Genesis 1: 3-5
And God said, “Let there be light,” and there was light. God saw that the light was good, and he separated the light from the darkness. God called the light “day,” and the darkness he called “night.” And there was evening, and there was morning—the first day.When we see a rainbow or light through a prism we see white light when it is broken down into its parts; this is called the spectrum. If the spectrum is on a horizontal plane then the electromagnetic field runs parallel to it. Together they are called the electromagnetic spectrum. It is the electromagnetic spectrum which puts the positive, negative and neutral charges on the elements of the periodic table. These cause waves that oscillate into various patterns giving us our microwaves, gamma rays, X-rays, radio waves, ultraviolet light, our visible light and infra red rays. It is through these electric charges we have the magnetic forces. These electromagnetic waves travel through space at 186,282 miles per second and is known as the speed of light. This according to Einstein’s theory of relativity gives us time. So, God created time and the forces and the charges that makes possible the chemistry, physics and biology He puts into play to finish His creation of the universe (today known as the big bang theory). We see that a rainbow reflects the splendor surrounding God in Ezekiel 1:27-28

More on Genesis and science

Genesis 1: 2
Now the earth was formless and empty, darkness was over the surface of the deep, and the Spirit of God was hovering over the waters.
I wish to make this statement; that on the flip side of the spiritual we have the physical. There is much spiritual information in Genesis, but we can also realize the physical nature of the scriptures. The Bible is a profound book.
Formless, dark and empty is the description of the earth at this point. If we were to use a simple tool to describe the earth today we would use the periodic table. The periodic table has all the known elements. They come as solids, liquids, and gases. If we look at this scripture verse we find the earth and waters. (Note waters is plural) Water is made up of two gases; hydrogen and oxygen. The elements were there all formless and empty. So in this verse you have the basic language of the periodic table; earth is equivalent to the solids and the word waters is equivalent to gases and liquids. This is before any electromagnetic spectrum therefore the elements have no plus, minus or neutral charges that is why they are formless and empty and all is dark.

Thought for this day: The Bible and scientific matter

The universe consists of matter, which is described as time, force, space and mass. The Bible begins in Genesis 1:1 In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth. Where does science meet the Bible? In the beginning = time, God created = force, the heavens = space and the earth = mass.
