subject: An Active Day Three... Creation's Science Continues [print this page] Entering day three of creation the flow continues. The day one lighting of the sun and the day two establishment of an atmosphere setting the table for further creation on Earth. Therefore, the next logical flow would entail the "Gathering together of the waters" allowing the "Dry land to appear".
Surely, those who have followed the writings to this point realize its concern is with the science of the explanation of creation found within the Bible. There is no thumping the book and spouting out declarations of fire and brimstone damnation, just common sense observations of the truth. So, what must happen for the land to appear?
The truth that must occur is volcanic activity in extreme amounts. Volcanoes are creating land on the Earth to this very day. They are still present throughout the Earth in large numbers. What happens when volcanoes erupt? Gasses spew forth; carbon dioxide is released in huge amounts. Imagine the entire Earth on fire as the formation of landmasses takes place. Would the air be hospitable to animal life? That is impossible; therefore, the question is what scavenges carbon dioxide? Plant life does of course.
God creates the vegetation on Earth to eliminate the harmful gasses and generate oxygen in the process. Before the evolution of earth can continue these things must take place, or nothing more can happen. This is just good common sense; common when allowing for the knowledge of biology that humanity possesses today. But, does the man who wrote the words of God in the time that it is wrote have the ability to understand the science that is taking place, even if we go forward to the time of the English translation? Does he know of photosynthesis? Can he understand that the plants create oxygen as they devour carbon dioxide? Think about it.
On day three, the creation of land for creatures to exist upon happens and the generation of oxygen to sustain that life is taking place. Can it happen all within the one day? It can start but can this process instantaneously support life? I think not. Time must pass to fill the entire atmosphere with oxygen. So, what will God do next as the most logical course of action? What happens in the fourth day? The next day is a day of balance
