Um the actual command is 'Light be'. There was no qualifier to the command.

"Light be" would be Hayah 'Or. The verb "be" is in the imperfect form, yihi which can indicate a number of things--future tense, future subjunctive, past perfect, etc.--but which the translators have (rightly, to my mind) put forth as the future imperitive. Yes, it involves interpolating in a few words, but nearly all translation from the Hebrew does, due to the compactness of the language.

Since you wanted to talk about Hebrew grammar . . . ;)

For the rest of your post, I don't have a problem with your suppositions, though they are, of course, unprovable. However, I am curious about how you are defining the terms "deep," "earth," and "waters" in the first few days of Creation, and why.

The simplest answer is, perhaps these other beings lack something God has created in humans, namely the dimensional quality of spirit.

Possibly. My own take on the UFO phenomina is that it's a combination of our own cutting-edge tech (the Harrier jet used to get reported as a UFO all the time before they declassified it) and the visitations of spiritual entities in the physical realm. Those spiritual entities definitely lack something we have: They aren't native to the physical plane of existence, nor the masters of it; they don't have gender; and they can't reproduce. In fact, I would surmise that of all the beings that bear the image of God, humans are the only ones who can reproduce . . . which is why the spiritual entities are so fascinated by it.

Time to clock in for work, so until later, Shalom.

OK so the universe was contained in a grapefruit that was infitessimally small which would require infintessimally high gravity.
There is no consensus on how big the Big Bang mass was, assuming that the Big Bang is a correct theory.
It did not occupy space but space was in the grapefruit.
Also unknown. There's no consensus on that either. Don't have enough information.
