[Compare Ps 148:4-6]:

B)
[Gen 2:4b-6]:

D)
THE UNIVERSE WAS CREATED 'FULLY GROWN', IT DID NOT EVOLVE

C)
"LIFE" = "NEPHESH" = 3 DEFINITIONS WHICH ARE USED IN
SCRIPTURE

LIFE PRINCIPLE WHICH ANIMATES THE BODIES OF ANIMALS AND MAN
2)
"LIFE" = "NEPHESH" = A FIGURE OF SPEECH FOR THE
WHOLE PERSON
3)
"LIFE" = 'NEPHESH" = THE UNIQUE PART OF MAN WHICH
TRANSCENDS THE LIFE PRINCIPLE, SEPARATES HIM FROM ANIMALS AND LIKENS HIM
TO GOD AND REMAINS CONSCIOUS AFTER DEATH
D)
BIBLICAL CREATIONISM PUTS LAND PLANTS FIRST THEN MARINE & BIRD LIFE
SIMULTANEOUSLY, CONTRADICTING THE IMAGINARY EVOLUTIONARY ORDER

[Gen
1:26-27 cont.]:
C)
EVERY INDIVIDUAL MAN CONSISTS OF BODY, SOUL & SPIRIT, PERSONALLY AND

1)
[Compare Gen 2:18-23]:
a)
IT IS NOT GOOD FOR THE MAN TO BE ALONE
1
cont.) [Gen 2:18-23 cont.]:
b)
GOD ARRANGED FOR ADAM TO BECOME FAMILIAR WITH MANY OF THE ANIMALS AND TO
NAME THEM
c)
OBJECTORS' CLAIM OF A CONTRADICTION IN SEQUENCE OF CREATION REFUTED:
ADAM WAS NAMING THE CREATURES THAT WERE ALREADY CREATED
i)
[Gen 1:20-31]:
d)
OBJECTORS CLAIM THAT ADAM COULD NOT HAVE NAMED EVERY LIVING CREATURE IS
ANSWERED: THE BIBLE INDICATES THAT ONLY CERTAIN ANIMALS WERE BROUGHT TO
ADAM, NOT EVERY CREATURE
e)
AS ADAM GAVE NAMES TO THE ANIMALS IT BECAME EVIDENT THAT THERE WAS NO
MATE FOR HIM
1
cont.) [Gen 2:18-23 cont.]:
f)
EVE'S FORMATION (CREATION) AFTER AND OUT OF ADAM'S RIB REFUTES THE
EVOLUTIONARY MODEL AND ESTABLISHES MARRIAGE, THE FIRST HUMAN
INSTITUTION, TO SERVE GOD
1
cont.) [Gen 2:18-23 cont.]:
i)
[Compare Gen 2:23]:
ii)
[Gen 5:2]:
[Gen
1:28-31]:
XXII)
MAN WAS COMMANDED TO BE FRUITFUL AND MULTIPLY AND FILL THE EARTH WITH
HIS KIND WITHIN THE FRAMEWORK OF MONOGAMOUS MARRIAGE
GOD
PROVIDED ALL VEGETARIAN FOOD FOR MAN AND ALL ANIMALS - NO CARNIVORES IN
ORIGINAL CREATION. THERE EVIDENTLY WAS A PROTECTIVE WATER CANOPY OVER
THE EARTH WHICH PROVIDED OPTIMUM CONDITIONS FOR THE GROWTH OF PLANTS,
ANIMALS AND HUMAN LIFE, WHEREIN LONGEVITY AND SIZE WAS UNSURPASSED
A)
[Compare Gen 6:4 KJV]:
B)
[Gen 1:14-19]:
C)
[Job 38:4-9]:
XXIII)
THE STAGES OF CREATION OF THE HEAVENS & THE EARTH WERE COMPLETED IN
SIX DAYS - THERE WAS NOTHING LEFT TO BE DONE, NO EVOLUTION REQUIRED -
AND IT ALL WAS VERY GOOD
[Gen
1:31-2:4]:
XXIV)
(Gen 2:1-3) GENESIS 2:1-3
(AS
WELL AS GEN 2:4a EXAMINED BELOW 
)
ACTUALLY
CONCLUDE CHAPTER ONE. VERSES ONE AND TWO STIPULATE THE COMPLETION OF
GOD'S CREATION WORK BY THE SEVENTH DAY. VERSE 3 BLESSES THAT SEVENTH DAY
AND SANCTIFIES IT TO COMMEMORATE THE CESSATION OF HIS CREATION WORK
XXV)
(Gen 2:4a) THE HEBREW WORD TRANSLITERATED "TOLEDOTHS,"
RENDERED "GENERATIONS" IN THE SENSE OF "ACCOUNTS OF"
IS THE PIVOTAL WORD IN GENESIS 2:4a WHICH - BY WAY OF A SUMMARY
STATEMENT - CONCLUDES THE CONTEXT OF THE SIX DAYS OF CHAPTER ONE - AFTER
WHICH CHAPTER TWO BEGINNING WITH GEN 2:4b TURNS TO DETAILS OF WHAT HAD
ALREADY OCCURRED IN CHAPTER ONE
XXVI)
ONCE COMPLETELY CREATED AND PERFECT IN GOD'S EYES BUT THEN CONTAMINATED
BY THE FALL, THE HEAVENS & THE EARTH ARE NOW DEVOLVING AND
DETERIORATING
A)
PRESENT PROCESSES ARE OF CONSERVATION & DISINTEGRATION NOT THE
CREATIVE PROCESSES OF INNOVATION AND INTEGRATION
B)
THE TWO UNIVERSAL LAWS OF THERMODYNAMICS REFLECT CREATION'S DEVOLUTION &
DETERIORATION
C)
SCIENTIFIC OBSERVATION OF TODAY'S PROCESSES, INCLUDING CONSERVATION AND
DISINTEGRATION INDICATES THAT SUCH PROCESSES COULD NEVER HAVE PRODUCED
LIFE, THE EARTH AND THE UNIVERSE
D)
SINCE WE CANNOT OBSERVE WHAT HAPPENED AT THE CREATION OF THE UNIVERSE WE
ARE LEFT WITH GOD'S REVELATION TO MANKIND IN THE BIBLE OF WHAT HAPPENED
[Gen
1:31-2:4 cont]:
XXVII)
THE GENESIS ACCOUNT OF CREATION REFERRING TO CHAPTERS ONE AND TWO IS NOT
MYTHOLOGICAL
A)
NEITHER POPULAR OPINION NOR PRIOR EXISTENCE OF SIMILAR ACCOUNTS
INVALIDATES THE GENESIS ACCOUNT OR ANY ACCOUNT
B)
PROPER APPROACH TO THE INTERPRETATION OF THE CONTENTS OF AN ANCIENT
MANUSCRIPT
1)
RULE #1: IN ANCIENT MANUSCRIPT INTERPRETATION:
LET
THE WORDS SAY WHAT THEY MEAN (WHICH MEANS PROPER TRANSLATION). THEN
CHECK OUT WHETHER OR NOT THE INTERPRETATION IS TRUTH ON THE BASIS OF
AVAILABLE EVIDENCE & TESTIMONY
2)
RULE #2: IF NO EVIDENCE OR TESTIMONY IS AVAILABLE TO FAIRLY PROVE OR
DISPROVE THE ACCOUNT THEN THE CONCLUSION IS INCONCLUSIVE!]
C)
CONCLUSION
XXVIII)
THE GENESIS CHAPTER 2 ACCOUNT DOES NOT CONTRADICT THE GENESIS CHAPTER 1
ACCOUNT, AS SOME CONTEND
A)
OBJECTORS ALLEGE THAT THERE IS NO INTENDED TRANSITION AND CONTINUATION
BETWEEN CHAPTERS ONE AND TWO - THAT IT IS THE IRRECONCIABLE WORK OF TWO
DIFFERENT AUTHORS. BUT THERE IS A CLEAR TRANSITION AND A CLEAR
CONTINUITY BETWEEN GENESIS CHAPTERS 1 AND 2 - THE CONSISTENT,
NON-CONTRADICTORY WORK OF ONE AUTHOR
1)
(Gen 2:1-3) GENESIS 2:1-3 (AS WELL AS GEN 2:4a EXAMINED BELOW
)
ACTUALLY
CONCLUDE CHAPTER 1. VERSES 1 AND 2 STIPULATE THE COMPLETION OF GOD'S
CREATION WORK BY THE 7TH DAY. VERSE 3 BLESSES THAT 7TH DAY AND
SANCTIFIES IT TO COMMEMORATE THE CESSATION OF HIS CREATION WORK
2)
(Gen 2:4a) THE HEBREW WORD TRANSLITERATED "TOLEDOTHS,"
RENDERED "GENERATIONS" IN THE SENSE OF "ACCOUNTS OF"
IS THE PIVOTAL WORD IN GENESIS 2:4a WHICH - BY WAY OF A SUMMARY
STATEMENT - CONCLUDES THE CONTEXT OF THE SIX DAYS OF CHAPTER ONE - AFTER
WHICH CHAPTER TWO BEGINNING WITH GEN 2:4b TURNS TO DETAILS OF WHAT HAD
ALREADY OCCURRED IN CHAPTER ONE
3)
(Gen 2:4b) THE SECOND PHRASE OF GENESIS 2:4, (GEN 2:4b), REFERS TO THE
DAY IN THE SENSE OF THE TIME OF THE SIX DAYS OF CREATION DELINEATED IN
GENESIS CHAPTER ONE. HENCE GEN 2:4b MUST BE READ AS THE ACTUAL BEGINNING
OF GENESIS CHAPTER TWO. THE VERSES PRECEDING GEN 2:4b ARE PART OF
GENESIS CHAPTER ONE
B)
(Gen 2:4b) THE NAMES FOR GOD DIFFERING BETWEEN CHAPTERS ONE AND TWO
BEGINNING AT GEN 2:4b INDICATE A CONTEXT CHANGE NOT A CONTRADICTION OR A
CHANGE IN AUTHORS, AS SOME CONTEND. THE NAME CHANGE SIGNIFIES AND
CORROBORATES THE BEGINNING OF CHAPTER TWO TO BE AT GEN 2:4b
C)
CHAPTERS ONE AND TWO OF THE BOOK OF GENESIS ARE ALLEGED BY MANY
COMMENTATORS TO BE TWO CONTRADICTORY ACCOUNTS OF CREATION. ACCORDING TO
THE FIRST ACCOUNT MAN AND WOMAN WERE CREATED TOGETHER AS THE CROWN AND
CLIMAX OF CREATION, AFTER THE BIRDS AND ANIMALS; WHEREAS THEY ALLEGE
THAT ACCORDING TO CHAPTER TWO THE CREATION OF MAN IS PRECEDED BY THE
CREATION OF ALL THE ANIMALS AND BIRDS WHILE THE CREATION OF WOMAN
FOLLOWED THEIR CREATION. BUT THERE IS NO CONTRADICTION IN THE ORDER OF
CREATION BETWEEN GENESIS CHAPTERS ONE AND TWO. CHAPTER TWO PROVIDES MORE
DETAIL, BUT IT DOES NOT CONTRADICT CHAPTER ONE
1)
(Gen 2:8-9) JEHOVAH GOD PLANTED A GARDEN IN EAST EDEN, SET ADAM IN IT,
CAUSED EVERY TREE THAT IS BEAUTIFUL OR GOOD FOR FOOD TO GROW THERE, AND
PLANTED IN THE MIDST OF THE GARDEN THE TREE OF LIFE AND THE TREE OF THE
KNOWLEDGE OF GOOD AND EVIL - THEREBY CREATING ADDITIONAL VEGETATION
AFTER ADAM WAS FORMED. BUT THERE IS NO IMPLICATION IN GENESIS THAT GOD
WOULD BE THROUGH CREATING VEGETATION BY THE END OF DAY THREE.
a)
[Compare Gen 1:11-13]:
b)
[Compare Gen 1:26-31]:
c)
[Compare Gen 2:7]:
d)
[Compare Gen 2:8-9 Hebrew interlinear]:
e)
[Compare Gen 3:22]:
2)
(Gen 2:18-25) JEHOVAH GOD DELARED, "IT IS NOT GOOD FOR MAN TO BE
ALONE, I DO MAKE TO HIM AN HELPER - AS HIS COUNTERPART." IN THE
PROCESS OF DOING THIS, GOD FORMS EVERY ANIMAL OF THE FIELD, AND EVERY
BIRD OF THE HEAVENS AND BRINGS THEM INTO THE MAN TO NAME. THEREBY
CREATING ADDITIONAL ANIMALS AND BIRDS AFTER ADAM WAS FORMED. BUT THERE
IS NO IMPLICATION IN GENESIS THAT GOD WOULD BE THROUGH CREATING ANIMALS
AND BIRDS UNTIL AFTER DAY SIX WAS OVER. AND IN THE PROCESS OF NAMING THE
ANIMALS, ADAM DID NOT FIND A HELPER - A COUNTERPART OF HIS OWN.
WHEREUPON GOD CAUSED A DEEP SLEEP TO FALL ON ADAM, TOOK ONE FROM HIS
RIBS, CLOSED UP THE FLESH; AND GOD BUILDS UP THE RIB INTO A WOMAN,
BRINGS HER INTO THE MAN. ADAM SAID, "THIS ONE IS BONE OF MY BONE
AND FLESH OF MY FLESH; THIS ONE WILL BE CALLED WOMAN, FOR SHE WAS TAKEN
FROM MAN." WHEREUPON CAME THE END OF GOD'S CREATION WORK, JUST AS
ACCOUNTED FOR IN GENESIS CHAPTER ONE
a)
[Gen 1:20-31]:
D)
DIFFERENCES IN STYLE BETWEEN GENESIS CHAPTERS ONE AND TWO DEMAND NEITHER
DIFFERENT AUTHORS, NOR CONFLICTING ACCOUNTS, NOR THE CONCLUSION THAT THE
BIBLE IS NOT RELIABLE
GENESIS
CHAPTER 2
