What God did on Earth's first fourth day.

In the beginning, God created the Heavens and the Earth. And this describes His actions:
Nothing existed except God. What was outside of God is unknown, occluded by darkness.
God spoke light into existence, so light and darkness were separated, thus day and night of day one.

For example, there was a time when cell phones did not exist, they were created.

But they were created out of material that already existed.

That makes no sense! I meant to say "they were "made" out of material that already existed.

I edited that in post #124

God spoke the heavens, the created space of our universe, into existence, separating the unknown above or below it.
This is what God created on day two.

God created the planet earth out of the unknown, including dry land and seas. Then God created the vegetation, each reproducing after their kind, and that is what God created on day three.

When were the angels created. We do not know. Many, including myself, believe they were created before day three of the creation week, when God established the planet earth with its vegetation. Job 38:7 says the "sons of God" shouted for joy, and many take "sons of God" here to be a reference is angels. How far before creation day three God only knows.

Unbiblical nonsense. Angels are created, thus before creation, God alone existed.

The nonsense is stubbornly clinging to the notion that thinking that God's abode was a part of the creation of the sky, as it was expressed to the Hellenistic Jews, and the creation of the earth. You see the word 'heaven' there, and like someone whose only knowledge of the Scriptures was what he heard in vacation bible school, you think it means God's Throne.

The creation week is about the creation of the immaterial world. NOT the material world.

God's Throne is not in outer space some where like the Mormons think.

More Gibberish, God existed before creation. Did I say God created His abode as part of creation? Nope - so they are off to races yet again, spewing falsehoods at every turn.

But the heavenly host (i.e. angels) doesn't mean the host of the sky. And neither did God say He created His hosts during the creation week described in Genesis. So there you are, spewing your vain imaginations at every turn.
