Genesis 1:1-5

In this passage God creates the earth. Esther and I have had quite a bit of study on this the last few weeks. There's always the debate of was this a true day or a long long time. We've heard a lot of interesting perspectives on this verse. I think the one I like the most is that this verse was from the perspective of an observer on earth, namely the Spirit of God hovering over the waters. So the light had been there a long time but the atmosphere cleared up so you could see the sun and light. It's an amazing thing that there's so much debate over creation. God is an amazing answer to this question. Whatever you believe it requires faith. My faith is in God.
