Chapter VIII. Creation And Formation

In writing this chapter, we seek to answer the questions of skeptics and infidels, in regard to the creation, where Cain got his wife, the reason for the flood, the base conception of purgatory, the second chance theorists and universal Salvationists.

Long ago the theory that the seven days of creation were of twenty-four hours duration began to lose its force upon the minds of people, and today is found only in narrow intellects with a moss-covered growth. The sun, moon and stars, which govern man’s computation of time, did not exist until after the fourth day. These were God’s days, reckoned from the standpoint of eternity, computed by the Mind which governs the same, with whom “a day is as a thousand years and a thousand years as a day.” (2 Peter 3:8.) The Jewish Talmud declares: "A day of God is a thousand years.” The day of creation spoken of in Genesis 2-4 is not a twenty-four hour day, but is used as we refer to the day of Washington, day of Napoleon, meaning a period, so this in Genesis refers to the period of creation.

During the first day, (age or thousand years), the Bible and science beautifully agree. The earth was without form and void, and “darkness was upon the face of the deep.” The spirit of God moved upon this nebulous mass. When He said: “Let there be light and there was light.”

During the second day, (age or thousand years), God separated the waters from the fast evolving earth, thus forming rings around the earth, as they exist around the planet Saturn. The flood being the result of these contracting rings, drawn to the earth by the power of gravitation.

In the third day (age or thousand years), the waters remaining on the earth, were gathered into seas. There being no sun, the earth brought forth a gigantic fungus growth. The Bible description declares this to have the appearance of trees and grass. This is proved not only by scientific lore, but by the literal Hebrew translation which declares it was tender grass. The seed of the tree was in itself evidencing a mushroom growth. This vegetation producing phosphorous, the world would be illuminated to some extent.

The fourth day, (age or thousand years). Through this age the power of God controlling planetary systems, the force of other planets penetrated the vaporous masses surrounding this earth, dividing the day from the night, to be for signs, for seasons, for days, and for years. During this age nebulous masses throughout the universe blazed forth burning themselves into permanent stars.

In the fifth day, (age or thousand years), God spake into existence the living creatures of sea and air, and the law governing their propagation. Through the effect of the sun, vegetation had gradually changed until the birds of the air revelled in the delights of gigantic forests or boundless meadows most luxuriantly carpeted, thus preparing the earth for the animal life of the sixth day.

During the sixth day, (age or thousand years), a most marvelous creation of animal life was produced.
