If you read this verse you can't understand it in other way than to imply that Earth is mentioned there. Universe is mentioned in the next day. I think it is well known that stars in the sky arent just small shining spots.I am not arguing that there was primordial light which didn't depend on the Sun or other stars. But, the Sun and the stars were created after the Earth according to Genesis. In reality the things are opposite.The first named human is Adam.I cant read Tora in original language, so I have to use English or Russian translations.You are thinking too “Christian”.
Verse 1 states that physical matter (“The earth”) and metaphysical matter (“The heavens”) were created “In the beginning”, not that the planet earth was created.
God’s initial “desire” was that His creation would be on a higher spiritual plane than it wound up.
This can be determined from the 2nd verse that “There was darkness upon the face of the DEEP”.
From it’s inception, any “existence”
outside of God is imperfect; yet God allowed existence to continue.
There are different gradients of “Light”.
One gradient of light is not concentrated in physical entities, such as a star.
You have to study the verses from verse 1 and drop the English translation as it is very poor.
But Constantine’s council was not interested in creating a spiritually oriented religion.
I will write some verses from Genesis:
9 And God said, "Let the waters under the heavens be gathered together into one place, and let the dry land appear." And it was so.
10 God called the dry land Earth, and the waters that were gathered together he called Seas. And God saw that it was good.
11 And God said, "Let the earth sprout vegetation, plants yielding seed, and fruit trees bearing fruit in which is their seed, each according to its kind, on the earth." And it was so.
12 The earth brought forth vegetation, plants yielding seed according to their own kinds, and trees bearing fruit in which is their seed, each according to its kind. And God saw that it was good.
13 And there was evening and there was morning, the third day.
Doesnt this verse say about creation of Earth?
Can you give the names of these humans?We have no idea how much time elapsed prior to the third iteration of the creation of Adam.
If you read carefully, there are 3 narratives of God creating a human; these 3 humans were different.
Genesis says that the first man's name was Adam. Tora tells about different Adams which lived in different time?The only basis we have for time is Adam’s creation and his ongoing genealogy.
How much time elapses before Adam is created is anyone’s guess.
In any way, the first man (or even the 'third' first man) can't be created 6000 years ago, because the great civilizations of Mesopotamia and Egypt began to form approximately at that time.
There are 2 human creations prior to Adam.
Read the verses very carefully...
There was a human and then there was a human comprised of Male/Female.
You will notice that the planet earth and plant life is created prior to the primordial light being downgraded to a concentrated star.
Inert and plant life do not have any level a higher soul and never actively violate God’s plan and thus their creation was allowed under the influence of pure, untainted energy.”
I am no expert----but actually the words used do not include "earth"----like
THE PLANET EARTH------I think a better translation is something like
first HEAVEN----meaning something like the whole universe -----and then something like "ground" which is something like not the universe but a place --haartez
which is something other than THE UNIVERSE
