| | Creation according to Genesis - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | Creation according to Genesis refers to the description of the creation of the heavens and the earth by God, as described in Genesis, the first book of the Bible. | | | Genesis is part of the canonical scriptures for both Christianity and Judaism, and to a lesser degree Islam, and thus to believers is taken as being of spiritual significance. | | | For example, in Genesis 1, the word for God is Elohim, the generic and distant God, while God's name in Genesis 2 is the personal and sacred YHWH Elohim, the Lord of Gods. |

| | Genesis - definition of Genesis in Encyclopedia |
| | God created an eternal, unbreakable covenant with all mankind at the time of Noah; this is known as the Noachide covenant. | | | Genesis (Greek: &;, having the meanings of "birth", "creation", "cause", "beginning", "source" and "origin"; translated from Hebrew &; Bereshit or Bərê?îth) is the first book of the Torah (five books of Moses) and hence the first book of the Tanakh, the Hebrew Bible; it is also the first book of the Christian Old Testament. | | | Some historians believe Genesis to be a more recent example of monotheistic belief than Zoroastrianism, interpreting the commandment "have no other gods before me" as an artifact of early henotheism among the Jews -- i.e., as evidence that the Hebrews were not to worship the gods of other peoples, but only their own tribal god. |

| | Genesis 1:1 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
| | Genesis 1:1 is the first Bible verse of the first chapter in the Book of Genesis, and contains the first words of the Bible. | | | The verse begins the account of creation according to Genesis and its translation and interpretation is a major theological issue. | | | Similarly, midrash Genesis Rabbah (1:1) actually opens by declaring that the first word of the verse means "with the Torah" and it suggests that the Divine Architect used the Torah as a blueprint. |

| | The Doctrine of Creation and it's Significance |
| | Creation is the exercise of God's free will. | | | It was a divine fiat, creation by divine decree. | | | Whilst creation is predicated primarily of God in the unity of His being, there are specific instances of this creative work being accomplished through God, the Son (the Lord Jesus Christ), and the Holy Spirit. |

| | The secularism of the 18th century and the gradual rejection of the concept of God by science in the 19th century contributed to the rapid acceptance of Darwin's views of evolution. | | | Rejecting creation challenges belief in the Bible as a whole. | | | According to data gathered by D. Kelly, the rapidly growing churches in the United States are those with firm beliefs. |

| | Young-Earth Creationists, who believe that the Earth was created by God a few thousand years ago, literally as described in Creation according to Genesis, within the approximate timeframe of the Ussher-Lightfoot Calendar or somewhat more according to the interpretation of biblical genealogies. | | | Due to the lack of a detailed account of creation in the Qur'an, other aspects than the literal truth of the scripture are emphasised in the Islamic debate. | | | Old-Earth Creationists, who maintain that the physical universe was created by God, but that the creation event of Genesis is not to be taken strictly literally. |

| | Herman Bavinck on Creation |
| | But Genesis 1:2 reports merely that the earth was without form, that is, that it existed in a formless or shapeless state, undifferentiated into light and darkness, the several bodies of water, dry land and sea. | | | Finally, it deserves consideration that everything which according to Genesis 1 and 2 took place on the sixth day can hardly be crowded into the pale of such a day as we now know the length of days to be. | | | After having mentioned it briefly in the first verse, the account of Genesis proceeds in the second verse to the broader report of the finishing of the earth. |

| | Theology Today - Vol 48, No.1 - April 1991 - ARTICLE - What Is Creation? Rereading Genesis 1 and 2 |
| | Genesis 1 and 2 are also regarded in Christian churches and in the areas of their cultural influence as the orienting foundation for knowledge and talk about "creation." Even to the present day, exegetical and systematic efforts to mine the content of "creation" take recourse to these texts. | | | In Genesis 1, we find this clearly expressed in the statement that the lights are "to be signs and to serve the determination of festivals, of days and of years" (Gen. 1:14). | | | Neither text describes creation as the totality, the world or nature with the simple addition of an external ground, to which creation is related in mere dependence. |

| | It says (Wednesday and Friday) that the Hebrew words for shrub and plant (Genesis 2:5) refer to spiny and thorny plants that are not part of the original "good creation." Instead, they are part of the "thorns and thistles" (Genesis 3:18) that came as a result of sin. | | | It says that when God created the plants in Genesis 1 they were waiting under the surface of the earth. | | | The Hebrew word used to describe working the ground ("abad" -- Stong's number 5647)in Genesis 2:5 is the same Hebrew word used in Genesis 2:15. |

| | Such an attitude leads to the supplanting of the Kingdom of God by the church, to ecclesiasticism as God’s purpose in creation. | | | Since marriage is so closely linked from creation with God’s covenant with man, it is especially fitting that the Roman Catholic service, in the Blessing which concludes the Marriage Mass, should invoke the Old Testament covenant phrase. | | | Man’s calling is in terms of the Kingdom of God, and woman’s creation and calling is no less in terms of it. |

| | The story of creation according to Genesis is no exception. | | | However, to a child of God who believes in His omnipotent power, this would seem possible that the world could be created in one day or even a series of days, but not necessarily seven. | | | Seven is considered the holy number, therefore it would only make sense that the Lord created the earth in seven days. |
