Creation Vs Evolution Rev 9-Jul-09

The Bibles “Big Bang” rendition of Creation.

In the early part of 2004, we heard that the scientist were discussing the results of
the Mars landing, and that it appears that there was water on that planet at one
time.

Here is a cut and paste of one of the remarks made representing the scientific
community: “Stephen Squyres, principal scientist for the MER mission, said NASA
researchers do believe Meridiani Planum, the broader area where Opportunity landed,
had a habitable climate for some period of time, “,It doesn't mean life was there," Squyres
said. "But this was a habitable place."

added emphasis. Numbers preceded by "H" of "G" represent the Strong's
Exhaustive Concordance Hebrew or Greek reference number.

Almost everyone who has read the very first few chapters of Genesis has
undoubtedly been affronted with some questions as to the validity of this work that
God had performed. The reason is simply because of apathetic man and his limited
concern and limited imagination when trying to conceive these things in their mind.
Of course the interpreters of this story have added their personal touches and ended
up injecting confusion along the way. With the teaching of the NT, we are
encouraged to accept what is written in the OT by faith, and this is excellent advice
to use for creating a foundation for one’s faith. However, for the doubtful or
skeptical, who find difficulty in accepting these writings, I would like to offer my
interpretation of the matter. At this point, it must be understood that all bibles are
not the same and the printed word for most is the result of a translator and is
sometimes a reflection of their personal spirit in those cases when translating
becomes complicated for them. This happens quite often simply due to the fact that
many Hebrew words do not have a direct equivalent in the target language.
Therefore, IMHO [In my humble opinion]:

The first obstacle to be overcome is that of the time frame of the seeming six days
for his creation. Modern man defines a day as roughly 24 hours on the clock or one
revolution of the earth using the sun as his reference. Taking into account that the
sun was not made until the fourth day of God’s building project, how long then was
"a day" before the sun was made? It could have been millions of years, or a
thousand. It all depends on the point of reference. So in this case, God has his
reference and you can be sure that it is not our sun. Peter says:
 2 Pet 3:8 "But, beloved, be not ignorant of this one thing, that one day is
with the Lord as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day".

This works out to be a ratio of roughly 365000 to 1 if you like, but this is far from
the point of interest and should not be considered in this particular interpretation.
The major concern to consider is that when God intervenes, the laws governing time
and events like the laws of nature are seemingly bypassed in a sense, somewhat like
when Jesus multiplies the bread and the fishes, or other seeming miracles
demonstrated by other prophets as well.

The second obstacle is; "What is meant by "the beginning"? For most of us, this
period of time would be relative to the subject matter, therefore in this case could be
the created universe up until the time when God finished his work and rested on his
seventh day. However, this must include that time period that pre-existed our
Physical/material creation, before God said or did anything related to this Earth.
This pre-creation period would be that time when God was contemplating his
personal being. God's Kingdom could have included angels along with other
spiritual beings. The "Christ" for example, according to scripture, existed, even if
only as an idea/spirit in God's mind, however not in a human bodily form at that
time. In my way of interpreting the bible, the context for scripture, from the
beginning through the end of the Bible, is demonstrating to this world the kingdom
that the Heavenly Father was preparing for his first born son. This takes us from
the pure spiritual existence, through the material and finally a return to the pure
spiritual world when all things will be made new. Therefore, according to my way
of thinking, all life forms could have been in existence before the Earth or any other
celestial body was made. To me, it is a certainty that all basic life forms existed in
those “Waters”(Gen1:2) that existed before God’s construction phase began. IOW’s
all basic building blocks for all of God’s Universe were already generated and made
ready to be transported throughout the Universe. However, when God created the
Heavens and the Earth, before he said “let there be light”, this does not mean that
He stopped creating before then, for in Gen 1:21, after the Creator made the sun
and moon for examples. God “creates” the whales etc. Therefore he also creates as
he goes, so to speak.

The third obstacle is; "How can this (Genesis ch1) be"? It is only natural that a
person might ask himself when nothing of what he is reading seems to fit or make
good sense. The problem is resolved by paying close attention while you read these
words and then choosing to believe what is written while exercising a little patience.
The expression "reading it forwards and backwards" would be helpful. Of course,
meditating on what one hears or reads about God's words, is necessary for true
understanding.

Before we start analyzing the Creation account, try to keep in mind some of the
information the Bible has to offer, regarding God’s aspects. First off, God is not a
man, Ref: Num 23:19 (KJV) “God is not a man, that he should lie; neither
the son of man, that he should repent: hath he said, and shall he not
do it? or hath he spoken, and shall he not make it good?” Second, he is
invisible: 1 Tim 1:17 (KJV) “Now unto the King eternal, immortal, invisible,
the only wise God, be honour and glory for ever and ever. Amen.”
[This invisible aspect is testified by His existence even before
there was light.] And third, Paul has this to say: Acts 17:28 (KJV) “For in
him we live, and move, and have our being; as certain also of your own
poets have said, For we are also his offspring.”

Consequently, in my humble opinion, when we read that:

Gen 1:1 In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth. [This
could represent the title of God's work; Or, this could be a statement
of conclusion, meaning that everything was contemplated, conceived,
caused to exist; brought into being and created spiritually in the mind
of Yahuah/Yahweh before actual material existence, but not yet made
visible or completed physically at that point in time. This is an
interesting point to meditate on, for God surely spent eons of time
thinking about things before deciding to actually do anything. On a
closer examination, and the help of a Hebrew
dictionary/lexicon/concordance, we understand that there is a big
difference in the words “made/H6213/asah” & “Create/H1254/bara”:
to create means to come up with something new and then
doing/building/making it. Therefore, it has become evident to me that
the creation event was accomplished in two distinct phases. The first
phase was when God created everything up to the point when our
planet was more or less stabilized after the sun and the moon were in
place. The second phase is when God again intervenes and creates the
animal life forms.

If this were true, then everything from this verse onwards in the bible,
is God’s manner of filling the gap between the beginning and the end
of this Earth’s material, physical nature designed for His chosen
offspring. Therefore, this present time period we are in can be seen as
a type stress testing, or debugging time needed for the purification
process necessary, but not only for this Earth but for all future
inhabitable planets throughout all of creation/The Universe.

Romans 8:22 - 23 (KJV) For we know that the whole creation

groaneth and travaileth in pain together until now. And not
only they, but ourselves also, which have the firstfruits of the
Spirit, even we ourselves groan within ourselves, waiting for the
adoption, to wit, the redemption of our body. [Just a small note
here; It is the soul that will be redeemed, and then be given a
new body. The OT has references to this idea. (Ps 49:8;
2Sam4:9; 1Ki 1:29; Ps 34:22; Ps 49:15; Ps 69:18; Ps 71:23; Ps
 72:14). Only in this verse is the body saved. IMHO it seems to
be in error.]

The final stage for this Earth, when the material nature is removed, is
already seen just as we can already see Jesus, “one like unto the Son of
man” (Rev 1:13) and seated on his throne in the New Jerusalem as
the eternal King and High Priest in his own kingdom, that His Father
had planned, in the beginning, from the following moments after
contemplated reproducing offspring in His own image. Then, when all
things are made new, we can also see those souls throughout the
Universe, that will be cleansed through belief in God’s words; thus
completing the life cycle of all things from spiritual conception,
through the material state and then returning to the pure spiritual
state again, after purification. (see the reflections of this in Luke
15:11-32, The parable of the prodigal Son).]

Gen 1:2 And the earth was without form, and void; and darkness was upon
the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the
waters. [In the first sentence, in this verse, if one were to take these
words literally, and following the concept I just presented in the first
verse, the Earth, along with everything else planned in God’s total
universe, already existed, if however, only in the divine mind, in a non
physical state; it's material state being manifested during the weekly
Construction period. The Earth was however empty and without any
material substance/void; much like an inventor who thinks through
his plan before wasting efforts on something that might not be
feasible, functional or useful; In other words, on the drawing board.
At this point, nothing in the universe existed materially except for the
“waters” (second sentence), which contained all of the building blocks
required for the entire completed project plus the material necessary
for creating all basic life forms, made ready for transporting
throughout the cosmos. These building blocks would eventually
become the material that fills the void and gives form and substance
to the physical objects that now fill the Heavens. However, at this
point in time, nothing yet made. The big question at this point in the
story is: “where did these “waters” come from”? These waters were
generated, during God’s thinking/preparation stage. If one were to
try to imagine a concentrated sphere of gases/waters at the very center
of the cosmos, it might be helpful as a starting point for
understanding/seeing the invisible God. These “waters” could have
served in His beginning, as a sort of abode for himself. In that God is
an invisible/spiritual light that shines in the dark, this light was not
the same light to be released from those waters, therefore no
manifestation of visible light, nonetheless, He was the all and in all
from the very beginning. These waters/gases were most likely
beginning to be in a semi-compacted state, being made ready for
God’s “Big Bang”, however, God's spirit surrounded the surface of
these gases/waters as if to contain or maintain control, until the timing
was right for their release. It might be helpful to consider that these
“waters” were necessary for the next phase; that of manifesting light.
Without matter, no light could be produced for it takes some type of
energy to produce or emit light.]

Gen 1:3 And God said, Let there be light: and there was light. [At the
command of God, those words excited this gaseous matter, maybe
resembling somewhat like a heartbeat, resulting with some of these
molecules beginning to respond as the energy that was in God’s words
impregnated their existence and they began to react, move , collide
and then radiate with God's glory. This further causing the possible
exchange of protons, and the splendor of God's waters began to reflect
areas of physical/visible light. At this point you must understand that
God speaks in the language understood by the objects to which He is
addressing. It was probably not Hebrew.  Another way to state this
idea for our modern times could be: God "communicated" rather
than God "said". So when God spoke his first words of the building
project, the spiritual force of his command placed these gaseous
materials in motion, and there was physical light. The argument that
this light was "enlightenment" looses its strength due to the fact that
God had to have been enlightened long before this construction phase
was decided on. Obviously, YHWH is not careless and he does not
speak prematurely. In my way of thinking, I see this step as God
compressing, with his spirits, these gases/waters to a point when they
begin to give off light, indicating to God that they were now ready for
being released out into space.]

Gen 1:4-5 And God saw the light, that it was good: and God divided the
light from the darkness. And God called the light Day, and the darkness he
called Night. And the evening and the morning were the first day. [At this
point, the movement of these gases, God's visible light began to
overtake the darkness of the night, manifesting itself into physical
light and then ebbs to night again. This could be seen somewhat
resembling a heart beat in the waters. Note that the darkness
preceded the light, thus the evening preceded the day from the OT
biblical standpoint.]

Gen 1:6 And God said, Let there be a firmament in the midst of the waters,
and let it divide the waters from the waters. [Again God spoke and this
time his spirit impregnated waters/gases responded in an explosion of
sorts, (God’s Big Bang) as the gases/matter now begin to move out in
all directions away from their initial centralized position. As this
matter now starts to vacate it's initial location, Heaven (space/the
firmament) is established, separating the waters. This movement
could also be seen as if God himself is being liberated from his then
present material abode while, at the same time, giving birth to the
entire material universe itself. (It does say that He is the “All in all”)
This would be somewhat equivalent to the "Big Bang" theory in
expression, at this particular point in time. Be reminded that this
recounting of the Creation event was put in writing well over three
thousand years ago. This should, by itself, testify to being inspired
of/by The Holy Spirit.]

Gen 1:7 And God made the firmament, and divided the waters which were
under the firmament from the waters which were above the firmament:
and it was so. [At this point, you now have these watery/gaseous matter
moving out into emptiness and then beginning to re-accumulate into
clumps or clustering masses of watery matter. These will eventually be
grouped into the galaxies and then solar systems as we understand
them today. However, at this point, the narrative concentrates on
what was to eventually evolve into our Earth which had already been
decided when our Heavens/skies were being made. At the same time,
this same process was continuing throughout the Universe as these
divided waters were being transported towards their designed
destination and ready for all the other planets and suns that were
projected and now being built.]

Gen 1:8 And God called the firmament Heaven. And the evening and the
morning were the second day. [Heaven first, as the watery, gaseous
particles are being divided by the space (firmament) and next the
planets/worlds. Obviously, our heavens/skies were already starting to
be made as the "waters" were being divided, controlled by he laws of
physics and working together, separating the waters, so to speak.]

Gen 1:9 And God said, Let the waters under the heaven be gathered
together unto one place, and let the dry land appear: and it was so. [Try to
imagine, if you will, a universe being dotted with “watery” clouds as
the magnetic forces of the molecules began to accumulate into masses,
as this gaseous watery matter travel out into space. As time continues,
these clouds begin to be concentrated towards their cores creating a
mass at the center and then eventually causing gravity by this same
process. This process, could be not much different than how water
droplets form around a particle of dust, that eventually fall from the
sky as raindrops. Therefore, the birth of each celestial body could be
the same, the only difference being the size of each body. As this
condensation type process continued, a cooling effect of these elements
results, causing a condensation effect of these gases into liquid
condensates which would evolve eventually into planets or sums,
depending on the size of each celestial cloud. As these condensing
gaseous clouds began to form, the weightier matter began to be
concentrated towards their core center, eventually resulting in
gravitational forces under the laws of physics. As this process
continues, some of these nuclei eventually evolved into our planets/dry
land whereas other larger bodies were destine to become our so-called
suns or stars or other celestial matter. Note: The time requirement for
an object to grow to the mass require for our planet, was only two
days or so for the planets and about three days to become stars/suns.
We can know this for they appear on Gods third and fourth days
respectively.]

Gen 1:10 And God called the dry land Earth; and the gathering together of
the waters called he Seas: and God saw that it was good. [At this point
our Earthly sphere is dry land only at the center and surrounded by
seas of water. In other words, no dry surface land as yet, while the
settling process continues and biological life processes related to plant
life are ready to begin.]

Gen 1:11 And God said, Let the earth bring forth grass, the herb yielding
seed, and the fruit tree yielding fruit after his kind, whose seed is in itself,
upon the earth: and it was so. [As the Earth nears completion of it’s
settling process, and conditions stabilize, the plant life begin to be
developed.]

Gen 1:12 And the earth brought forth grass, and herb yielding seed after
his kind, and the tree yielding fruit, whose seed was in itself, after his
kind: and God saw that it was good. [All being developed, still under
water, by the chemosynthesis (chemical) process. No suns or sunshine
yet].

Gen 1:13 And the evening and the morning were the third day.

Gen 1:14 And God said, Let there be lights in the firmament of the heaven
to divide the day from the night; and let them be for signs, and for seasons,
and for days, and years. [At this point, some of those objects that were
being assembled during God's second and third days began to grow
into suns, due to the nuclear reaction caused by the their sheer mass
and intense heat of their molten centers; they simply burst into flame.
As the sun was being formed, giving birth to our solar system, the
initial condensation process for our planet now began to reverse itself,
resulting in an evaporation processes caused by the heat produced by
our sun. This also establishes the hospitable atmosphere for our
orbiting planet. This would give reason to the scientist who just last
year (2005) concluded that Mars too was under water at one time.
Again, keep in mind that these scriptures are over three thousand
years ago. It is only now that science is starting to reveal information
that verifies what the bible had reported so long ago.]
 Gen 1:15-19 And let them be for lights in the firmament of the heaven to
give light upon the earth: and it was so. And God made two great lights;
the greater light to rule the day, and the lesser light to rule the night: he
made the stars also. And God set them in the firmament of the heaven to
give light upon the earth, And to rule over the day and over the night, and
to divide the light from the darkness: and God saw that it was good. And
the evening and the morning were the fourth day. [This process of adding
the moon was probably necessary to establish the hospitable climate
on our planet. The sun being in place is now the cause for the
development towards higher life forms on our earth as it continues it's
evolution progresses.]

Up to this stage, it appears that this was all created/ devised, invented,
originated, designed, before God said “Let there be light”; meaning
everything from the second, third, and forth day were “made/H6213/‛âśâh,
not created. The first day was to establish visibility and time. This was not
“created/H1254/bara”. It is important to recognize the different Hebrew
terms used here. To make no distinction between “create” and “made” spells
trouble/confusion.

Gen 1:20 And God said, Let the waters bring forth abundantly the moving
creature that hath life, and fowl that may fly above the earth in the open
firmament of heaven. [At this point, still no dry surface land as yet.
However, those animal creatures, along with other living organism,
like the bugs and other free moving life forms now begin to appear,
with the fish inhabiting the more dense areas nearer the earth's
surface while the flying fish, then birds developing into the outer, less
dense regions.]

Gen 1:21-22 And God created great whales, and every living creature that
moveth, which the waters brought forth abundantly, after their kind, and
every winged fowl after his kind: and God saw that it was good. And God
blessed them, saying, Be fruitful, and multiply, and fill the waters in the
seas, and let fowl multiply in the earth. And the evening and the morning
were the fifth day. [During this past forth and fifth day period, the
Earth was in it’s drying out phase so by the ending of the fifth day,
most everything was still under water, whoever, there must have
begun to appear dry spots on the Earth, for here it seems that the
birds were the first to multiply on the dry land, making ready for all
of the other land animals.]

Gen 1:23 And God said, Let the earth bring forth the living creature after
his kind, cattle, and creeping thing, and beast of the earth after his kind:
and it was so. [At this point, the evaporation progressed had
progressed to the point of revealing a sufficient amount of dry surface
land thus now made ready for dry surface animal life. The
evaporation process still continues to dry out our earth up until the
time after Adam was made. Reference this next verse for confirmation
of the above:]

Gen 2:4 - 6 (KJV) These are the generations of

the heavens and of the earth when they were
created, in the day that the LORD God made
the earth and the heavens, 5And every plant of
the field before it was in the earth, and every
herb of the field before it grew: for the LORD
God had not caused it to rain upon the earth,
and there was not a man to till the ground.
6
But there went up a mist from the earth, and
watered the whole face of the ground. [It is
important to note this last part for this verse confirms,
to me at least, the evaporation process as stated above.
The "greenhouse effect" is what maintained the
temperature required to sustain selected life forms. At
this point, it must be said that, if this above process is
correct, then all planets, being formed from the same
like substance, most certainly, had life forms in their
evolution process, understanding that they were all
born out of the same “waters”.]

Notice here that God again starts “creating” again with Gen 1:21,
with the great whales etc. This could indicate that now God was
directly involved in controlling animal life forms and not just letting it
to natural chance.

Gen 1:25-26 And God made the beast of the earth after his kind, and cattle
after their kind, and every thing that creepeth upon the earth after his kind:
and God saw that it was good. And God said, Let us make man in our
image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the
sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth,
and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth. [Notice that
now we have dry surface land, thus land animals on this sixth day,
and that man is last to be “made” in this creation period. However, in
verse 26, I see that: when God said “let us make man in our image” I
am persuaded that writer meant that God is speaking to his just made
animal kingdom and then making man part animal, and part
spiritual, as we now understand “man” to be. See Gen 3:22. However,
it does not read this way in the bibles that I read from. There is
confusion here and leads most to believe that Gen 2 is a second
creation account, which I disagree with; for it adds contradictions
with the first account. To me, chapter 2:1-7, is a summation of Gen 1,
and starting with Gen2:8 we have a flash back in time to when man is
 placed in the garden. If this understanding were true, it would
remove the confusion and contradictions and would restore harmony
with Gen 1.]

Genesis 1:27 - 30 (KJV) So God created man in his own image, in the
image of God created he him; male and female created he them. And God
blessed them, and God said unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and
replenish/to fill the earth, and subdue it: and have dominion over the fish
of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over every living thing that
moveth upon the earth. And God said, Behold, I have given you every
herb bearing seed, which is upon the face of all the earth, and every tree,
in the which is the fruit of a tree yielding seed; to you it shall be for meat.
And to every beast of the earth, and to every fowl of the air, and to every
thing that creepeth upon the earth, wherein there is life, I have given every
green herb for meat: and it was so. [Here it is emphasized that God
“created” man. This to me indicates that he came up with something
new/different, not just something evolved as a modification of
something made before; an ape for example. This is what
distinguishes man from all other animals; for now man is also partly
in the image of his creator.]

Gen 1:31-2:3 And God saw every thing that he had made, and, behold, it
was very good. And the evening and the morning were the sixth day. Thus
the heavens and the earth were finished, and all the host of them. And on
the seventh day God ended his work which he had made; and he rested on
the seventh day from all his work which he had made. And God blessed
the seventh day, and sanctified it: because that in it he had rested from all
his work which God created and made. [Note also that God starts his
Sabbath day rest, which lasts a full day according to God's calendar,
and a thousand years for man’s, and then he gets directly involved
again in his work, just before the big flood.]

Here we are now at that point in our development when everything was made and
our Earth resembled an egg orbiting our sun: the cloud coverage representing the
egg shell, the albumen our atmosphere and the yoke our planet. At what point in
time it began to rain on the earth isn't clear, but it could have been no earlier than
Gen 6. The evidence of not having any rainbow is due to the thick cloud-like
coverage that will practically disappear with the flood when God finally places the
rainbow in our heavens, but only after The Deluge. Here is something written in the
book of Job that suits the situation:

Job 38:9 (YHWH speaking) When I made the cloud the garment thereof,
and thick darkness a swaddling band for it, etc.
From this point in scripture (Gen 2), the scene shifts back to the sixth day when man
was made. This verse does not represent a second account or different opinion as
some are led to believe, IMHO.

Gen 2:7-8 And the LORD God formed man of the dust of the ground, and
breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul.
And the LORD God planted a garden eastward in Eden; and there he put
the man whom he had formed. etc. etc. [Note that man (his body) was
made first, and then after God breathed the breath of life into the
man, he then became a living soul; the first living soul of the species
homo sapiens. All descendents from Adam on, now have a soul, and
this soul is the hidden invisible man of the “heart” so to speak, that
constitutes the human being which now occupies a human body.

It is conceded that trying to think, using a different time frame to figure these things
out, is at the least difficult, but with a little patience and a nudge from the holy
spirit, one could believe the account more or less how it was written. When Jesus
performed the multiplication of the loaves and fishes, the time required was
minimized, so to speak. I personally believe this story of Creation just as it is
written. For a Christian, they are urged to believe it also. So time in these cases are
relative. It must be understood that different bibles present a slightly different
interpretation than this KJV but variations are relatively small and should present
no great difference.

At this point of man's history, things become a little more clear as the bible
describes them; Once man is thrown out of the Garden of Eden and is left on his
own for the next 1000 years as God has his seventh day rest. This rest ends just
before the time of the Flood when, God gets back to work and intervenes with his
material creation on this Earth.

Gen 6:1-3 And it came to pass, when men began to multiply on the face of
the earth, and daughters were born unto them, That the sons of God saw
the daughters of men that they were fair; and they took them wives of all
which they chose. And the LORD/YHWH said, My spirit shall not always
strive with man, for that he also is flesh: yet his days shall be an hundred
and twenty years. [It appears that on God's return, he discovered
another problem with Earth as his other celestial sons start to become
attracted to the daughters of man.]

If we continue with this train of reasoning, the date of God's return would be
sometime roughly around 2300-2200 BC. (Calculated using the information
according to the Biblical dates given in Genesis from Abraham going backwards.
Assuming that the birth of Abraham was around 1936 BC). It is important to
believe that starting anew under Noah, God had plans/laws laid out that will
eventually aid man in correcting some of the defects which were inherent in their
souls, and whom God had chosen as potential inhabitants for the Kingdom of his
firstborn son by bring some of them to salvation. It's my opinion that from the time
of Adam until the end of our earth as we know it (materialistic in nature), 7000years
(seven days using Gods weekly calendar) will pass and then the last trumpet will
sound announcing the final judgment for material Earth and it's contents. IMHO,
we are at the end of the sixth day, using this above reasoning, so if my calculations
are correct, the time is short and the prophesy on Satan being chained up for a
thousand years is about to begin. My guess is that the earth is going to flip over on
its axis, or the magnetic poles are about to shift, or something like that. Ref Rev
6:13-14 And the stars/comets of heaven fell unto the earth, even as a fig tree casteth her
untimely figs, when she is shaken of a mighty wind. And the heaven departed as a scroll
when it is rolled together; and every mountain and island were moved out of their places.
[Whatever the case, it's going to be a rough time for all on this Earth, for scripture
says:]

Mat 24:22 And except those days should be shortened, there should no
flesh be saved: but for the elect's sake those days shall be shortened.
[Amen]

This rendition undoubtedly will not be sufficient to make many people believe the
story of creation, however if a person wants to believe and needs some help on this
matter, I hope that this will be of some use towards their understanding. For the
rest, I recommend that they try with all their might to believe that "God says what
he means and means what he says". So before you reject anything attributed to
God's word, use pure blind trust [Faith] in his words and promises, and he will give
you spiritual food, which is strength for the soul, in return.

P.s. With the "Big Bang" theory, offered by the scientific community, how did most
all of those suns or other orbiting objects become almost perfectly round, or was
that initial object that made the "Big Bang" made like a shotgun shell inside?

May God bless you.
