Regarding Genesis and the beginning of all things...

[Dr. Walter]

The first is a literal historical account of creation whereas the second is a literal historical account of the fall of man that ends in chapter 3. The second encompasses more time beyond the sixth and seventh day of creation.

Moses could not say "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." if Satan had already fallen and man had already fallen into sin.

The Sabbath commemorated such a creation - complete - sin free - and "very good."

Genesis 2:5-31 provides additional information that is inclusive of events on the sixth day and following necessary to provide for the history of the fall of man concluding in chapter three.

Nice try, but that simply will not wash. Go read the two and you will see that the second creation story is very different from the first and that it is not simply an extension of the sixth day. Also, there is still the problem of two versions of how Adam and Eve were created. Also, there is the problem that in Gen. 2 Adam and Eve were created before plants. So the 2nd creation story is not, as I said above, an extension of the 6th day.

This causes me absolutely no problem as both stories say "God did it" and that is what is important.



Gen. 2:4-7:



Gen. 1:20-25:
