According to Merriam-Webster dictionary, a day is defined as a period of twenty four hours as a unit of time, reckoned from one midnight to the next, corresponding to a rotation of the earth on it’s axis. Where did this definition come from? Christians know that a day is defined this way based on the Bible. In Genesis, God explains that the universe was created in 6 days. Many people have searched deeper than the obvious and claim that these “six days” could have been millions of years. So what is true? What does a “day” mean in Genesis? The word “yom” is a Biblical Hebrew word meaning “day”. This word means a 24 hour period of time. As we look deeper in the Bible, the answer to this question can be either confusing or simplifying. It can …show more content…
The meaning of day in Genesis is related to Chemistry because it shows us how the world works. The conflict of ideas show how different people’s ideas can be. This is just like the world and it’s basic properties. There are many different combinations of atoms, protons, neutrons, and electrons that can be configured into anything that exists. The conflict of the meaning of the word “day” in Genesis shows that there are many different examples and evidence that the universe contains that can make people have differing views on the topic. The evidence of the Bible, proving the literal meaning of the word “day”, contains chemistry. Everything in this world contains atoms. This whole paper is related to chemistry also because in order to be a chemist, you need to be able to work hard, concentrate, experiment, research, and explain …show more content…
Even though some people get confused on this word in the Bible and several of its passages, the Bible clearly explains itself. There are many passages in the Bible that contain the word “day”, yet people only question the days of creation rather than questioning any other passage. Even though secularists can try to question the Bible, Christians know that the truth can simply be explained if you start with the foundations of the

In Genesis 2:3, there is a description of Sabbath day. ‘So, God blessed the seventh day and made it holy, because on it he rested from all the work of creating that he had done.’ Although this journal is not application journal, through this verse I could see some similarity between God’s creation for 7
In order to explain creation, the Hebrews follow what the bible says and turn to God. Within this culture it is said that God created the world in seven days. During these seven days, God created the light, sky, land, oceans, plants, sun, moon, stars, birds, fish, sea creatures, land animals, and people. On the seventh day God rested and looked down in amazement at all he had created. Today, people worship God and follow his ten commandments in their lives. Even though there are many new religions that have branched off
Neither here nor in verses 14-18 is an original creative act implied. A different word is used. The sense is, made to appear; made visible. The sun and moon were created "in the beginning." The "light" of course came from the sun, but the vapor diffused the light. Later the sun appeared in an unclouded sky. Genesis 1:5 - And God called the light Day, and the darkness he called Night. And the evening and the morning were the first day. The word "day" is used in Scripture in three ways:
The beginning of the Old Testament starts by explaining how God created everything within seven days. He creates night and day, the sky and the ocean, vegetation, the stars, sun and moon, sea creatures, land creatures, and for the seventh day he rests. The Garden of Eden was the paradise where man once lived until Adam and Eve ate the forbidden fruit thus creating the original sin. Eve listened to the serpent and gave into temptation leading to the fall of man.
Day 5: God created the birds and the fishes and gives them the command: Be fruitful, multiply and swarm the earth. Day 6: God created all the animals that inhabit the earth: “Cattle, reptiles, wild animals:, etc. Furthermore, God created man and woman in the image and likeness of God, so that “He may rule over the fish of the sea, the birds of the air, and the cattle and every animal that walks on the earth.” And multiply it: fill
How did the earth and everything on it come into existence? This is a question, that for the Christian worldview is answered by the Bible, in Chapters 1 and 2 of Genesis. The Bible makes clear to it’s readers that God existed before anything else. The creation account in Genesis 1 splits creation into 6 days and a 7th day of rest. The first day God created the earth and Heaven as well as day and night. The second day God separated the earth from heaven to create the sky. On the third day God separated the waters on earth so there would be dry land. He created plants and trees that could bear fruit and seeds. God made theses plants so that they would be able to keep growing from the seeds that fell from them. On the fourth day God created the
Why, because the Judaeo-Christian movement has put asunder and split into two what God Has joined together; that is, He created in six days and in conjunction, joined the first blessed seventh day to them. A result of evolutionist Christianity, God adulterates with Darwinism and makes a blessed myth out of scripture.
Art is the expression, thoughts and imagination that people express them by drawing, painting and assist people to creates more things by using their skills. Graphic design has became so successful from 1800s, by using the graphic design artists have created so many design and assist them to put their thoughts and ideas to create designs. "Experimental Jetset" is a graphic design company founded by Marieke Stolk, Danny van den Dungen and Erwin Brinkers. They also well have known for their use of Helvetica. "MMX" was a poster designed by graphic design firm "Experimental Jetset".
Throughout Genesis 1-11, one of the main subjects covered is the natural world. Genesis 1 in particular provides crucial information for understanding the origin of the natural world. In the first verse of the entire Bible (Genesis 1:1), the reader is immediately told that “God created the heavens and the earth.” Additionally, the reader is informed that “there was evening and there was morning, the sixth day” (Genesis 1:31), showing that God’s work of creation took six days. Because I believe that God created the world in six literal days, the foundation of my worldview is entirely different than the foundation of an atheist’s worldview. When I look at the world around me, I do not view everything around me as the product of random chance and evolution; instead, I see everything around me as the handiwork of God.
Properly dating the book of Genesis would allow us to build a timeline of creation which we can be used to trace back to day one of creation. However, this is extremely difficult to determine for two fundamental reasons: (1) the Bible provides no controllable statis- tical data that apply to the problem of absolute chronology; (2) most of the events took place in the preliterate period for which we have no extrabiblical written documents. (Ch. 1 Pg. 28)
In six days God created the universe, the earth, and every living thing on it. This includes human beings, who were made in Gods own image. God created Adam and Eve to have an unobstructed relationship with him, He placed them in a paradise called the Garden of Eden and gave them freedom to live in friendship and trust with him. God saw that everything he created was good and He rested on the seventh day (Genesis 2:2). God left Adam and Eve in the garden with specific instructions: they are NOT to eat from the tree of knowledge of good and evil.
This narrative, which describes how God created the universe in six days, can be found in the first few paragraphs of the Bible. It is said that on Day One, God created the heavens and the earth and allowed there to be light upon the earth. God then allowed a separation of waters above from the waters below on day Two; this separated the skies and the seas. On the third day, God formed dry land and allowed the earth to sprout vegetation. God then allowed the heavenly lights to appear on the earth on Day Four. On Day Five, God created animals to inhabit the earth. The sixth and final day of creation of the universe saw God creating other animals such as carnivores and humans to inhabit the earth as well (The literal interpretation of the Genesis One Creation account, 2007).
In the beginning, God recognized the seventh day as the day of rest in which He Himself rested. Nowhere in the
God’s revelation maybe revealed in science but as long as it lines up with His word. Therefore, I think it is plain and I have proven that the creation days were meant to be interested as literal 24 hour periods. This is not a popular view in today’s world and people will rebel and call you all sorts of names. Thus, we must remember that both sides hold to “religious” ideas, but only one side has the truth. Therefore, I will close with what the Bible says about the word and leave it at that. 1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. 2 He was with God in the beginning. 3 Through him all things were made; without him nothing was made that has been made. 4 In him was life, and that life was the light of all mankind. 5 The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome[a]
