Who? Where? What?
There was an
accident near our house involving a pickup and a sedan. The drivers were OK,
the sedan sustained scratches, but the pickup was badly damaged. Traffic patrol
arrived. The driver of the pickup said the sedan ran a red light and hit him.
The sedan driver angrily denied it and said the accident was the pickup
driver’s fault.
Two eye witnesses
came forward. Who were they, where were they, what did they see? The eye witnesses didn’t know each other or the
drivers involved in the accident. They were driving the two cars stopped behind
the pickup. Each saw the light turn green then each saw the pickup enter the
intersection. The sedan driver was ticketed for running a red light.
The Genesis
creation account seems like the scene of a traffic accident, with people giving
different versions of what happened. According to some, plants were created
before the sun. If that is so, others retort, then Genesis ran a red light, damaging
the credibility of the rest of the Bible.
But, wait! Genesis
1 says there was an eye witness to the creation events. Who? The Spirit of God. Where?
He was on the surface of the water that covered a formless and empty earth. What? He saw darkness. Can anything
else confirm this? Yes! Psalms tells us that primordial earth was a water
world. The book of Job tells us that clouds covered primordial earth like a
garment, wrapping it in thick darkness.

"Let there be light" |
The earth was
wet. The sky was dark. Sunlight couldn’t penetrate the clouds. The first
creation miracle transformed earth’s atmosphere so that a little bit of sunshine
could reach the surface of the ocean where God’s Spirit was working. When we
ask the eyewitness to creation where he was and what he saw, the order of the
creation miracles in Genesis 1 reads like the history of planet earth. What are
the odds of that happening?
