One of my early premises of Geocreationism is that Jesus Himself was present for Creation.  Even the very first verse of the Bible says so.
Genesis 1:1 - “In the beginning, God created the heavens and the earth.”
As I discussed in my post on Genesis 1:1a, the word for God is Elohim, a plural form of the one God.  It represents both God’s unequaled majesty, as well the Trinity, using a word that is both plural and singular at the same time.  John confirms this in his gospel in John 1:1-3, and Solomon describes why Jesus was there in Proverbs 8:22-26.  In fact, Solomon even goes on to give Jesus a voice in Proverbs 8:27-30a.  Here, …

…continued from Genesis 3 - The Fall of Man (Part 4)

After disciplining the serpent, then Eve, God now turns to Adam, whom God had interrogated first on the matter…
 17 To Adam he said, “Because you listened to your wife and ate from the tree about which I commanded you, ‘You must not eat of it,’
       “Cursed is the ground because of you;
       through painful toil you will eat of it
       all the days of your life.
Now this is harsh.  God had given him a garden, in which he had all the food he ever needed.  Of course, it did require tending, enough so that …

One of the most difficult parts of my Creation studies has been the topic of Evolution.  What to believe? And it’s more than just figuring out a theory that fits the evidence, it’s prayerfully working out what God actually did.

Most of the problems with Evolution stem from a combination of two things: our tremendous knowledge of what is in the fossil record, and our lack of knowledge of what is NOT in the fossil record.  Why is something missing from the record? Well, it’s either because it just never got fossilized or it’s because it never existed.  So, how do you know which it is?

Science takes what is known and theorizes the unknown.  That is what it does.  Unfortunately, I …

Genesis 2
 1 Thus the heavens and the earth were completed in all their vast array.

 2 By the seventh day God had finished the work he had been doing; so on the seventh day he rested from all his work. 3 And God blessed the seventh day and made it holy, because on it he rested from all the work of creating that he had done.
When did God rest?  In Day 6 - When did it end?, I suggested that the creation of Homo Sapiens Sapiens was a reasonable date for ending Day 6: 200,000 years ago.  So then, when …

In Day 5 - Determining a Date (Part 2), I make the case the KT impact removed the hindrance to a a more modern, flourishing, fish and bird population.  This was 65 million years ago, when fish started to flourish.  Mammals actually started to flourish …

 26 Then God said, “Let us make man in our image, in our likeness, and let them rule over the fish of the sea and the birds of the air, over the livestock, over all the earth, and over all the creatures that move along the ground.”

 27 So God created man in his own image,
       in the image of God he created him;
       male and female he created them.

 28 God blessed them and said to them, “Be fruitful and increase in number; fill the earth and subdue it. Rule over the fish of the sea and the birds of the air and over every living creature that moves on the ground.”

 24 And God said, “Let the land produce living creatures according to their kinds: livestock, creatures that move along the ground, and wild animals, each according to its kind.” And it was so. 25 God made the wild animals according to their kinds, the livestock according to their kinds, and all the creatures that move along the ground according to their kinds. And God saw that it was good.
Now remember that the Geocrationist perspective here is that, as I write about in “Let” (borrowed from Glenn Morton’s Days of Proclamation Theory), that God removed an insurmountable hindrance to the animals mentioned in the verses above.  But, what was preventing …

 20 And God said, “Let the water teem with living creatures, and let birds fly above the earth across the expanse of the sky.” 21 So God created the great creatures of the sea and every living and moving thing with which the water teems, according to their kinds, and every winged bird according to its kind. And God saw that it was good. 22 God blessed them and said, “Be fruitful and increase in number and fill the water in the seas, and let the birds increase on the earth.” 23 And there was evening, and there was morning—the fifth day. — Genesis 1:20-23

In Does “Full Humanity” Predate Homo Sapiens? (Part 4 - Pre-Adamism), I quoted part of an interchange between Stephen Jones and Glenn Morton, where SJ acknowledged Anamensis existence 4.2 mya.  Here it is for your convenience:
GM: As I have mentioned, there are a few fossils which have Homo-like affinities from 4.2 MYR ago. You seem to forget that.
(see Brigitte Senut and Christine Tardieu, “Functional Aspects of Plio-Pleistocene Hominid Limb Bones: Implications for Taxonomy and phylogeny”,in Eric Delson, editor, Ancestors: The Hard Evidence, pp 193-201)
SJ: I don’t “forget that” at all. As Glenn himself says, they are “fossils which have Homo-like affinities from 4.2 MYR ago”. They …

In Genesis 2:4-7 - Moses Recorded the Evolution of Man (Part 1), I showed how the following verses accurately describe the world, about 4.4 - 4.5 billion years ago:
4 This is the history of the heavens and the earth when they were created, in the day that the LORD God made the earth and the heavens, 5 before any plant of the field was in the earth and before any herb of the field had grown. For the LORD God had not caused it to rain on the earth, and there was no man to till the ground; …
