Genesis chapters 1 and 2 have been a bit of a mystery in that they appear to be in conflict with one another. However, now that we understand DNA, these two chapters converge into one creation account that is logically and chronologically perfect.
Genesis 1 documents the order of creation. Genesis chapter 2, on the other hand, documents the order in which life was given to the creation: the activation.
Everything was created before the seventh day, but the plants had not been planted and neither animals nor man had been given the breath of life; they were dormant. The Bible is clear, God rested on the seventh day; if God had given man life on the sixth day, God could not have rested on the seventh; He wouldn’t abandon Adam nor would He want to miss Adam’s first day of life; but, after God rested, He formed Adam from the earth in accordance with the DNA created and selected on day 6; then, God gave Adam the breath of life and he, Adam, became a living soul.
This notion is further supported by the parable of the farmer who planted his field with good seed and then rested (Matthew 13:24). As the farmer rested, the seeds had not yet started growing, they were still dormant, still in seed form. This is the way it was on day 7 of creation; everything was created, ready for activation, but dormant. Then, in Genesis chapter 2, 
after God rested, He took the DNA created on day 6 and formed man, and breathed life into him. For those of you who study Hebrew, you will see that the word used in Genesis 1 is different from the one used in Genesis 2. The word used in Genesis 1 is “bara” having the sense of selecting, and in Genesis 2 the word “yatsar” has the sense of forming or squeezing into shape much like a potter forming his pot.
Here is some of the Genesis 2 account of the creation which shows that the materials were available, the plans were complete, and then came the activation in according to the Creators design and purpose. Please consider the following excerpts from Genesis 2:
Genesis 2:5 When no bush of the field was yet in the land and no small plant of the field had yet sprung up–for the LORD God had not caused it to rain on the land, and there was no man to work the ground,
Genesis 2:7 then the LORD God formed the man of dust from the ground and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life, and the man became a living creature.
Genesis 2:8 And the LORD God planted a garden in Eden, in the east, and there he put the man whom he had formed.
Genesis 2:9 And out of the ground the LORD God made to spring up every tree that is pleasant to the sight and good for food. The tree of life was in the midst of the garden, and the tree of the knowledge of good and evil.
Genesis 2:15 The LORD God took the man and put him in the garden of Eden to work it and keep it.
Genesis 2:19 Now out of the ground the LORD God had formed every beast of the field and every bird of the heavens and brought them to the man to see what he would call them. And whatever the man called every living creature, that was its name.
Genesis 2:20 The man gave names to all livestock and to the birds of the heavens and to every beast of the field. . (ESV)
So, Adam was given life first, then the plants, then the animals. It all makes sense.
This also explains Genesis 5:2 which has been a mystery until now:
Genesis 5:2 Male and female created he them; and blessed them, and called their name Adam, in the day when they were created. (KJV)
He created them male and female and called their name Adam. He called their name Adam. Adam embodied all human genetic variation. Your genes, my genes, everyone’s genes were in Adam. We were all created on day 6 and God called our name “Adam;” the name “Adam” means “man.” It goes on to say “in the day when they were created.” Again, the they is we. Our DNA was created on day six, but we were formed and given life in our mother’s womb.
Dear friends and children, know that the Bible is true and can be trusted. Genesis chapters one and two are logically and chronologically perfect.
Wonder-full. finally, the ackowledgement of Biblical Truth and Science. Our spirit (our inner-man) bears wittness to The Spirit of Truth (The Holy Spirit) (our known con-science)
Can you please reply to this question.. did God made day and light before making the sun and moon and were the plants created before sun and moon
Kirito,
Yes God did create light and plants before the sun. We wrote a blog on this: https://www.genesisandgenetics.org/2017/08/21/sun-and-vegetation/
thanks for that, may i chip in on the word LET. which our God and father used during creation. the word LET means; to permit, to allow. with these two definitions. i believe the sun. its like God had covered it and when he said LET they be light, the covering was removed. i believe that on all things which God used the word “LET”, Were already they and functioned before Adam ever walked on earth. between genesis chapter 1:1 and 2 is a period of ten thousands of years even in the millions of years. when you consider the terms which God use. the bible did not say that God created the sun, but rather God said let there be light. like i said earlier the word LET is not a creating word.
let1

What is the mean of let?
Lets without an apostrophe is the third-person singular form of the verb let, meaning “to allow or permit”: She lets the dog out every morning. Let’s with an apostrophe is a contraction of “let us,” which is used in all varieties of speech and writing to introduce a suggestion or request: Let us consider all the facts.
What type of word is let?

God created the heaven and the earth by a word and at a time. Earth became void when the angels were fallen. Then God corrected the things on the earth, sun, moon etc… one by one and after correcting God said”It was good”. These things were revealed to Moses in vision. Moses described like this….
YOU THINK SO? THE BIBLE DID NOT SAY SO, THAT IS SPECULATION.
Any ideas about our origins that is not directly given in the Bible is speculation. I like to speculate. Someday, in eternity, I, and you, will find out how well we have done. The Bible is of interest to me; I ponder it much of the day.
It is not speculation if u read the book of genesis…. it states clearly.
If God made man from dust means Adam was black
Thanks you
This is something hard to understand if we compare science with the Bible.
No…remember,God created HEAVENS not heaven..so this means the first heaven which is Atmospheric heaven is where this things stays…however,Sun and the moon stays at the 1st and the 2nd heaven which God created…but God alone sitting at the Heaven of Heavens….
yes, indeed God made day and light and the first light was the presence of Jesus that shine upon the night. John 1:5
Eva was not created only Adam was created, Eva was taken from Adam’ flesh. If she could be created separately, there should be no link of blood, bone and flesh inbeteeen.
Mazet, Can You Please Tell How Eve Was Taken From Adam, As How A Photocopy Is Taken Fron An Orignal Document Or Any other Way?
There’s Difference between form and create
The Genesis 1 account and Genesis 2 accounts were written by two different writers. Two different accounts of creation. According to the first account, birds and fishes were made out of water. In Ch2 birds and mammals were made out of dust. They are not the same
Can you pls show me in the bible the falling of angels and where God made corrections?
Isaiah 14:12-19
{14:12} How art thou fallen from heaven, O Lucifer, son of the morning! [how] art thou cut down to the ground, which didst weaken the nations! {14:13} For thou hast said in thine heart, I will ascend into heaven, I will exalt my throne above the stars of God: I will sit also upon the mount of the congregation, in the sides of the north: {14:14} I will ascend above the heights of the clouds; I will be like the most High. {14:15} Yet thou shalt be brought down to hell, to the sides of the pit. {14:16} They that see thee shall narrowly look upon thee, [and] consider thee, [saying, Is] this the man that made the earth to tremble, that did shake kingdoms; {14:17} [That] made the world as a wilderness, and destroyed the cities thereof; [that] opened not the house of his prisoners? {14:18} All the kings of the nations, [even] all of them, lie in glory, every one in his own house. {14:19} But thou art cast out of thy grave like an abominable branch, [and as] the raiment of those that are slain, thrust through with a sword, that go down to the stones of the pit; as a carcase trodden under feet.
Lucifer at the time he ruled the earth was a perfect angel. Please understand. There look at God and became Jealous of God. JEALOUS is the first sin ever recorded in the Bible.
Luke 10:18 {10:18} And he said unto them, I beheld Satan as lightning fall from heaven. {10:19} Behold, I give unto you power to tread on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy: and nothing shall by any means hurt you.
Jesus said that I saw Satan fail from Heaven like lightering. When did Jesus see Satan failing like lightering? In Genesis 1 and between versus 1 and 2. According to Isaiah 14:12.
Ezekiel 28:12-19 12 Son of man, take up a lamentation upon the king of Tyrus, and say unto him, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Thou sealest up the sum, full of wisdom, and perfect in beauty. 13 Thou hast been in Eden the garden of God; every precious stone was thy covering, the sardius, topaz, and the diamond, the beryl, the onyx, and the jasper, the sapphire, the emerald, and the carbuncle, and gold: the workmanship of thy tabrets and of thy pipes was prepared in thee in the day that thou wast created. 14 Thou art the anointed cherub
– 4 –
that covereth; and I have set thee so: thou wast upon the holy mountain of God; thou hast walked up and down in the midst of the stones of fire. 15 Thou wast perfect in thy ways from the day that thou wast created, till iniquity was found in thee. 16 By the multitude of thy merchandise they have filled the midst of thee with violence, and thou hast sinned: therefore I will cast thee as profane out of the mountain of God: and I will destroy thee, O covering cherub, from the midst of the stones of fire. 17 Thine heart was lifted up because of thy beauty, thou hast corrupted thy wisdom by reason of thy brightness: I will cast thee to the ground, I will lay thee before kings, that they may behold thee. 18 Thou hast defiled thy sanctuaries by the multitude of thine iniquities, by the iniquity of thy traffick; therefore will I bring forth a fire from the midst of thee, it shall devour thee, and I will bring thee to ashes upon the earth in the sight of all them that behold thee. 19 All they that know thee among the people shall be astonished at thee: thou shalt be a terror, and never shalt thou be any more.
In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth, and the earth was void and darkness was upon the earth and the spirit of the Lord walks upon the surface of the water and God said let there be light and there was light. And God separated the light from the darkness, and he called the light day and the darkness night. from. This bible verse you will clearly see that the light here which is separated from the darkness is the sun, the sun was created before the plants, animal and even man. with this in mind God was setting an example for man telling us that we can only excell when we make haste when there is yet light
thanks for that, may i chip in on the word LET. which our God and father used during creation. the word LET means; to permit, to allow. with these two definitions. i believe the sun. its like God had covered it and when he said LET they be light, the covering was removed. i believe that on all things which God used the word “LET”, Were already they and functioned before Adam ever walked on earth. between genesis charpter 1:1 and 2 is a period of ten thousands of years. when you consider the terms which God use.
Let there be light, as it says it was to seperate day and night. It was the light of the sun, only the light itself, without the shape of the sun, that came later when it was created.So in other words the sun was created to contain the light. Thats how i see it.
Where did Kain gets his wife from
They had sisters who are not mentioned in the bible.
I read in the lost books of Genesis that Cain married her sister,who was Abel’s twin, I stand to be corrected though.
Correct

Sorry, but are you saying that God created the DNA of Adam and Eve (thought you had wrote in “Eve’s DNA” that Eve’s DNA was from Adam’s rib)…
Gen 1:27 So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them.
And then, He blessed “them” and commanded Adam’s lifeless DNA to replenish the Earth…
Gen 1:28 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.
And He had given herb and fruits for “them” — the dormant DNA of Adam — to eat…
Gen 1:29 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 the which is the fruit of a tree yielding seed; to you it shall be for meat.
Just as He had given herb to the birds and insects.
Gen 1:30 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.
And ALL these happened on the SIXTH Day (before God had rested) not after, as this article states.
Gen 1:31 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.
I guess you did not understand the article. Day six was the creation of man. After God’s rest man was given a soul and activated. This is a common design and construction method. I am a designer of airplanes, and this is how it works. You design, you gather materials, you assemble it, and, then finally, you activate it.

I don’t think that’s the case. Try to revisit chapter 1 and 2. These are very important chapters of Genesis. God created man and woman in chapter 1 and he commanded them to multiply and have dominion over animals and plants. In chapter 2 God created Adam and Eve to be gardeners and zoo keepers. Don’t you realize that there are two separate scenarios?
Ruel,
Honestly, I don’t. In chapter 1, God was speaking into their DNA; in chapters 2 and 3, God is speaking to their person which was alive and activated.

Amazing Truth of GOD revealed!
Thank you for this research… please continue this good work for the glory of Almighty
Amazing to know the truth, that God tells us by His Words. Please continue everything that were still mysteries for me. God bless you for what you have done. Thank you.
Hi
Could you please explain the passage in Genesis, “Let us create man in our own image”. To me this depicts, plural. So either more than 1 God, or male & female within one God entity.
Hi,
Since I am a Christian, I believe the “us” refers to the Father, Son, and the Holy Spirit. However, I am sure many will disagree. I think one thing we can agree on is that it is “Elohim” who makes this statement and He is powerful enough so that describing Him with a pronoun is beyond the capability of any human language.
James
What you believe is totally unimportant and extremely irrelevant. Only facts count. The “Father, son & Holy spirit” that you talk about is a manmade construct i.e the trinity.
I have been appointed by God as a Bible teacher, it is a very large responsibility. However, I try to lead believers to find the truth for themselves and not rely on me or any other teacher. You have evidently achieved that, but you may want to work on your patience and kindness a little, it is important.
I want to know whether there is practical or scientific evidence of existence of God. Or it is only our assumtion. The answers you are providing are not sufficient.
Dear masum hydar raja,
I believe there is evidence of God’s existence everywhere; for instance, DNA, the code of life. DNA is a language of four letters that orchestrates all life. The Bible says that all things were spoken into existence by God’s word, and we have that evidence very clearly in DNA.
Also, the existence of one single hydrogen atom is proof of a divine creator. Think about it, the existence of anything is proof of God.
This is the age of faith and God has chosen to provide us with a way of rejecting Him. This is His nature; He wants to be truly loved for His attributes and not His benefits.
Thank you for your question.
As far as the TRINITY yes that is man made, the Catholic Religion was born from that beleif. Peter (apostle) the first Pope if you will, taught the real truth… Jesus is GOD manifested in flesh…. He has a dual nature…. I love your posts, DNA ect info… I think what your teaching is nothing to do with Trinity….
Its worthy to note that in the Book of Acts it clearly tells us, the plan of salvation. Baptism in JESUS NAME, and being Filled with the EVIDENCE of Tongues… Acts 2:38 I know you study DNA and Genesis, take a few moments and read ACTS… you will be amazed… thank you for your work! I love it.
in above article, Gen 1 is different in Gen 2 creations. God is all powerful, eternal, alpha and omega that creating lower than him (all creation)he commands his power to create, the WORD, so in all-creations, the WORD is the father-of-all-creations.
gen-1: god created all spirits of angels, plants, animals etc., including an angel “man” in dual nature or male and female DNA codes as you wish in the spirit-earth or first earth.so its not unusual that God is talking “US” to his spirit-word-creator, creating the most beautiful angel in his image and above all archangels (Gabri-el, Mika-el, Uri-el, Japha-el) which is SATANA-EL, created in his image and likenes (a spirit and everlasting)
gen-2: am sorry but God “formed” not create ADAM from dust of created earth,also in dual nature of male and female, but also a lower than angels but not God’s image of everlasting, placed in created heavenly-garden, east of created heavenly-paradise. we see, Eve was created out-of-
adam’s ribs or the female part of him, God’s did not breath life for that fenale woman came from adam who has life-a living soul. he said, the earth is void of plants, birds and animals, so it is the second earth what God said in Gen-1 is different from Gen. 2, adam and eve is in Gen-2 not in Gen-1. you destroy God’s word-power of creations when you say Gen-1 is the same as Gen-2 making God-word repeating his “creations”
God will not placed a tree of knowledge of good and evil in the garden’s center only side by side with tree of life only to forbid its eating and prevents the other after eating, its time to “cleanse” God from the untruth and misunderstanding or created lies by man otherwise all events good and evil comes from god and man after becoming evil God came to save if we explain that way and not search for truth the bible is a great play-script of God playing in his own script, the hero and a villain, Good as he is also the evil, even man he came into his life to save, to sin again and to punish the-flood-sodom-jesus now humans are the same evil, so humans created god and adore their creations, have the power to explain god in the pedestal of heaven or a circus man walking on strings. the title? “the show of a dualistic God”, half goood half evil
your statements or should I say ideology is complicated, difficult to grasp. please can you break it down. thanks
Good work done
You are just crazy
Arthur ,
I’m pretty sure you and I are reading different books. Or at least with different conceptuality .
I read the Holy Bible and it certainly explains many of the questions and confusions you have exhibited. The most important thing in translating into our understanding is the realization that God has great love for all of us. Good and Bad folks. So much so that he sends his Son Jesus (who is Himself that very God) to provide rescue for mankind who have fallen from perfection and can’t get up without His help.
It is important when you read the Holy Bible that you not argue with it. It is a small slice of God’s knowledge thru which He graciously allows us a glimpse
of what He and His creation is all about. For those of us who wish to revel in His love we will soon see much more . For those who choose other He can do nothing as those will not accept His love and protection.
Our contact with evil is a product of God allowing us the free will to to return His love ….. or not to. When we do not return God’s love we place ourselves out side of his protection and thus become an easy target for the evil one , generally known as satan , who also rejected God.
The Trinity is an attempt to show us , mostly blind , mortals the complexity of God. Sometimes remembering that water can take 3 shapes helps. Ice , liquid and steam are all water , all the same element just in different times and locations.
Yes some of these descriptions , trifold God , may in our human conception have come from previous concepts but also please remember why Jesus taught in parables . He did so simply so that He could explain things to people who could not understand some of the very complex entity we sometimes call YHWH.
Have faith in the Holy Bible. Forget what everybody else has said to you and commune yourself directly with God/Jesus/Holy Spirit. There was a reason God previously didn’t want his name mentioned as H knew we would fight over it in our imperfections.
God Bless you Arthur , May God enlighten you and bring you the peace that surpasses all understanding. That is His wish for all of us.
But the son was not born yet?
Jesus was not born “in the flesh” at the time of creation, but He existed in His Glory and assisted in the Creation.
After Abel’s death God told kain that where ever you go people you find there shall be tough on you. Who were those people?
God is talkingto his son jesus.he was the first creation of god thats why god called him the only begoten son .He was in heaven before the time the god sent him down to earth thru Marry by the hollyspirit of god.He was tranfer to Marry woumb.,then he was name jesus.
Stop contradicting yourself, jesus was not in the picture of the first creation.
Yes , He was.
Jesus is God.
Jesus is the Word .
All things were created thru Him .
John Chapter 1 might help .
A triangle has 3 sides.
YHWH-JESUS-HOLY SPIRIT
The bible only foretold this ” let us create man in our own image” God at that point was talking to some people and to my best of understanding i realized God was talking to angels. because before creation they existed and creation was made before their eyes. Jesus christ is a typically example. the scriptures say that before creation he existed
Yes I will disagree. The US, reffered to are the father and the son, the spirit is not a third entity. You do god a serious diservice pushing this false doctrine.
While there can be no absolute proof, the gap that seems to exsist between gen 1 and gen 1,2 ix that God is outside of time, and is not subject to it, the days of creation were not days as we know them, gods creative day could be, and probably was eons in length, so when god created male and female, he did just that. We call them neanderthal now, these people were not the spiritual aware creatures that Adam and Eve were. The day they were created and the next day could and was eons in length, I struggle with it being millions or billions of years, but it certainly was not 24 hrs.
Hi I think you are also treating God in a religious perspective, God was before RELIGIOUS came into being, so the US is referring to Father and Mother not the son, the son is a son and will never be in the Father’s Position since creation can only happen between a Father and Mother, the son comes from the Father and Mother, not other way around. So God was speaking to his wife Hence the son and angels were created by them. But religion removed the mother and was replaced by the son which that removes females as an image of God.
When the father said let us create man in our own image he already answering your question but yet so many douth come on somebody before I form u in your mothers whom I knew u thank u father let us ain’t that something we all have had the pleasure of his presents .the father is everything that we can ever want to be thank u lord
God is the totality of The FATHER, THE SON AND THE HOLY SPIRIT, So God was refereing to the Holy Trinity
It reflects that the Son and the Holy Spirit were with the Father from the beginning. God is a triune God– one God in 3 persons…also known as the Holy Trinity.
let us create man inour own image.
“us and our” here refers to God the Son, theFather and the Holy Spirit
Describing and asking questions as to what is is useless. He who is only told Moses when he asked this question, “I am”.
you see dear admin, that you were bombarded by many-differing questions that needs differing replies, you admit you are a trinitarian, but a triune-God cannot solve (you also admit) my-thousands of bible questions (we)temporarily placed to “mysteries” but try to remove for a while trinitarian and replace it with ONE GOD,that is God in the OT, in the NT, came as CHRIST in the lamb/body, gave his name Jesus, to save, promised to bring after ascension the “comporter or paraclet or fosterparent” he identified from the holy spirit of/from the father ending/identifying its him again by this words: “do not be worry, I will come to you” so the father-comporter-holyspirit in jesus name is God’s 2nd coming with another role/mission on earth to help humans expose the truh between lies. if he/jesus again (as preachers admits)is the one coming in the book of revelations, is not jesus’ second, but 3rd coming, then the prophecy fulfilled that the one born of mary is the emmanuel “God with us” and the “everlasting father”
its not our beleif, but the truth, that God is ONE GOD in 3-stages of man on earth we find no single bible verse contradictions this space cannot accommodate to give you proof but to continue replying
proof/question: if jesus is a son God is father what is the personality of the holy spirit?
if jesus is a son who is his father? God or holy spirit (angel said to mary it was holy spirti who created him in her womb)
if jesus not the father is he a liar saying “before abraham I am”, “your father Moses walk with me and he wrote me” “I am the root and offspring of david”, I and the father are ONE”, “you call me good, no one is good but the father”
corrections: you call me good, no one is good but the father” but he said also, “i am the good shepherd”
Jesus is God from his mouth, from the mouth of the Godfather, from the mouth of his apostle read these:
jesus mouth: “begone satan, do not temp the name of the lord your GOD”
God’s mouth in Hebrew 1:8, ” and God said, “and unto the son he said, your throne oh God is forever and ever”
Thomas mouth: “my Lord and my God”
John’s mouth: the word is God, the word became flesh” Rev.: the one coming on the throne,with vested drift in blood, the alpha and omega
bible OT’s mouth: the child will be born is the everlasting father
prophet’s mouth: he will come and john is his messenger-heralder
john d babtist mouth: repent for the kingdom of heaven is at hand
Devil’s mouth on pigs” we know you are the christ of God”
Dear Arthur,
Those scriptures John 10:11 and Luke 18:19 are classic Jesus and many miss the actual meaning. First of all Jesus didn’t say He was not good. He asked the question “why do you call me good?” in other words “have you discovered that I am God?” Then He summarized the entirety of Christianity when He said “No one is good except God” (the Greek word being theos). Everything he said was profound. He had to do this in order to not only get out the truth, but also protect His identity until the time was right. He was good with words because He was the Word.
I think according to the Bible Jesus was not God.
If Jesus was God then he wouldn’t be referred to as my Son during his baptism. And also when he was about to die when he cried to the father, and also when he cried for the cup to passaway from him. And many more quotes! ….in my father’s house…. those who does the will of my father!
Is the son of a human a human? The scriptures say that Jesus was the son of man and that He was the son of God. Jesus called Himself the son of man and admitted He was also the son of God. Someday this will all be very clear to us, but now we must take it by faith.
Thank you for your very valuable comment.

I believe all Religious beliefs are humankinds not inspired by God at all.
God to me is existence itself in all its forms and possibilities. Eternal.
God doesn’t create God is all that exists that appears to manifest itself in anyones mind.
God doesnt manipulate, control, expect or qualify behavoir. Humankind does that to try to bring some kind of order to life.
The concept of free will works because it proves God doesnt demand or control our actions.
All creation changes daily though it may appear to. Everything that appears to be real will eventually no longer appear as it once did and no longer be described the same.
That goes for sentient, non sentient and material elements.
All the stories created are conjectered to try to bring meaning and understanding to our lives.
To help us supposedly live happy lives with many blessings. To create harmony not discord.
Unfortunately that is not what we see in life.
Thats because our beliefs and actions don’t work.
It’s time to understand that it is our choices and actions as we try to deal with the physical World that causes all our difficulties. Non of which God has created for us to choose to do.
God can never punish you for anything you do because what you do is allowed.
Heaven and hell a creation of humankind to try and get people to do the righteous things all the time. Never has worked.
They teach you to fear God. How can you fear the only one that you know loves you and only wants the best for you and everyone else.
Religious people show how hypocritical they are both in their beliefs in actions.
It’s time you quit lying to yourselves and others.
The Bible and Torah constantly speaks of false Prophets, Hypocrites and false teachers.
you may refer these knowledge to a muslim scholar. i agree to a certain point in your explanation about DNA. study islam, all these topics are well explained in Tafseer. like how we are created, who laid who among the children of adam and eve. two females were born after abel and cain etc., the conception of jesus and mary as his mother. you will find lots of links to this topics. good luck my friend.
Muslims are told to consult the Bible to have salvation and better understanding of God, are you now saying we should go to them? Hmmmm. That will be totally wrong
Great connections between Genesis and DNA genetics, thank you!
However, I have trouble reconciling your idea that chapter two is chronologically separate from chapter one, rather than the widely held concept that it is a re-capitulation in personal detail. Otherwise, how can Gen.1:26-31 include instructions to Adam and his wife if they weren’t alive yet?
I’ve heard another synthesis from answersingenesis.org that Adam named the mentioned animals, then his wife was made from his rib and brought to him, all on day six, in time to receive the instructions in strict chonology, then chapter two replays personal details – using God’s personal name to establish the relationship He is forming with them.
Mark,
Thank you for your question. This is very important: we believe that the problem with the decline of the church is due to this issue. Our seminaries are liberal and watered down because Genesis 1 and 2 have been deemed unreliable. So, please pray that God will give you truth on this. He has sent the Holy Spirit to “teach us all things” (John 14:26).
Please allow us to give you our thoughts:
1. The chapter divisions have been added by man. So, read the transition between the two chapters and consider it to be logical and chronological.
2. If all of these things happened on day six, it would be way too hectic: forming Adam, naming the thousands of kinds of animals, operating on Adam, having operation recovery time, meeting and greeting Eve, etc.
3. It is hard to believe that God would do all this and abandon the creation the very next day to rest.
4. We liken Genesis 1:26 to the christening of a ship. It is blessed and commissioned before it is activated. We further believe that we, you and we at Genesis and Genetics, were included in Genesis 1:26.
5. Genesis 1 says that the beasts were created first, then man. Genesis 2, states that the man was formed first, then the beasts were formed. This is a serious difference unless you accept the difference between creation and activation.
6. Also, take a look at the Hebrew. You will see that in chapter 1 the words for create have the sense of selection and choosing while in chapter 2 the word for create means form, or molding into a form.
Thanks again for the question; we respect all ideas and everyone’s personal quest for the truth.

ANOTHER ENCOUNTER & REVELATIONAL KNOWLEDGE.I WILL BE INTERESTINT TO HEAR MORE …UNIT
Y OTUBO
greetings
have just read the findings of the research on genesis 1&2 and I really find it so fascinating that man has always tried to possibly explain what God meant by saying this and that…does it mean God could say things knowing that meaning would be hidden to the general laymen? If the bible at some point provides ambiguity then the illiterate entirely depends on the scriptural interpretations by the literate. is that fair to humanity ,getting second hand information?wouldnt an omniscient God be clear and precise for all humanity to understand Him? to me the two chapters appear as two presentations one by a less enlightened geographer and the other by a well versed scholar trying to compensate the former. moreover m still unable to understand why genesis 1;1 did not appear as “In the beginning I created heaven and earth whilst dwelling in some place out there. the impression derived from the verse is that the narator tells a story about creation. the concept of God is introduced to readers and we are left with the question of who God is which and other things are explained later in the course why? God is God of perfection and order. He knows all and is well organised but the presentations about Him leaves a lot to be desired. Humanity has to accept one thing for a fact…we need to revisit the biblical facts and make the contents relevant with the current times where humanity is achieving intellectual growth through education which enables them to critically analyse data so to detect facts and illogic descrepencies in information. otherwise we will always have to defend God when the world enquire about the biblical discrepencies. indeed we have them and need to correct them before our Christian religion is casted out as void.
thanks
Petros,
Your insights and questions are well taken; we have wrestled with these points for many years. The following is my conclusion which I will backup with scripture. Here we go:
The Bible is the Bible and what we think should be in it does not matter; this is the Word of God; His ways are way above our ways.
Concerning the hidden truths, yes they are hidden for some. There are several reasons that scriptures are hidden:
(1) the time is not right
Colossians 1:26
that is, the mystery which has been hidden from the past ages and generations, but has now been manifested to His saints,
(2) They are spiritually discerned (this makes the scriptures independent of intellect or education)
1 Corinthians 2:10
For to us God revealed them through the Spirit; for the Spirit searches all things, even the depths of God.
(3) There are some people that he does not want to understand the scriptures’
Matthew 13:11
He replied, “You are permitted to understand the secrets of the Kingdom of Heaven, but others are not.
(4) Only His lambs recognize His voice
John 10:27
My sheep listen to my voice; I know them, and they follow me.
(5) He wants us to seek so we can find
Matthew 7:7
Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you.
In conclusion, I have decided that I like the way He wrote the Bible; I have no criticism.
Thank you for this very good question.
We can both keep seeking together.

What lessons do we learn from Genesis chapter 1-3
Genesis chapters 1-3 are very important. They give us a history of how we, the world, and the universe were created. They also show us how sin entered the world and how it affects the world including humanity. These chapters also introduce us to our enemy, evil. In addition, they provide us with the basics of all the sciences.
I love the scriptures and particularily Genesis 1-3.
Admin
I want to know where man were immediately after God’s creation in genesis 1 before he was formed in chapter 2
Sarki,
Your question is excellent! The Bible is clear, all things were created by the Word (John 1:1-3). It is also my opinion that DNA is one form of the Word. So, it seems reasonable that on day six of the creation man was still in the form of the Word, then in genesis chapter 2, the word became flesh as Adam was formed from the dust in accordance with the Word. Therefore, in my opinion, just before God took His rest on the seventh day, all was quiet and everything was readied to be activated after God’s rest.
One can liken this to someone who prepares a speech and when it is done, it is reviewed, approved, and ready to deliver. But it is silent until it is delivered. When the speech is delivered, it is activated and accomplishes that which was intended.
Thank you for this great question.
Admin
God bless you for this write up.
this is awesome it helped me understand that what we carry is the life of God and we can only grow, flourish and bear fruits if we remain connected to him. for Jesus said He is the vine and we are the branches in other words we carry part of God’s life which needs spiritual food to live from God
Jesus is the deity his teaching was in parable.
Phillip asked Jesus to show his father, but Jesus said l and the father are one.
Hi Admin. You are so great an Admin ,I appreciate your responses to every question posted. And your point on liking the Bible just the way it is. Thinking of revisiting the Bible will do more harm than good cuz all will want to put what best suit his understanding which will again wuest for another revisiting . Best it’s for us to seek God in his mysteries for only those who are deligent in knowing God will rightfully seek him ,if not we will all tend to create or have a man who will be the concrotor of holy things which will be wrong. Let’s take God the way he is from our different points of knowing him and it’s only this that keeps him as God.
Once more I appreciate
I need clarification please!!
God told Adam to multiply and full the world.Adam and Even gave birth to Cane and Abel consequently Cane killed Abel and was sent out of the land.The Bible said that Cane was sent in the land of wanders and while he was wandering he then found a beautiful lady and marry……then who was that beautiful lady?and who where the parents of the girl?
Cain married his sister. Here is our blog giving the details https://www.genesisandgenetics.org/2014/02/11/194/
The book can not contain everything that happen ,all is about the holy spirit when I tell everyone to write his story from the day he was born u can’t and even if u can no book can contain it ,when the holy spirit comes upon you u will understand it .Thank you .
Ok guys I don’t read all the comments but I read few of them its about Trinity. Some of you said that Trinity is the idea of some religious but I disagree. John 1:1 it explain about the word and how the word was with God and by this word everything was made and look back at Jenesis how God created everything by His word. I am no expert in Bible but just sharing my thoughts. If it not wrong then please correct me, i am glad. God bless you all
Hi there, the word is God, it defines who He is. Its not only about creation. The word is life itself. God is life. It’s the nature the substance of God, life and truth. Thats why by applying scripture into your life is the most powerfull tool you have. Confess it over your life, use in prayers and especially against satan and his demons when they attack you. Quoting scripture when the enemy attacks you, they have no choice as to obey. When the word became flesh, it was his only begotten son Jesus, and not God as Jesus. Jesus is excately like his Father, meaning they have the same nature, the living word. Nothing can be equal to God, because he is the creator, and Jesus is His only son. Jesus is our high priest and sits on Gods right hand side. There is no trinity, a all in one deity. They are like God, but not God. Cut from the same cloth.
I mean if it wrong
My point,,,God was breathing from the deep of the water, that neans the breath is refered to holly spirit which means is not a human being while God and his son are human being so there is no trinity here but duality meaning to say two persons
Am just building my own spiritual life so I wanna know what Genesis I mean each chapter is all about thank hope to hear from the admin soon
Genesis is a wonderful place to start your spiritual life. The best way to study Genesis, in my opinion, is to read it using the Holy Spirit as your guide. His job is to teach you “all things.”

Admin
Am touch and I would love to learn
But the issue is in spite of all my spiritual exercise, the Holy Spirit has never spoken to me which does not evidence the claims by other Christians of the Spirit speaking to them. So how am I suppose to believe?
Sanni,
Do not expect the spectacular. Remember, God honors faith, and that is how you should approach this issue.
If you are a Christian, the Holy Spirit dwells in you.
Here is my experience: I read the Bible by faith which means I read it whether I understand it or not. Every once in a while, a scripture leaps out at me and I know that is the Holy Spirit talking to me. This is the Holy Spirit doing His job in revealing the scriptures to me as I need them.
I have a prayer book dating back to 1974 where I write all my petitions to God. I ask questions such as what to do in a certain situation. He answers these questions in many different ways. For instance, I may ask Him how to fix my car, and He may raise someone up to tell me how.
In general, my advice is this: (1.) don’t look for the spectacular; it can be counterproductive. (2) live by faith and be faithful. (3) Spend time with God and His word.
James
Hello, I was about to be agree with your statement about Chronology in Genesis 1&2
But the only worry is that this statement can distort the Bible (creation in chap 1& activation in chap 2)
I read that creation truly occurred fully in chap 1 though the author rerecorded in details about its process in chap 2
Fully creation e.g. CH 1:29 they are given what had been created previously
Ch 2:4 this is the way God created things, while creation.
You may be right, but I designed airplanes for 25 years and to me, chapter 1 is the design and gathering of materials and chapter 2 is the formation and activation. I could, of course, be wrong. If it troubles you, ask the Holy Spirit to reveal the truth to you; it is His job.
Thank you for your interest in the things of God,
Admin
Please can you tell me why the garden of Eden was created
I am not sure, but everyone loves gardens. I suspect that God created it so Adam and Eve had a nice place to walk and a nice place to live. Really, it was paradise.
wow really amazing.
please I need More evidences on creationism. I will be having presentation tomorrow morning ‘in defense of creationism “

Dear Admin,
Genesis 1:20 : living nephesh נֶפֶשׁ (soul creature?)
Genesis 2:11 : living nephesh נֶפֶשׁ
It looks there have already been “Activation” in Chapter 1 as above.
Could you please let me know your thought about it?
Thanks.
Joshua,
This is a great question. The word nephesh means soul, or some would say sentience. When God breathed life into Adam, Adam became a living soul. I maintain that on day 6 of creation, Adam became a soul, but not yet living, not yet activated. This would also be true for, at least some, of the animals. I live on a farm and it would be difficult to convince me that animals do not have sentience.
Thank you for caring about the things of God.
Admin
Thanks for your quick response. As you mentioned, ” When God breathed life into Adam, Adam became a living soul.” “living”, that is, activated? Isn’t it?
Thanks,
Joshua
Your genetic study is really amazing to me. It is a really excellent job.
My understanding for Genesis Ch. 1 and 2 is as follows though:
Since Jesus (Yeshua) referred to both Genesis Ch. 1 and 2 (Mat 19:4), both must be true, I believe. Not always but In general, detailed one (Ch. 2) is more accurate than less detailed one (Ch. 1). According to Ch 2, the first human being was created before Ch 1 verse 11 (Plant creation). Eve (2nd human being) was created Ch. 1 verse 26 (Ch. 2 verse 22). This does not mean Ch. 1 is incorrect. In Ch 1, the human being creation was mentioned in one place (verse 26) for some reason instead of spreading out in different places (verses). This my understanding was from the Spirit of God long time ago, I think. I do not mean I am 100 % right though since sometimes I was wrong. What do you think about my understanding? Thanks.
I subscribe to the “activation” concept. I have designed airplanes for a good portion of my life and the recipe in chapter 1 and 2 is how I would create all the living. The fowl, the insects, the fish all are a bit different and that is how they are treated in Genesis 1 and 2.
The day of rest is also an important clue. God rested on day 7.
Also, faith comes into play; if God gave us all the details of the creation, it would be overwhelming.
In summary, I do think that Genesis 1 and 2 are correct logically and chronologically; I wouldn’t change one word.
Admin
Dear Admin,
According to Ch. 2, it looks the first human being was created before Ch. 1 verse 11 (Plant creation). But Ch. 1 did not mention any human being creation clearly before verse 26. So I have changed my mind and abandoned my thought in my previous message. But the activation theory also does not make sense to me since everything has been living (activated) in Ch. 1. For example, birds could have not flown in Ch. 1 if they had not been activated.
Your genetic study to better understand Bible was, of course, wonderful though.
Dear Admin,
To let Ch. 1 be consistent with Ch. 2, Ch 2 (2:7 to 2:22) should be for only Ch.1 verse 27 period events from 1st human being to 2nd human being (Eve). That is, the creation of plants, beasts, birds, etc. in Ch. 2 needs to be 2nd creation (the specific additional creation) only in Eden garden areas (maybe surrounding areas as well). It looks Elohim had reserved the specific areas for the specific purpose. Therefore, the creation of plants, fish, beasts, birds, etc. in Ch 1 is the first creation totally different from the specific creation in Ch. 2 except the consistent human being creation. How do you think about this? Thanks.
The King James version gives us verse 1:20 in chapter one; it says “fowl that may fly” implying they are not flying yet. I truly wish I had a better understanding of Hebrew and why the word “may” was there, but unfortunately, I do not.
Also, it is possible that the fish or insects were, indeed, activated during the first 6 days, but I think not.
I do appreciate your input and you may be right. None of us understand these things completely. However, those who hate the Bible and God, use chapters 1 and 2 of Genesis in an attempt to discredit the Bible. I defend the Bible as it is. I spent 20-30 years trying to change the Bible, now I let it change me.
Keep up the good work,
Admin
New King James version is as follows:
“…let birds fly…”
וְעוֹף֙ ( wə·‘ō·wp̄ : and birds)
יְעוֹפֵ֣ף (yə·‘ō·w·p̄êp̄ : let fly)
עוּף (a’uf: fly)
KJV: “may” means “allow”, I believe. That is, “allow birds to fly ” . Birds have already been flying (activated) in chapter 1.
Joshua,
I think it could be taken either way, and it could be that the birds were flying in chapter 1. However, taking all things into account, I think everything was dormant before the day of rest. We just have a difference of opinion. Someday we will know, and we may all be wrong. But, we should seek and care about the things of God.
Keep up the good work and keep studying,
Admin
Reading the Book of Enoch, the one Jesus and some apostles quote from explains what happened in the beginning in more detail.
Genesis 1:26
-And God said,Let us make man in our own image…
Notice the plural form,who does God talk to when he says “us”?
I believe that God the almighty was speaking to his Angel’s, in his kingdom to make a lesser form of what they are… like the way in which we would say to a man or woman… let us have children…
The Earth is older than 6000 years, man did not walk with dinosaurs and Noah and his 3 sons did not create the population of the entire Earth in 4000 years after the flood. Use common sense you can’t take the bible literally Man wrote it and also manipulated it.
Jim,
You believe the secular model and that is fine with me, but I believe the Biblical model. I am a Christian and Christians believe the Bible to be the Word of God. I have found that the secular model is not valid, but the Bible is, indeed, true. I am not trying to convince you of anything, but I love to defend the scriptures. Take any creation topic and research it thoroughly (look at both sides) and you will see.
Admin
From the work of creation it make us understand that life is spiritual..
He made the heavens and the earth..
Meaning he wasn’t in any of them before the art of creation take place..
My question is where does God dwell before the creation of the heavens and earth??
After Abel’s death God told kain that wherever you go people u find there shall fight you. Who were those people?
Those people were his siblings, cousins, and his other relatives. Remember, Cain lived a long life, and the reproductive rate, in the beginning, was probably very high. Do a population study, and you will see that the population at the time of Cain’s death could have been millions, even billions.
The Bible says that Eve was the mother of all the living, and I believe that to be true.
Admin
God created man and woman on day 6 through a word just like heaven and earth and all other things that He created. He rested on the 7th day. He planted these people all over the world and instructed them to multiply. Adam was created long thereafter with the soil of the earth and put at the selected place on earth that He named Garden of Eden by then people were all over the world and already multiplying. So Adam is the special one but not the first in the world. Only two people are born different from others, Adam and Jesus
Lefa,
You have an interesting notion, but it conflicts with the Bible. The Bible says that Eve was the mother of all the living (Genesis 3:20). Also, Eve was formed from Adam’s rib. So, all the living came from Adam. DNA analysis is in agreement with the Bible. There are not two strains of human beings.
Thank you for sharing your ideas with us. Keep seeking.
