the word for void is actually better translated from the hebrew as "chaos." the planet was not created in a chaotic state (says this elsewhere in a
later book of the old testament). so what it is describing is 1) the original creation of the planet, 2) a major cataclysm that left the planet in
chaos, 3) the aftermath of a cataclysm, and the re-terraforming of the planet.
only nothing agrees with this no single piece of evidence
the fact the matter is here for the planet to form requires stars, through nuclear fission the force electrons and neutrons to bond creating
elements(see . the periodic table)
your usual typical big yellow stars can fuse electrons to hydrogen to form any element up to iron, nd they spiut them out throughout thier lifetime
and release it all at once when it goes nova and explodes
when a star becomes a red dwarf its fierce enough to fuse them from helium all the way through the rest of the table and probabily make a few we havnt
found yet as well
so these elements bump into each other in space and start to bond(a totally observable natural process) to form molecules which bond again so on and
so now we have large slabes of molecular chains(meteors asteroids comets floating around) they need somthing to help them get bigger, thier own
gravity will do this
but with the help of a star to draw them in to a more confined space they are able to really get huge and form planets
the gravity puling them together casues massive friction the rocks begin to melt together and the heavier elements(metals) are pulled towards the
center
so the further you go from the core the lighter the elements should self arrange
when we look at our planet we find exactly that the bulk of the heavier elements are found in the core and get lighter as you draw outwards
there is no first forming second forming just forming
and you need steps 4 and 6 to make step 1 and 2 work
so it is wrong
the dry land was there, it was just covered in water -- the waters receeded and the dry land appeared.
if it was covered by water it
wasnt dry land then was it .....
and the rocks were still forming when it was still to hot for water molecules to be liquid
so nope, and becasue water when it returns to a liquid state all gravitate towards the lowest points the earth was probvabily never entirely covered
in water there was always land
you could say the land was covered in steam but thats simply trying to make the texts fit the reality, and if an argument cant stand on its own merits
its a poor one
the text doesn't translate well into english
they fare even worse when translated into science
its a list of what people saw around them and they gave an order to thier creation and a story to explain it, nothing more
its a great story dont get me wrong but it is just a story
