The Creation Completed

Why did God take such care to emphasise the literalness of the evenings and mornings?

Sun, Moon, and Stars

1. Can the earth exist without a sun?
2. Was the solar system created to fit God's plans for this earth or did God plan according to what was available?

Creation of Air and Water Animals

1. Some see the second set of three days as days of filling--removing the "void" description of the earth as compared with the "forming" of the first three days.  Where would you place the sun moon and stars?  Forming days, or filling days?  Where would you put vegetation, forming days or filling days?
2. Are air and water creatures more primitive than land animals?

Creation of Land Animals

1. To what level of classification does "after its kind" refer, species, genus, family, order?
2. On which day were amphibians created?

The Creation Completed

1. When we say that the "heavens and the earth were completed and God ended His work of creation," do we mean that God completed his work of creation on this planet or that He has stopped creating anywhere in the universe?
2. Does each created world have their own Sabbaths or does the whole universe keep one day?

The Literal Day

1. How could there be evenings and morning before the fourth day?
2. How would "one day equal to one thousand years" destroy the creation story?
3. What do you think of the theory that the days of creation were literal but not consecutive, i.e., they were separated by long periods of time in between?
