Recently I’ve been consuming content about how today’s science view the cosmos, which makes me think about the cosmos of Genesis 1 (from the Hebrew Bible) and how they follow a similar pattern of how everything started from wild and waste.
Then there was order and life.
From Genesis 1, here’s how life on earth began:
| DAY 1 | God orders the heavens. Light — divine glory Dark — disorder and chaos |
| DAY 2 | God commands the chaos waters to be split. God separates the waters above and the waters below. |
| DAY 3 | God orders the land. Land — refuge from God Waters — disorder and chaos |
| DAY 4 | God delegates heavenly rulers as symbols. They rule light and darkness and separates the calendar. |
| DAY 5 | God apportions the waters above and below to birds and fish. God also makes “sea-monster.” |
| DAY 6 | God delegates earthly rulers who are divine images of God. They rule the land and its wild creatures. |
| DAY 7 | The creation was complete: the skies, the land, and all of their hosts. |
