There were two floods?
There was a flood before Noah's flood. Not in a since that the earth was flooded like in Noah's flood. But during creation the face of the earth was covered with water. We find this in Genesis 1:2, 2. And the earth was without form, and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters. So before anything else showed on the surface of the earth there was water. Now even science knows that the earth could not be a ball of water, there had to be rock and soil. But where was it? Did God say: let land appear( as if to say water was present only, and there was no land)? We find the answer in Genesis 1:9, 9. And God said, Let the waters under the Heaven be gathered together unto one place, and let the dry land appear: and it was so.There a message written in the wording that is almost hidden. See if you can figure it out before reading any further. Did you see it?
Here's what is hidden. First the water has to be gathered together into one place. To gather water there has to be more than what's gathered. Example: If you go to a well to gather water are you taking all of it? Then there's the second part of this verse that confirms that the water had covered the land. And let the dry land appear. Why would God be referring to dry land? Because it was wet before it was dry. If you dry your shirt it was wet before it was dry, or there would be no need to mention that it was dry. And this is even more confirmed in the next verse: 10. And God called the dry land Earth; and the gathering together of the waters called he Seas: and God saw that it was good. Here again dry land is referred to. So God is here showing that he placed the water in the earth and that there was enough to flood it. Because before any dry land appeared the water had to be gathered up into one place as explained in His word.
So why so much water? During the creation a lot of heat is produced (according to what science would say about the forming of a planet). So if you have water with no firmament (atmosphere) then the heat would rapidly dissipate into the absolute zero temperatures of space. Firmament is not mentioned until verse 6: 6. And God said, Let there be a firmament in the midst of the waters, and let it divide the waters from the waters. Why would God divided the waters from the waters? The outside part of the water that covered the whole earth during creation was exposed to the absolute zero temperatures of space. It froze in place and when the waters where gathered into one place, the frozen part stayed, creating the firmament which also stands for an arch that extends above us. Ice is still water but it's just in a solid form. This arch later fell as part of Noah's flood. So we have the waters being divided because one part was solid form and the other was still liquid and was able to be gathered in to one place.
Then science complains that there was no heat. That the plants formed would have froze as in verses 11-12, 11. And God said, Let the earth bring forth grass, the herb yielding seed, and the fruit tree yielding fruit after his kind, whose seed is in itself, upon the earth: and it was so.
12. And the earth brought forth grass, and herb yielding seed after his kind, and the tree yielding fruit, whose seed was in itself, after his kind: and God saw that it was good. And the light was not created from objects that produce heat until verse 16, 16. And God made two great lights; the greater light to rule the day, and the lesser light to rule the night: he made the stars also. But because only the outside part of the water froze and stayed in place when the water receded into the earth, there had to be a heat source coming from somewhere. Now when the first light was created, there were only two things present, God and the earth. Both can produce light. The earth can only produce light that is only in the black body spectrum (no white light). God produces only white light. As stated in 1 John, 1 John 1:5 And this is the message which we have heard from him and announce unto you, that God is light, and in him is no darkness at all.
How a eternal being can affect light:
Being that God can only produce pure white light, is the reason why the first light had to be separated. But this goes a step further. Light that comes from an eternal being is also eternal. Which would mean it would shine everywhere at once. This is because: Anything eternal, time has no affect on, or it would not be eternal. In other words: Light speed, as we know it, would not apply to eternal light that is produced from an eternal being. And because the light from God cannot have darkness, the light produced from God, produced no shadows The second light was natural light that came from natural objects. It already cast shadows and is the reason why God did not have to intervene to separate it to make darkness. And this is why all light that we see, cast shadows.
Side note: Evolutionist like to bring up that God killed innocent women and children in the flood. The thing is, they like to bring this up, but when we make the connection of evolution to abortion, through the lie of Ernest Haeckel, they suddenly don't want to discuss it. Who killed more? Abortion has of course. There is an estimated 3000 babies aborted each day in the U.S.. That adds up to a lot more than any world wide Flood would kill, at the time it was done.
