I said: “Within the six “day” nothing is said of creating the Earth. It was already here, and evidently destroyed.”
You said: “Well it’s accounted for in Genesis 1:1, “the beginning” op. cit. , so I don’t get your game.”
I don’t get you mental density. According to Genesis 1:1, God created the Earth. Genesis opens with the Earth already present and created. In Genesis 1:1, the Earth is unorganized, empty, and dark —”tohu and bohu” -the Hebrew which is translated without form and void. It was not created that way originally — Isa. 45:18: “For thus saith the LORD that created the heavens; God himself that formed the earth and made it; he hath established it, he created it not in vain (tohu and bohu) he formed it to be inhabited...” Theologians say that the Earth was destroyed when Satan rebelled, who was in charge down here, in a pre-Adamic world. As I mentioned, that is where Johm Milton got his plot line for Paradise Lost. Milton studied the Bible.
At some point, God set about reclaiming it, and in Scripture the reclamation is organized under the setting of a six-day creation period. WITHIN the six-day heading, it spells out what God did. It never says “I will create land and separate it from the water I just created, etc.” The water and land are already here, God just works with it.
Well, I already quoted Genesis 1:1, and of course it states "In the beginning, God created the heaven and the earth." and goes on to say ( in 1:2 ), "And the earth was without form ..." etc. So, that's the way God created it. That's why I say it's naturalistic, in that it intimates that the initial creation must needs be in "rough form".
Forgive me if I see in this Laplace's nebular hypothesis.
