Before I begin dissecting the scriptures it should be noted that what we know or understand about the beginning of creation came from the writings of prophets who are said to have quoted or written what was given to them by their god. Our biblical inspiration comes from  the writings of Moses who received his information from Jehovah, the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob not the Lord God responsible for the creation of man. Both entities were according to scripture flesh and blood mortal beings which simply means they were capable of death. To confirm this hypostasis I refer you to Rev. 1:18; I am he that liveth, and was dead and behold I am alive for evermore, Amen and have the keys of hell and of death not of life and paradise. These gods of man are not all-powerful immortal beings but merely another life form created during the fifth creation cycle ages before that life form came to this planet and created ma in their image and after their likeness.Regardless of the age and wisdom of that entity it was not alive at the beginning and could only relate to Moses what it believed to be that beginning. Therefore what was given to Moses and written scripture is hearsay evidence but when compared with the scientific and technical knowledge we have today that descriptive beginning has validity.

The church teaches and many denominations believe that creation began and was completed in six days. This is based on the idea that the Divine Creator worked, was tired and had to rest.  and it because the Creator is said to have rested on the seventh. (Gen.:2:1). They believed this out of a complete misunderstanding of the words day and night. If logic prevails and it does than when man was created it was the end of the sixth time period and the beginning of the seventh to what goal I have no idea. 

Before creation began we can only assume, because we do not know, that somewhere within the deep dark abyss of space a power and an intellect beyond our understanding existed for thousands of millennium. How many we do not know. But from what we can assume based upon scripture is that what is described as a day and a night was not a twenty four hour time span. That refers to a single rotation of the planet, basically twelve hours of darkness and twelve hour of light.

Creative time is different. According to science and technology the universe is estimated to be approximately 13 to 14 billion years old. The planet earth at 6. Since the earth is dry land and did not appeared during the third day and the sun and stars in the fourth there is a discrepancy in the belief of the church.

In the empty darkness of space only the power and spirit of God moved, nothing else existed. Gen. 1:2. The spirit and creation began with the creation of energy identified to Moses as light. .It is a misunderstood word. To most individuals it is the reflection of energy that allows them to see and identify what they can see.This is a misconception. Light is energy and cannot be seen. What we describe and understand as light is merely the reflection of the energy spectrum that is not absorbed by an object. The creation of energy was good because it is said to divide the light from the darkness. The light is call day and the darkness night. This was the first Day when the creative process of light was completed.

Then another period of darkness began when the energy of the electromagnetic spectrum became the basic building block used to create the firmament that began the separation of the cosmos. This was the creative time of atoms, molecules, elements, gases and  compounds that became the matter that made up the galaxies and gases of the nebular of the universe. This was the second day when the creator began to create and establish the laws and principles that control and govern the action, interaction and reaction of all that exists.

When matter became compounds, gathered together and became dry land organic life began, not on earth because earth did not exist at the time but throughout the universe. The completion of this process was the end of the third day and the beginning of the fourth period of evolution.Biblical darkness or Night refers to a time of creation. Biblical Day refer to the completion of any phase.

Note that in scripture Gen. 1:19 it refers to a time period first as the evening and then  as the morning of a new day, a time when what has been created was tested. What adjusted and survived continued to evolve. What did not was eliminated. 

It was not until the fourth time period when matter and energy combined did the stars and planets evolve. Now that there was a type of energy that could support organic life capable of movement and reproduction life began throughout the universe. This idea is supported by several passages of scripture. One is that at the beginning of the sixth time period a Living Creature evolved. It was that creature who eventually came to this planet and created a sub-species of itself, one capable of existing and surviving on this particular planet. The biblical leader of those creatures was the Lord God. Accompanying him were the so called angels and another and different life form the Cherubim and Seraphim.

At the end of the creative process of the sixth time period man  was created. Why and how will be discussed in next the next time period.
