Genesis 1: make up your own mind

Its a very basic summary for beginners. The quote from Augustine may also misrepresent what he actually wrote about the shape of he earth. He did understand that Scripture taught globe earth but could not accept the existence of antipodes. 

Now as a Biblical creationist I read for the purpose of understanding. In an age of fanatical atheism and fanatical skepticism on the Bible, my duty is to explain the chapter and present the most honest and detailed explanation possible. This, of course, requires several years of serious research which I have put in. I'm an independent research scientist who has spent thousands of dollars of my own hard earned income to buy all study tools, ancient accounts, science books etc., etc.  When I was tasked with the investigation of flat earth claims, not only was I also to complete destroy flat earth on facebook, but I also largely contributed to Biblical creationism by discovering knowledge that had been lost for a few hundred years...lost in translation. It was this research that had me convinced that my understanding of Genesis Day 1 & 2 were flawed and had been flawed for many years. This enlightenment happened when I took to studying the views of the creation account from the first four centuries of the early church. I realized that their general understanding was superior to our modern understanding. I also could not figure out for over a year into this research how ancient Jews and Christians read globe earth from Day 1 of the account. It took me a while to grasp what the separation of day and night meant to the ancients. For them it was the rotation of the earth! I realized that their explanation was superior to our modern assumptions. But how did the earth go from shapeless and void in v.2 to a spinning globe in vs.4-5? Obviously something happened that gave the earth life and shape. When God called in the light He created the earth's core. This gave life and shape to the earth. The end of Day 1 ends with the earth's first full rotation as a planet. 

I don't believe the chapter can be adequately understood without the core interpretation of Genesis 1:3. I wholeheartedly believe that the acceptance of the core for v.3 solves the entire chapter. It explains (1) how God gave the earth life (2) how the earth became a moving sphere (3) how our soil became nutrient enriched (4) and why the sun was delayed until Day 4. You cannot answer any of that without the acceptance of the core interpretation. Genesis is just a cosmology. Its geology/geoscience at its best!

Only a few months after I wrote my initial commentary and released it on facebook, evolutionists were forced to change their view on when the earth's magnetic field began protecting the earth. Prior to writing my commentary, evolutionists in AAAS said the earth didn't have a strong magnetic field until 500 million years ago! But Genesis has the magnetic field at full power before the creation of the sun! This means that evolutionists slip their own throat by placing the sun before the earth since by doing so they killed all chance of the idea that life could evolve on earth. Months later, evolutionists quickly changed their position and, in a new AAAS article, vaguely said the magnetic field was strong from the start. But this was very loosely worded and desperately spoken. But I had been giving atheists on facebook the beat down about this issue, humiliating thousands of atheists...even to the point of pin drop silencing them! When you silence thousands of atheists you know you hit on something. How ironic that my expose of the weak early earth evolution forced AAAS to quickly write a new article to cover up their long held position that the magnetic field didn't protect the earth until 500 million years ago. Their error completely discarded evolution as a rational thought. Evolutionists killed the earth with their silly early earth mythology. But Genesis corrects the mistake and restores integrity to our true origins. 

Genesis chapter 1 tells us exactly what God is doing. Its just that most people don't understand ancient terminology. These ANE views are complete rubbish as well. They understand nothing. Genesis is not a culture. It was not written about a culture or for a culture. Genesis is universal truth. 

Here is the link that claims the magnetic field didn't become strong enough to protect the earth until only 500 million years ago according to the  evolutionist timeline.

This position was held for a very long time. However, this link is now out of date and a few months after I released my commentary and debated countless atheists, AAAS ideologically updated their position to hide their embarrassment. Fact is, evolutionists did change their position in the wake of the havoc I was causing them on facebook. You cannot have the sun before the earth or you destroy the earth. You must have a very strong magnetic field in order for life to live on earth. This includes water as well. Evolutionists were teaching that water and living forms of life were living on earth without a magnetic field protecting the planet. Anyone who knows anything about geoscience knows that neither water or living things can get a start on earth without a strong magnetic field. 

You want me to give you the names of each and every atheist I debated? Do you always ask unrealistic questions or are you too inexperienced to know that I don't write down peoples names? I ran one of the biggest creationist pages on facebook. Facebook shut it down because it was too much for atheists to handle since they were all very effortlessly refuted. 

Since everything else in the Bible can be demonstrably proven true, things like the Flood etc., the age of the earth is in Scripture is also true. But you trust the State more than God and bow your knee to corrupt scientists who never invented anything or contributed anything useful to science. You take the words of philosophers over that of real scientists. There is no scientific method capable of knowing the age of the earth. This is a matter of what you trust, who you trust. I trust God more than Democracks. Plus, the age of the earth in Scripture is more like 7,000 years if we use the right manuscripts like the LXX (Dead Sea Scrolls agree with LXX about all things involving numbers). Jesus rose from the dead in 3 days and you don't think God can create all things in 6?

Jesus is God....the word made flesh. Jesus said Genesis 1--11 is fact, bot fiction. So you call Jesus a liar when you reject Genesis as true history. 

Nope. Who dated them? How were they dated? Who went back in a time machine to check the accuracy of the date? Scientific method rejects the hollow thoughts of the philosopher and makes the philosopher's words and ideas obsolete. For deep time is also Greek philosophy as Theophilus of Antioch also pointed out. With deep time as an ancient philosophy the entire concept of deep time influenced the true integrity of scientific method. In order to date something back 10,000 years you have to have a scientists go back to that time in a time machine (which does not exist) to check the accuracy of the date. Scientific methods spits at all presumptuous thinking and seeks to prove knowledge that can be known only here in the present now. For indeed, everything we understand about the past is here in the present now. Therefore without a time machine dating anything much past 3,000 years is impossible. And even when dating something back 3,000 years you still have to have a core sample of something known of that time to check the dates with. 

Evolutionists and the dating game is just like being a vacuum cleaner salesmen. The Kirby salesman does his demonstration without the bag in his vacuum because he will get over twice the suction that way. But once the bag is placed into the Kirby the vacuum loses a noticeable about of suction power. So a person who just spent $2,000 on a Kirby could have bought a Hover that would have worked better. Therefore Kirby dating is a scheme....a sales pitch...by evolutionists who seek to draw your attention off the things of God and on to their Greek philosophy and the worship of the State.
