Summary

The website content discusses the biblical account of creation, emphasizing that everything in existence, including cows, was created by God from nothing, as detailed in the book of Genesis.

Abstract

The article "Each Day of Creation" provides a reflective look at the origins of the universe and life, particularly focusing on the existence of cows as an example of created matter. It contrasts the scientific understanding that matter cannot be created or destroyed with the biblical narrative found in Genesis, which asserts that God made all matter from nothing. The article outlines the six days of creation as described in the Bible, highlighting the sequence of God's creative acts, from light and celestial bodies to living creatures and humanity. It also touches on the philosophical question of the origin of matter, suggesting that the Bible offers a definitive answer where science currently does not. The piece concludes by inviting readers to explore more biblical content and to subscribe for further articles.

Each Day of Creation

A quick look at cows and science

Everything came from nothing

Gravity. Trees. Light. Granite. Sound. Cows. Time. Electricity. Water. Atoms. Dolphins. Space. Potassium. Stars. Mountains. Uranium. Flamingoes. Strawberries.

Some of those things listed are visible. Some aren’t. Some can be touched. Others can’t be touched. But what do they all have in common? They exist. They were made. They came from somewhere. The problem is that we don’t know what they originally came from.

The cow question

Nothing that exists today just poofs! itself into existence. Take the cow in the picture above, for instance. Let’s call her Amy.

Amy the cow didn’t just materialize out of thin air. She didn’t just show up in a pasture by the means of spontaneous generation — the creation of life from non-living substances. No, Amy the cow had a set of parents. And both of her parents each had parents. And so on. But here’s the question — where did the first cows on earth come from?

Amy the cow and science

Matter is anything that takes up space. So, Amy the cow is matter. You and I are also matter. Over time, super smart humans reasoned that matter can’t be created or destroyed, but it can change forms.

So, let’s say that Amy the cow suddenly went to that great, green pasture in the sky and was left unburied. Her body would go through the decomposition process.

Some of her matter would turn into gases which would leak from the dead tissue and be released into the atmosphere. With time, the rest of her carcass would morph from flesh to a pile of bones and (eventually) dirt. The matter that made her a living, mooing cow changed forms, but it wasn’t destroyed.

So, where does matter come from?

Everything, all matter, is made from something. All matter has a starting point, an origin. The problem is that we don’t know what or where the starting point is.

Unless we look to the Bible. It is the starting point for everything that exists.

God made everything

The book of Genesis is the first book in the Bible. The word ‘genesis’ means birth or origin. And that’s an excellent name for the book because it provides a glimpse into the literal beginning of everything: the first water molecule, the first ray of sunlight, the first blob of gravity and yes, the very first cow.

God created all matter. He literally made everything from nothing.

The days of Creation

Chapter one and a part of chapter two in the book of Genesis documents the creation of our world and the universe. The two sections succinctly spell out what the Almighty made on the six days of Creation. They are as follows:

Day 1: God created light.

Day 2: God separated the sky from the water on the earth.

Day 3: Then God separated the land from the seas. He also created plants and vegetation.

Day 4: Next, God created the sun, moon, and stars.

Day 5: On this day, God created fish for the seas and birds for the sky.

Day 6: Land animals were created. And so were human beings.

Day 7: God rested from His magnificent work and declared that everything He made was good!
