Interesting.

Psalm 42:7 "Deep calls unto deep at the noise of Your waterfalls; All Your waves and billows have gone over me." 1 Corinthians 2:10 "But God hath revealed [them] unto us by his Spirit: for the Spirit searcheth all things, yea, the deep things of God." It's interesting that we see "the deep" at...

Good conversation. I like your insight. However I don't think the darkness is Satan. My sense is it is something else.

Never said otherwise. But consider God through Christ is revealing His character within creation. “For since the creation of the world His invisible attributes are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even His eternal power and Godhead…”

Consider also: water is often synonymous with the word of God.

Consider that the whole of creation was made to accommodate the entire estate of Christ... "For by him all things were created, in heaven and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or dominions or rulers or authorities—all things were created through him and for him." ..so that...

Perhaps. We shouldn't discount it. Isn't it interesting water is mentioned without any apparent use of it? And light but without a source the earth is accustomed to?

Yeah, sources of light did not appear until day 4. We should ask the question "Then what was the light and from where did it come?" "It is the glory of God to conceal a matter, But the glory of kings is to search out a matter."

Yeah, it should lead to the question "What is this the beginning of?" Some people envision an earth without people. Or an earth without light. Yet, the reality was an earth without form, an earth that was void. There is nothing physically measurable, here, to the human senses.

You seem content in your Sunday School level of understanding. I can't help you. For posterity: Just a few notes: 1. "The beginning" was not the beginning of the earth. We should notice that before creation "the earth was...". 2. The accepted mechanism for time was not created until the 4th...

So God is calling something out of nothing and you're worried about horticulture? I probably can't help you.

Yeah, I show you that it takes wisdom to understand the creation account and you come back with "yom". You don't have to go far for further understanding. Consider this verse in Genesis 8: "While the earth remaineth, seedtime and harvest, and cold and heat, and summer and winter, and day and...

Your title is "How old is our world". Yes, "day" is used to define the specific portion of creation but it is not a 24-hour day like was measure it. Furthermore, there could be no cosmological "morning and evening" until the end of the 4th day. This requires wisdom.

Just a few notes: 1. "The beginning" was not the beginning of the earth. We should notice that before creation "the earth was...". 2. The accepted mechanism for time was not created until the 4th day. "And God said, “Let there be lights in the expanse of the sky to distinguish between the day...
