Hi, my name is Dario! I am from Croatia and here I am writing about faith, Bible, Christianity and similar topics. I am not an expert and my words and my ideas are not authority. It is possible that accidentally without bad intentions I say something which is not true. Forgive me for my mistakes and errors if they do occur. However, I like to write about these topics and I hope that my blog posts will be of value to you. Nice to see you here!!!
1 In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth.
2 And the earth was waste and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep: and the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters.
3 And God said, Let there be light: and there was light.
4 And God saw the light, that it was good: and God divided the light from the darkness.
5 And God called the light Day, and the darkness he called Night. And there was evening and there was morning, one day.
6 And God said, Let there be a firmament in the midst of the waters, and let it divide the waters from the waters.
7 And God made the firmament, and divided the waters which were under the firmament from the waters which were above the firmament: and it was so.
8 And God called the firmament Heaven. And there was evening and there was morning, a second day.
9 And God said, Let the waters under the heavens be gathered together unto one place, and let the dry land appear: and it was so.
10 And God called the dry land Earth; and the gathering together of the waters called he Seas: and God saw that it was good.
11 And God said, Let the earth put forth grass, herbs yielding seed, and fruit-trees bearing fruit after their kind, wherein is the seed thereof, upon the earth: and it was so.
12 And the earth brought forth grass, herbs yielding seed after their kind, and trees bearing fruit, wherein is the seed thereof, after their kind: and God saw that it was good.
13 And there was evening and there was morning, a third day.
14 And God said, Let there be lights in the firmament of heaven to divide the day from the night; and let them be for signs, and for seasons, and for days and years:
15 and let them be for lights in the firmament of heaven to give light upon the earth: and it was so.
16 And God made the two great lights; the greater light to rule the day, and the lesser light to rule the night: he made the stars also.
17 And God set them in the firmament of heaven to give light upon the earth,
18 and to rule over the day and over the night, and to divide the light from the darkness: and God saw that it was good.
19 And there was evening and there was morning, a fourth day.
20 And God said, Let the waters swarm with swarms of living creatures, and let birds fly above the earth in the open firmament of heaven.
21 And God created the great sea-monsters, and every living creature that moveth, wherewith the waters swarmed, after their kind, and every winged bird after its kind: and God saw that it was good.
22 And God blessed them, saying, Be fruitful, and multiply, and fill the waters in the seas, and let birds multiply on the earth.
23 And there was evening and there was morning, a fifth day.
24 And God said, Let the earth bring forth living creatures after their kind, cattle, and creeping things, and beasts of the earth after their kind: and it was so.
25 And God made the beasts of the earth after their kind, and the cattle after their kind, and everything that creepeth upon the ground after its kind: and God saw that it was good.
26 And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the birds of the heavens, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth.
27 And God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them.
28 And God blessed them: and God said unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth, and subdue it; and have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the birds of the heavens, and over every living thing that moveth upon the earth.
29 And God said, Behold, I have given you every herb yielding seed, which is upon the face of all the earth, and every tree, in which is the fruit of a tree yielding seed; to you it shall be for food:
30 and to every beast of the earth, and to every bird of the heavens, and to everything that creepeth upon the earth, wherein there is life, I have given every green herb for food: and it was so.
31 And God saw everything that he had made, and, behold, it was very good. And there was evening and there was morning, the sixth day.
Here we are reading about how God created Earth, heavens, stars, plants, animals and in the end how He created humans in His own image. From reading this text we can see that Bible claims that whole Earth with all its wonders and creatures was created in 6 days. Many people find this hard to believe. For me personally, I don’t find it impossible. If God is almighty, He could have created all that just in a matter of one second. He doesn’t need 6 days. One second for Him is enough. But problem is something else. Science is disapproving the theory that whole Earth in its finished form was created in just six days. Science claims that since the formation of Earth, millions and millions of years have passed before first humans were created. There are some scientists and archeologists who are claiming that they have found proofs that Biblical creation of world is for real. I am not an expert on this topic and I would like to skip discussing this part. What is the truth, I don’t know. We need to listen to science and if we have proof for something, we need to accept it, regardless of how we feel about it. Only problem with science is the fact that we cannot believe it based on just one article that we have read or we heard somewhere. There are also some theories that are circling around Christian communities about some ‘time gap’ and… I mean, there are lots of theories. One day if I catch time for that, I will do my own research based on creation and evolution. Maybe then I will know more.
Some people don’t see Bible as an authority because how the creation of world is described here. I think that Bible is written by humans but it is inspired by God. This is written few thousands years ago. Of course people from that time were much more primitive than they are today. They were not intellectuals. People from that time were living based on intuition and their instincts. In order to survive, they had to kill, hunt and work hard manual labor. Of course that sometimes Bible sounds like a primitive book, because it is. People who were writing this texts, they didn’t go to schools and universities. Genesis is believed to be written by Moses. Moses was not an academic. He grow up in very tough conditions. This is primitive book written by primitive people. We need to accept that. This is why it is very important to try to look for a deeper meaning behind the things and stories that we will cover as we will go through Bible.
One thing that is for sure true from this text is the fact that God created everything. A lots of atheists are claiming that there in no Creator and that this whole life is just a cosmic accident. But what are odds for that? Lets be real. If you look at our universe and you look at our planet, things are just too perfect to be an accident. Stars, planets, nature… everything is in harmony. Each living organism is designed to be functional and each living organism has an intelligence and it has its own consciousness. It is impossible that just by accident all the atoms come…
