How to Interpret Genesis One According to the Big Bang Theory
Before we start in, why should we WANT to do such a thing?
Because the Big Bang Theory (BBT) is the result of scientists reading the data encrypted in the light of the most distant stars.
In other words, the BBT is the "declaration" of the heavens.to mankind.
And we know that that declaration is to the "Glory of God," for
"The heavens declare the glory of God," (Psalms 19.1-4) !!
LSS: the BBT is to the glory of God.
And Paul the Apostle clearly says, "do all to the glory of God"(1 Corinthians 10.31).
In short, we should accept/embrace the BBT.
Why, because it gives glory to God.
Now, we are finally ready to deal with the question at hand.
How to interpret Genesis One by the BBT ??
According to the BBT (in its extended form) planet Earth came into existence around the same time that the sun and the other planets.
The solar system came into being as a package.
So, since the sun and moon come into existence in Day 4, that is also when Earth came to exist.
So Earth in Day 1 has to be taken nonliterally.
So when it says in Day 1 that "the Earth was formless and void," we are to carry this out to the "nth" degree.
In short, formlessness, voidness = absence.
The Earth was not present.
Day 1 is a picture of the nothingness before Creation began.
We read that Creation was preceded by God's creative command:
"By the Word of the LORD were the heavens made.
He commanded and it stood fast.."(Psalms 33.6-9).
God's first creative command is given in Genesis One, verse 3, "Let there be Light !!"
This means that the creation of the Universe began with the creating of light !!
But infra-red radiation is included in the spectrum of light.
So when God created the Big Bang with its TRILLIONS of degrees of just heat, THAT was the fulfillment of Genesis 1.3:
"Let there be light, and there was light !!"
Heat waves count as light waves, I'm saying.
Yes, the Big Bang is actually described in Genesis One, verse 3 !!!
Day 2, how to interpret it by the BBT?? The "separation of the waters from the waters" means what??
The "first waters" refers back to the figurative "waters" before the Big Bang took place.
Namely, the Void before Creation began.
Whereas the "second waters" refer to created space.
Space is different from the Void, for it has mass and curvature.
(Plus all space contains hydrogen, a part of water, H2O.
So calling space "water" isn't unjustified.)
What is it that "separates" the space within the Universe from the uncreated Void outside it??
Obviously the outer edge of that Universe, which was expanding at a super rate.
The Hebrew word for the outer edge is raqia, translated as EXPANSE in the N.I.V.
Yes, Moses nailed it.
EXPANSE captures the essense of what the Universe was doing right after the Big Bang.
Day 3, how to interpret it by the BBT ??
Superficially it deals with the "receding of the waters," which allows the "dry land to appear" for the first time.
But what land formation is hinted at here?
Islands of course. ISLANDS !!!
Its extremely important to focus on that point.
For what are galaxies, if not "islands in the seas of space"?
Yes, Day 3 is about galaxy formation, if you are willing to take it metaphorically.
What's nice is that THAT is what follows the super-inflation of the just-born Universe.
Galaxy formation appears in Genesis One at just the right time.
Why is that? Because it was divinely inspired to fit the BBT !!
Day 4, "the sun, moon and stars" can be taken as sun, moon and planets (including planet Earth).
For planets in ancient times were called "wandering stars" which became shortened to just "wanderers," the Greek for which term is planetes.
I'm saying that the term planet is shorthand for wandering STARS.
Day 5 - no need to take things metaphorically.
The creating of fish and birds includes everything inbetween.
Namely amphibians, reptiles.
So "fish, birds" really means fish,amphibians, reptiles, birds.
Day 6 - "beasts of the field, creeping things, mankind" really is sequential.
The beasts would refer to mammals in general.
While "creeping things" would refer specifically to tree shrews, the ancestors of primates, culminating with the descendants of the primates - mankind.
PS: Paul the Apostle even quotes Psalms 19.1-4 in such a way as to imply that the "word" or data from the skies is equal to "the Word of Christ" (Romans 10.16-17).
He is raising the status of "General Revelation" to equality with the other revelation of God, namely "Special Revelation," namely the Bible.
The implication is that both revelations are needed, NOT just the Bible, if we want the truth.
PS: What do I mean when I say that the BBT gives glory to God??
The Universe is the greatest quantity, let's say.
And a nano-second is the shortest amount of time, let's say.
And an atom or sub-atomic particle is the smallest sized object, let's agree tentatively speaking.
Well, the BBT combines all three things together:(1)the Universe as an ulimate quantity;
(2) the nano-second as the smallest amount of time.
(3) the sub-atomic particle as the smallest object.
For the BBT claims that the whole SPRALLING universe that we have today came forth from an opening or conduit no larger than an atom in what amount of time?? INSTANTLY (no amount of time at all).
Not as matter, of course, but as infinite HEAT, emotion you might say.
Or even passion.
But my point is this:
It seems that God set the bar as high as it could be raised.
Think of the gravity of what I'm saying:
The largest quantity in the shortest time and from the smallest opening.
What more could God have done to make it hard on Him to deliver ???!!!
