But the light period the heavens and the earth began to exist in took place prior to Genesis 1:2 according to the text.
What
exactly is a 'light period'? I think you are making up phrases that sound scientific to try to pigeon hole the bible statements into something that is tap dancing around what the original meaning actually was. Light period, light year. Kind of easy to see the attempt there.
Genesis 1:20 when God created a great fish.
Genesis 1:27 when God created mankind, male and female.
ICANT, I just quoted to you the verse specifically stating that 'In the beginning, god CREATED the heavens and the earth. The word 'created' is right there.
Here is the link I referenced which indicates this came from a King James Bible version:
Genesis 1 KJV - In the beginning God created the heaven - Bible Gateway
Did you by chance write your own bible or something? Because the versus you quote are totally inconsistent with any documentation I find on the internet regarding the Genesis myth.
You as most posters around here have a weird concept of what the Bible actually says. Everyone seems to be stuck on the concept that the YEC'S put forth.
Try reading the actual text.
See previous statement. I think my reading comprehension skills are just fine. The reason I can come to a specific conclusion regarding what I am reading is because I am not trying to re-invent what the text I am reading actually says in a vain attempt to try to correlate it with current scientific theory.
