The Bible describes the first creative period this way: “God proceeded to say, ‘Let there be light’; and gradually light came into existence,” or reached the surface of the earth.—Genesis 1:3, translation by J. W. Watts.

The expression “gradually . . . came” accurately reflects a form of the Hebrew verb involved, denoting a progressive action that takes time to complete. Anyone who reads the Hebrew language can find this form some 40 times in Genesis chapter 1, and it is a key to understanding the chapter. What God began in the figurative evening of a creative period, or age, became progressively clear, or apparent, after the morning of that “day.” Also, what was started in one period did not have to be fully completed when the next period began. To illustrate, light gradually began to appear on the first “day,” yet it was not until the fourth creative period that the sun, moon, and stars could have been discerned.—Genesis 1:14-19.then wind
