Similarities Between Genesis 1 And 2

In Genesis chapters 1 and 2, it says that in the beginning God created heaven and earth. He divided the light and the dark and gave them the name night and day. He created the sea, and the grass, and trees and fruit. He created the animals and He made man. He made everything, in the image and likeness of himself. We see him creating living and non-living things. When God spoke, what he commanded happen actually happened. For example, when he called light Day and the darkness Night. He says, “Let us make man in our image, and after our likeness. And let them have dominion over the fish of the sea and over the birds of the heavens and over the livestock and over all the earth and over every creeping thing the creeps on the earth” (Genesis 1:26).
The bible talks about how God made everything we know, including ourselves. It is said that Adam and Eve were first animals, and then became human. There are many pictures of how we first started off as animals and then eventually turned into a human. With that being said, there is no way that can be wrong. Another major point is the timing of the creation of the Earth. The Earth is approximately 4.5 billion years old. Everything that has been recorded and written down in the Bible has gone in accordance as far as time-wise. I do think that this can be reconciled with the
It has helped me view God as a loving, generous, and beautiful person. He created the entire world I live in for the sake of human creation and life. Not only did He create the beauty around me, He gave his only son for me and all of humankind. He loves us so deeply that He would do all of that for us. For that, I adore and cherish Him immensely. This impacts my view on humanity in a negative way. It impacts it negatively because humans are constantly sinning and going against God’s will every single day. He has given us everything and yet humans cannot give him back anything but sin, after all He has done. If it were not for Him, we wouldn’t be here. So to see humanity just be unappreciative of that is just disappointing. Not only that, but God created us to be in the image and likeness of Him. With sin constantly floating around in the world, we will never be able to be an image of Him. It is our responsibility as humans to care properly for the earth. When you get a gift from someone, do you begin to mistreat it and destroy it? No. This should apply to our earth as well. God created it and gave it to us, so why would we want to mistreat it? This is a perfect example of how we are not appreciative of everything that has been given to us. We should be praising Him and doing everything in our power to take care of the beautiful nature He has put around us.
