Creation Days?

Question

so i have to do a report on creation days and i know the basics that on the 1st day God created the heavens and such but i just wanted to know if there might be more information on creation in the bible somewhere else in another book or another chapter than 1,2 or in other books about it or maybe some websites and if you could share that info with me
Thanks in Advance ^^V

Answer 1

" Six days you shall labor and do all your work, 10 but the seventh day is the Sabbath of the LORD your God. In it you shall do no work: you, nor your son, nor your daughter, nor your male servant, nor your female servant, nor your cattle, nor your stranger who is within your gates. 11 For in six days the LORD made the heavens and the earth, the sea, and all that is in them, and rested the seventh day. Therefore the LORD blessed the Sabbath day and hallowed it. " (Exodus 20:9-11)

"And He answered and said to them, “Have you not read that He who made them at the beginning ‘made them male and female." (Matthew 19:4)

These are just the first two I thought of, but there are refrences throughout the Bible.

Some say the days of creation were not days, but long eons of time. This is an effort to try to alter the Bible to fit evolutionary timetables.

Genesis says a day was an evening and morning.

The Hebrew word translates as "day" always means a day when used in conjunction with a number in non-prophetic scripture, as in Genesis 1.

It is clear in Exodus 20 that God meant days when he said remember the Sabbath day that the world was created in 6 days and on the 7th He rested. They understood the sabbath came once every 7 days.

If this was millions of years, then consider this, God made the plants on day 3. He placed the sun and moon on day 4. How did these plants survive millions of years without the sun.

Also, some plants require insects or other animals to carry on reproduction. Insects and animals were not created until days 5 and 6. How did these plants survive millions of years without these animals?

Moses recorded in the 10 commandments that everything was made in 6 days. Was he mistaken also, or do people today know more than he did?

Also Genesis 1:14 talks about "days", "seasons", and "years". If a day was millions of years, then what was a season or a year? What was an "evening and morning"?

I believe God is strong enough to do it exactly the way (time period) His word says it happened.

Answer 2

There is the bible for creation stories. Fictional stories.

There are science books that will tell you the universe started with the big bang around 13.5 billion years ago, and the earth became a planet around 4.5 billion years ago.

Both books were written by men. Who would you rather believe, men who knew nothing about the universe or scientists who study the universe with all the tools that mankind can develop?

Here's a site that might be of interest to you. It examines 7 different ways to interpret the days of creation.

What does Genesis 1 really teach?

The debate between Christianity and science concerns not just the scientific facts, but how they fit in with the teaching of the Bible, particularly with Genesis 1. So let's explore that.

I am aware of seven different ways in which Genesis 1 is interpreted. They are not all mutually exclusive, though most are. There are variations on some of these interpretations which I won't go into. However, as this is so crucial to the debate I think it is important to mention them all. The first four of these interpretations all take the "day" of this chapter to refer to a day of 24 hours....

Answer 4

go to www.christiananswers.com (or it might be .org)
You can ask them anything there. Also, yes there are other places. If you have THE WORD from Online Bible, then you can look up any word. Or get a Strong's concordance and you can look up words such as creation, beginning, time, world, heavens, earth, and other words and all you have to do is look down the list to see if any apply to what you're doing.

Answer 5

John 17:24
"Father, I want those you have given me to be with me where I am, and to see my glory, the glory you have given me because you loved me before the creation of the world.

Colossians 1:15&16
15.) He is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn over all creation. 16.) For by Him all things were created: things in heaven and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or powers or rulers or authorities; all things were created by Him and for Him.

Answer 6

Lookup wikipedia
Or a good bible ( with notes giving you origin of texts )

You can look for the mesapotamian/babylonian/sumerian origin of the genesis texts,
and do a comparison with other religious creation texts, it is quite fascinating how early men imagines the universe to have started.

Good luck.

Answer 7

In what school do they assign a report like this? If you're taking the mythical creation story, all you've got is the bible. No chance of looking at some science books for this one, I guess?

Answer 8

Try be critical about it. Ask questions to the possebility of the creation. That way you make it interesting and give possebility for debate.
