Introduction
Up to the 19th century in the western world, creation was quite simple, God creation as depicted in Genesis in The Bible, (other world cultures had other origins of creation), then along came Darwin, if you didn’t believe in God or found the creation story too difficult, this was the answer, we evolved.
|
Today we have the two groups, Creationists and Evolutionists. Many people accept evolution but find aspects of evolution too difficult, so along came intelligent design and creation science… When I was putting the finishing touches to this article I looked up the meaning of “firmament” in my dictionary I came across, “ The modern bible, and non- canonical related texts, present a cosmology that is incompatible with modern scientific knowledge”. Look up “Firmament’ on Wikipedia to see this>> I don’t know the basis or study the author had done to make this statement but I think when you have finished reading this article you will question his/ her judgement. I hope the following will be of interest to you. It was about twenty years ago when I asked my wife to buy me a new atlas of the world – I wanted to know the names of the new emerging African Countries. One evening I came home from work and she presented me with an Atlas of the World, I was delighted. |
Book Description
An atlas featuring up-to-date information about the past, present and future of the planet, including natural history, weather, geology, sea and space. The colour maps are designed to give a three-dimensional effect by use of altitude hints and to provide easy identification of places – using bold typography – and of physical features. Eleven pages are devoted to the UK and islands. Most major placenames are given in both native and translated forms, and the index lists over 45,000 places.

As I scanned through this new book, there were pages in the beginning that intrigued me, sixty pages titled “A World of Wonders”, the latest knowledge of our scientists on a number of subjects I give you the titles, a brief summary of the subjects covered and some of the thoughts that started my ideas that led to this article.
Pages 4 & 5: The Universe: From Big Bang to an Uncertain Future.
This article introduces the universe, the big bang theory and the expanding universe. dark matter and the concept that when you are looking at a distant star, or galaxy, with the speed of light, you are seeing the object as it was a long time ago.
Pages 6 & 7: Our Neighborhood in Space.
This article describes the Galaxy, the structure of the Milky Way, no need to go into the details now but what was of great interest to me was the statement that, “ In the central bulge, 30,000 light years in diameter, gravity has concentrated the stars very thickly. If the Earth were orbiting a star there, night would be made as bright as day.”
In Galactic Architecture, it introduces the idea that centrifugal forces are forcing the suns, that make up the Galaxy, out, but gravity is keeping them together.
Also it has a small article on the star Sirius, I knew that this star was the subject of much reverence in many ancient cultures throughout the world.
Pages 8 & 9: Stars: Cosmic Dust to Nuclear Furnace,
This article describes our Sun, its size, position in the Milky Way and how our scientists think it was formed.
What got my initial interest was the cycle from the Supernova, through the Collapsing Cloud, the Spinning Disc, Embryo Solar System to Today. Within the spinning disc the Sun and Planets were forming, they started off as clouds of “cosmic dust” obviously without structure or “form” and that as the planets were forming the Sun was getting brighter. It also covers the scientists ideas on Black Holes.
Pages 10 &11: Solar System: Empire of the Sun.
This article describes the structure of our Solar System, the planets with a lot of technical details.
It starts off with “ Some 4.6 million years ago, a spinning cloud of cosmic dust and gas contracted to form a young star and its retinue of planets. What emerged was the highly ordered structure of the Solar System.” The Solar System is highly ordered, the Sun, the planets and moons all have their places, positions, orbits and rotations set to patterns, they do not stray from these patterns.
( The concept of “order” in creation is, in my opinion, very important, it’s touched on in later parts of this article and is the subject of a later article in preparation.)
We have recently been introduced to the idea of information manipulation in space, I Cloud, SkyDrive etc the power of orbiting bodies , satellites, but the planets are also orbiting bodies, could they be ????? MMMMM
When I look to the sky I see these tiny specks of light, compared to the Sun And Moon they are small but do they have an influence ???? Why are they named after the days of the week ? and the Gods in both English and Latin languages? what influence do they have on our make up or soul?
Pages 12 & 13: Partners in Orbit.
This article describes space exploration by the various “ inter planetary space probes” it has details of the various discoveries made on the moon and planets of our solar system.
Pages 14 & 15: The Moon: A Fossil Planet.
This article describes the Moon, starts by summarizing the various theories about how it was created and has details of its cycle and composition. Also details of other moons orbiting the other planets in our Solar System. Of interest is that our scientists say that the Moon came after the Earth was formed.
The Moon does not retain an atmosphere, so there is no weather system, consequently the craters made by giant meteorites that bombarded the crust during the early years are still in evidence.
The Moon is very important for the development of life on planet Earth, it exerts a force or forces that establish many aspects that lead to the correct conditions for life to develop, the tides of the seas and oceans are just one.
Pages 16 & 17: The Making of the Earth.
This article describes the cycle of the formation of planet Earth it goes through the following:-
- The Cold Dawn of Early Earth.
- The Melting Pot
- The Crusted Earth.
- The First Sparks of Life.
- The Air that we Breathe
- Laying the Foundations for the Modern World.
What struck me was he statement “Because the Sun was still too young to radiate large amounts of heat and light into the Solar System, the atmosphere was cold and dark.
Soooo, when the Earth was forming, it started out as a shapeless cloud of gas and dust and has slowly become the planet we know today, the Sun was getting brighter????
It also states that sedimentary rocks have been found that exist from more than 3.5 million years ago, that means that dry land and the weather system existed long before this.
Fossil remains of microorganisms, life, that lived more than 3.5 billion years ago.
Pages 18 & 19: Earth in Space.
This article introduces the Earth in its ideal position in the Solar System where water exists in its three states, gaseous, liquid and solid because of its position and distance from the Sun, the magnetic shield created by the earths magnetism, along with the layered atmosphere protects us from all the nasty cosmic things that the Sun and space throw at us.
Pages 20 & 21: The Continental Mosaic.
This article introduced me to the full extent of Plate Tectonics, how the plates of the earth move about causing the continents to move across the surface of the planet.
I use the Geologic Time on EnchantedLearning.com, it shows the Geologic Time Scale with a nice moving picture of plate tectonics.
One point that interests me is, I think that it was Grahame Hancock that pointed it out in one of his books, is that Giza in Egypt is about the centre of the present day land mass, put one finger on Giza and run it around the land mass, down the west coast of America across to Asia up over Russia, this is best done on a globe, Google Earth is difficult and almost impossible on a map, go to the other side of the globe, it’s all water, the Pacific Ocean, but have you also noticed looking at plate tectonics that Giza was also about the center of the land mass in the projections of Pangea 270 million years ago. If at this distant past time one of the poles, north or south, was over Giza (the sphinx) could centrifugal forces with the earths rotation contribute to the movement of the plates?
I have long been interested in mysterious alignments after reading Alfred Watkins book The Old Straight Path back in the late 1960s ——I have studied small alignments such as Stonehenge and the Belchin Triangle in Switzerland, France and Germany, many others but the new publications bring this into a new dimension, the one I like most is the Easter Island, Nazca, Angkor by Jim Alison, an alignment based on the Golden Ratio Phi 1.618 look at some of his work it is out of this world. ( Geographic Geometry)
The ancient Egyptians often showed their gods with measuring instruments, could there be some significance in this? This will be a major point in an other article I am preparing for future publication.
Pages 22 &23: Volcanoes and Earthquakes: The Shuddering Earth.
This article introduces volcanos, terrific explosions that put millions of tons of debris into the sky, the ring of fire, subduction zones.
As I am reading and thinking about earthquakes and volcanos, I thought about plate tectonics, when I looked at the layers of strata I wondered about the conditions that were present when parts of the Earths crust was moving all over the place. The geological record seems to indicate that massive earth movements, earthquakes, and volcanos took place in that far distant past, most of it before the early emergence of early man.
My mind went to Revelations in The Bible:
Revelations 16 18 “ and there was a great earthquake, such a mighty and great earthquake as had not occurred since man were on the earth.
What source of knowledge did John have to make this incredible statement?
How did he know about these massive earthquakes long before man existed on this planet?
Pages 24 & 25: Mountain Building: Forces that Shape the Earth.
This article shows the mountain ranges in the world and how they were formed.
Pages 26 & 27: Mountain Sculpture: Landscapes of Erosion.
This article shows how erosion has shaped the surface of the earth.
Pages 28 & 29, Rivers and Lakes.
This article shows the waters on the planet.
Pages 30 & 31: Rocks: Recording the History of the Earth.
Igneous, Metamorphic and Sedimentary rocks, locked up in them is the story of the history of the surface of our planet. We can see what happened and what conditions prevailed at the time of their formation. The layers of rock tell the stories of the land movements, the seas and the formation of life.
In the past this could be seen in natural cliffs, quarries, mines etc, today we are cutting roads through mountains, exposing more and more layers that can be looked at and studied by the layman.
I loved the story I was told of a geologist, on ski holiday in the Alps in Europe, he was studying exposed strata and became excited, the oldest layers were on the top and the youngest layers underneath, this meant that the surface had done a complete flip.
Pages 32 & 33: At the Oceans Edge.
Pages 34 & 35: Atlantic: Driving Continents Apart.
Pages 36 & 37: Pacific The Vanishing Ocean.
Pages 38 & 39: Currents and Tides: The Energy Balance of the Oceans.
Pages 40 & 41: Atmosphere: The Earths Screen.
This article talks about the atmosphere, it has various layers, each one carries out an important function in protecting Earth from harm, without these layers life as we know it, would not be possible on planet Earth.
My mind went to a mystery I had read about, in the Quran, V3- He created the seven heavens (skys) in layers. You do not see any imperfection in the creation by the Gracious. Turn your eyes again. Do you see any flaw.
There has been a lot of speculation about the meaning of this text, one is that it is describing the layers of the atmosphere, plug into google-Quran layers, you can read all about it.
As I read the speculation and I study the the words most of the ideas are esoteric.
How did the writer about one thousand four hundred years ago know about layers?
It also brings in the concept of the creation being perfect, orderly, addressed in other ancient documents, specifically, The Book of Enoch.
Pages 42 & 43: Weather The Restless Air.
Pages 44 & 45: Climate: Clothing the Landscape.
Pages 46 & 47: The Changing Climate.
Pages 48 & 49: The Story of Life on Earth.
This article shows the development of life on Earth in four stages:- 1, bacteria, trilobites, 2, plants, shellfish, early insects, trees, & fish, 3, the development of those life forms in 2 to the early dinosaurs 4, the massive abundance of life that exists today, mammals are in the very later stages and man is right at the end of this scale. This is as shown by the fossil record. It also introduced to me the concept that there had been abundances of life and mass extinctions during the various eras of the existence of the Earth.
Pages 50 & 51: The Emergence of Man.
This article shows the emergence of man in five steps through:- 1, The First Steps, Lucy etc from over 3 million years ago, the first possible humanoids? 2, The Handyman, 3, Out of Africa, 4, Neanderthal Man and finishes with 5, The Communicator, us. It also introduces ancient foot prints found in strata, 3.75 million years old, Michael Baigent does a good job in this area in his book “Ancient Traces,” footprints from 500 million years ago??? this throws a big spanner in the works, I have possible explanations in a later article.
How did the ancient writers know, the very simple idea that Homo Sapiens was the last to arrive on the planet, as indicated by the fossil record ??
The following articles are also included in the atlas:
- The Settling of Man: Farming and the City.
- The development of civilization, Mesoamerica, Mesopotamia and the histories of ancient China and India
- The Wanderings of Man and the Making of History.
- Discovery, Empire, and Independence.
- Earths People: Health and Wealth
- The Global Harvest.
- Managing the Planet’s Future.
As I read through these I was impressed with the simple presentation of these subjects in a manner that the ordinary guy like me could understand the basics.
Much of the knowledge was new to me….. each page was packed full of the latest knowledge of our modern scientific world, many sources, each contributing to this overall knowledge.
I had no education in these subjects, I did not have the fortune or misfortune to have had indoctrination into what the academics taught, I had started a method of studying that involved selecting a subject, finding all I could about the subject, from all sources, this was difficult only ten years ago but today you can find the academic view of the subject and most of the contrary views somewhere on the internet.
After finding as much information as I could I studied it and classified it —–good, possible impossible, through this process I applied reason to each piece of information, I analyzed it in my mind, this lead me to conclusions.
I was guided by Islamic tradition, I quote from World Scripture, A Comparative Anthology of Sacred Texts, “These collections are the fruits of Ilm al- hadith, the Science of Tradition, which establishes criteria for deciding the reliability of traditions, classifying them as “sound,” “good,” “weak,” or “infirm.” “
I read through the pages in the atlas once and again and again, there was something in the back of my mind, something like a message, eventually it started to dawn on me that the modern scientists were saying something similar to the creation story of Genesis, it was the SEQUENCE of what our scientists were saying compared with the days of Genesis.
One main lead-in, was the words from:
The Making of the Earth, The Cold Dawn of Early Earth (4.6 Billion Years Ago)
The text says “Along with the other planets, the Earth was born some 4.6 billion years ago out of a cloud of gas surrounding the early Sun. Particles of dust in this swirling cloud collided and coalesced to create our embryonic world.”
‘Because the Sun was still too young to radiate large amounts of heat and light into the solar system, the atmosphere- was cold and dark. ‘
Then I went to Stars: Cosmic Dust to Nuclear Furnace
- Supernova
- After the Explosion
- Neutron Star
- Collapsing Cloud
- Spinning Disc.
- Embryo Solar System
- Today.
So, what do we have, after the supernova, in the collapsing cloud and spinning disc, cosmic forces start the formation of the Sun and planets, the Sun starts to burn so becoming brighter and giving out heat and light, the planets are still clouds of cosmic dust ( cosmic dust could be gaseous liquid or solid, or a mixture of these.) As the planets and Earth are forming the Sun is getting brighter, my thoughts went to Day One of Genesis.
I was also studying the other days of Genesis
Before I go further on this analysis, I would like to raise the word “DAY” in Genesis, this has been a stumbling block for most readers of The Bible in the past. The word means a unit of time, the time that our Earth takes to rotate one time, now it is obvious to most modern people, that the Earth took longer than six earthly days to create and “Day One” of Genesis could not be a modern day because the early Earth, the ball of gas and dust was certainly rotating at a different speed than it is today.
At this stage I looked up the word in a dictionary to see if I could get some more understanding :
- *Astronomy, a single rotation of a planet in relation to its primary.
- *Astronomy, the period on a planet when its primary star is above the horizon.
Not a lot of help, but it does introduce the astronomy angle and the concept that a day could be an era as in the “old days” or “ancient days”
As I was pondering over this, a “day” must be millions or even billions of our days, with the help of the geologic time scale I had a thought that it could be something galactic, the time that our galaxy takes to rotate once, 220-250 million years I read.
- About 250 million years ago at the start of the Triassic Period the first dinosaurs appeared.
- About 500 million years ago at the start of the Ordovician Period, primitive fish and other similar life forms started to appear ,
- the Cambrian Explosion was 500 to 540 million years ago.
At this stage I propose that the word “era” is appropriate as a better translation from the original text than the word day.
From the dictionary, era means an indefinite and very long period of time.
From that I went back to Genesis – are our scientists are telling us the story of Genesis?
My thoughts lead me to the following:
Genesis taken from the Authorized (King James) Version often from the Gidions. I travel quite frequently.
(Note: dictionary definitions taken from the New Oxford Dictionary on my Apple.)
Day 1
Genesis 1-5
1 In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth.
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.
3 And God said let there be light: and there was light.
4 And God called the light Day, and the darkness he called Night. And the evening and the morning were the first day.
Dictionary definitions:
Heaven
- abode of the God or Gods
- the sky.
Firmament
- the heavens or sky.
- the sky conceived as a vast dome.
Form
- the body or shape of a person or thing.
- the arrangement of parts; shape.
Scientific knowledge.
The Solar System was formed after the collapsing cloud during the Spinning disc period, the Sun was not giving off light or heat during its initial formation but gradually became brighter and brighter. The earth was originally without shape, cosmic dust, it formed into shape by cosmic forces through a liquid phase to become the wonderful planet we live on today.
Formation of extrasolar planets around a newly formed star (video)
The Genesis text seems to me, a fairly good description of this.
Day 2
Genesis 6-8
6 And God said, Let there be a firmament in the midst of the waters, and let it divide the waters from the waters.
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.
8 And God called the firmament Heaven. And the evening and the morning were the second day.
Although this text does not refer to layers, it does bring together the concept that the atmosphere and the weather system are linked.
The atmosphere is the layers of gases that surround our planet, Earth is the only planet in the Solar System with a suitable atmosphere for life to develop, the atmosphere has various layers, each one performs a function protecting our planet.
Basically water from the surface of the planet evaporates, rises and hits the colder air in the upper troposphere condenses and forms clouds which in turn fall to the surface as precipitation, watering the surface of the earth.
See this article about the Hydrologic Cycle>>
This is the basis of our weather system that waters the surface so that life can exist.
An atmosphere, water below and water above, Genesis seems a fairly good description of this.
Day 3
Genesis 9-13
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.
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.
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.
12 And the earth brought forth grass, and herb yielding seed after his kind, and the tree yielding fruit whose seed was in its self, after his kind and God saw that it was good.
13 And the evening and morning were the third day.
As the planet Earth was cooling down gravitation took the heavier elements such as iron to the center and lighter elements such as silicates came to the surface forming a crust, the gases and liquids formed the oceans and seas and atmosphere.
Run plate tectonics back to its beginning, they usually start about 800 million years ago, so dry land was in existence sometime before this.
The oldest rocks found are from the Archeozoic Eon. 3.9 – 2.5 billion years ago
I am finding it difficult to establish how old dry land is but presumably the plates shown in the early plate tectonics are dry land 800 mya so dry land is very ancient. The plates came together as Pangaea.
The next was a puzzle to me, the fossil record seems to indicate that grass and trees did not appear until many eons after the establishment of dry land.
The earliest forms of life in the fossil record are bacteria —— now click on Tree of Life in Fossil Record – Eubacteria—– you have the bacteria making up the Tree of Life.
The BacteriaTree of Life
What is the meaning of “seed was in its self”? Could it mean the ability to breed or multiply, the very basis of life. Could it have something to do with the series, The Seed of Life, the Egg of Life, the Flower of Life, the Fruit of Life ending with the Tree of Life? ( See The Flower of life article.)
The term “after his kind” will be dealt with in a later article.
I have not found an explanation for the word “grass” at this early stage but it is fairly obvious that before we had flesh eating animals we had to have herb eating animals, grass and grains are the most basic foods for many animals so herbs must have appeared at a very early stage in the development of the Earth.
This seems a good summary of what could have happened during Day 3.
Day 4
Genesis 14-22
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.
15 And let them be for lights in the firmament of the heaven to give light upon the earth: and it was so.
16 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.
17 And God set them in the firmament. Of the heaven to give light upon the earth.
18 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.
19 And the evening and the morning were the fourth day.
As I was pondering over the other days, day 4 was a complete mystery to me, I had some logic for the other days but for this one I had total mystery, too many questions I could not come up with a logical answer, we already have a Sun , moon?
It was some years after I started this study that I learnt about precession, the movement of the Earth that makes the zodiac constellations move across the sky, with a complete orbit approximately every 26,000 years.
As I was pondering the word “set”, I realized that everything in the Solar System and beyond are in set positions.The stars that make up the zodiac constellations are set to move across the sky in an orderly fashion, or more correctly the Earth is set with a wobble so that they appear to move across the sky in an orderly fashion, they are SYMBOLS, Leo, Pisces The Fish, Leo, the Lion etc in many ancient cultures.
The planets orbit in set orbits in our Solar System. The Earth orbits in a set orbit in the exact distance from the Sun for life, creating the year, the set tilt creates the seasons, the rotation, the day and the orbit of the moon, the month. Interesting I can find no astral explanation for the seven day week, more about this later article.
dictionary :
– Set, put, lay, or stand something in a specified place or position, there is also a sense of creating order, as in “she set the agenda for the meeting” or “he set the table” ie creating order on the table.
Thinking about the word “order” where have I read about the order of the stars?
This now takes me to The Book of Enoch Chapter 2, “ Observe ye everything that takes place in heaven, how they do not change their orbits, and the luminaries which are in heaven, how they all rise and set in order each in its season, and transgress not against their appointed order.”
Could Day 4 be describing the final adjustments to the Solar System before advanced forms of life could be created on planet Earth?
Most scientists recognize that cosmic impacts are responsible for knocking the planets and the moon about, could it be that these impacts where planned, rather like a pool or snooker player sends one ball moving to hit another so that the second ball and other balls end up in the exact position he wants. This could have been single meteorites or multiple strikes and at angles to put the Earth, other planets and the Moon in their exact positions.
This has emerged as, in my mind, as a very strong study in favor of God Creation and is a very possible explanation of Day 4.
Day 5
Genesis 20 -23
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.
21 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.
22 And God blessed them, saying, Be fruitful, and multiply, and fill the waters in the seas, and let fowl multiply in the earth.
23 And the evening and the morning were the fifth day.
Day five is quite simple, this could be the creation of fish, whales, (mammal) birds etc, this fits in nicely with the start of the Ordovicain Period 500 mya to the end of the Permian Period 248 mya when most of these life forms first came into the fossil record.
Day 6
Genesis 24 -31
24 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.
25 And God made the beast of the earth after his kind, and cattle after their kind, and every thing that creepeth on the earth after his kind: and God saw that it was good.
26 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 every creeping thing that creepeth on the earth.
27 So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him: male and female created he them.
28 And God blessed them, and God said unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish 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.
29 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 which is the fruit of a tree yielding seed; to you it shall be for meat.
30 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.
31 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.
Again quite simple, the fossil record indicates that mammals where the last animals to arrive on planet Earth, although the whale is classed as a mammal, the four legged land animal was the last to arrive and that Homo Sapiens was the last of these.
Day 7
This is the subject of a separate study.
In Conclusion
As I was preparing the text, it was the sequence, the seven days of creation in Genesis that struck me, it seems to be exactly the same as that which our modern scientists are saying…
- How could someone thousands of years ago have written this text with such accuracy?
- How did someone all those thousands of years ago know that the earth was once without shape and became a globe of cosmic matter, liquids, and how did that person know that it was without light when it was first forming?
- Is it coincidence that the solar system is at the outer region of the galaxy where the side of the earth which is not facing the Sun is facing to outer space, darkness, except for a few sparkling lights, the stars thus making day and night?
- How did that person know that after the formation of the globe that the next important stage was the formation of an atmosphere to protect the planet from the Suns radiation and the establishment of a weather system to water the surface?
- How did that person know that, as the Earth was maturing that the surface formed a crust of various elements which became the first land and water formed the seas?
- That the surface of the Earth became a breading ground for life to start?
- Did he/she know that the moon came after the Earth?
- Did this person have an understanding of precession where the zodiac constellations move very slowly across the sky, did the writer understand the orbits and rotations of the planets, and the tilt of the Earth to make the seasons?
- How did the writer know that whales, birds and fish came before land mammals and that all these animals came before man, primitive man is not supposed to have this knowledge?
I leave the readers to make their own conclusions, I know Iv’e made mine.
My theories are based on nearly fifty years of study and a lot of thought, each is a possible explanation if you have other applicable information or knowledge on any of the subjects discussed, I welcome constructive criticism.
The concept that this ancient document has a scientific basis has lead me to study many of the other ancient texts searching for clues, in the past people could read an ancient text and not understanding it they would pass over, not searching for a deeper meaning, consider it as an early form of science fiction, magic or just plain mumbo jumbo, today we must look deeper.
In summary, I would like to emphasize that it is my opinion that Genesis is a description of the creation of the Solar System, not the Universe, as some very prominent people in high places have suggested.
If you follow my logic , in this and future articles you will be able to have a possible meaning or explanation for all of the mysteries of the world, mysterious artifacts, buildings, mysterious mythology occurrences, you will maybe understand the messages that came out of antiquity.
If you bring all of the threads together and I mean ALL.
