Genesis 1:20 And God said, Let the waters bring forth abundantly the moving creature that hath life, and fowl that may fly above the earth in the open firmament of heaven.
Genesis 1:24 And God said, Let the earth bring forth the living creature after his kind, cattle, and creeping thing, and beast of the earth after his kind: and it was so…. This is where evolutionary science and creationism diverge, never to be reconciled. There is a song that goes like this: Nothing from nothing leaves nothing, you got to have something…. With evolution, you got to have something. God doesn’t always need or use “Something”, such as raw material in the work of creation.
Sometimes, at His discretion He does, but at other times He may not. When God created animal life and sea dwelling creatures, He used the newly minted raw materials. But when God created the earth, He did so without any preexisting raw material. He simply called it into existence from nothing. Here is where Darwin, and so many others have stumbled, for it boggles the mind how solid matter could be produced without preexisting raw material.
Psalms 33:6 By the word of the Lord were the heavens made; and all the host of them by the breath of his mouth. 8 Let all the earth fear the Lord: let all the inhabitants of the world stand in awe of him. 9 For he spoke, and it was done; he commanded, and it stood fast.
Hebrews11:3 Through faith we understand that the worlds were framed by the word of God, so that things which are seen were not made of things which do appear.
May The Lord add His blessing to the study of His word. God bless!
