Earth under Heaven


vs 1.9
And God said, Let the waters under the heaven be gathered unto one place, and let the dry land appear. vs 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!!! vs 11  And God said, Let the earth bring forth vegetation, the herb yielding seed, and the fruit tree yielding fruit after its kind, and it was so... And GOD saw that it WAS GOOD!!!
So now God has this blank canvas upon which he starts life.  We are told that first there was nothing, then something: From nothing to something.
What glorious beauty God must had envisioned when He brought fourth the dry land from the seas.  From the clay and dirt, rocks and ash, God sees it fit to design beauty into the landscape.  A blank canvas, God sees in His mind a masterpiece of exquisite and exotic plants.  Flowers of all kinds, trees bearing fruit to those bearing thorns.  Herbs and grasses.  Bushes and vines.  Plants that live within the water.  
A master builder and artist that rivals the best masters of history, God creates divine beauty upon the earth.  Such that has never been known before unto the other Gods.  Weaving intricate cell structures into the plants, God forms a landscape of majestic splendor.  Building into each plant codes upon which they will survive.  Telling them when to sleep and when to wake.  When to grow and when to die back.  Designing those that will produce fruit for food.  And those that will defend against attack.  
And the vast palate of color.  God creates colors that have not been seen before.  From all shades of green, to yellows and pinks.  From browns to reds.  Orange, purple, blue.  

In deep space, there is color.  The other Gods formed their universes with color.  As seen from Hubble, one can look at this photo to see that color does exist in the vastness of infinity.  
Color is no stranger to God.  God creates earth and paints it with a beauty beyond anything that has been seen before. "And It Was Good"!!!

"And the Earth was Void and Without Form"

So God accepts the challenge to create something spectacular.  Perhaps the universe is so infinite that it is shared by the other Gods from that spiritual plane.  Perhaps the other galaxies are the creations of the other Gods.  Perhaps they just didn't get it correct.
God says, I will create something so spectacular that It will shame the others.  
On the first day, God created the earth.  When we look at the surrounding planets within our own solar system and those of the Milky 
Way, nothing compares with the structure of the Earth.  So which came first, the earth or the solar system?  According to Genesis, the earth.  It was void and without form. Now, the bible does not state that God created this body, only that it was "void and without form" Genesis 1.2 states that the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters.  
This confirms my analysis of a spiritual  place from where God comes from. His Spirit moves across the face of the waters.  So here we see that God has not created the Earth, but in fact it was already here and it was covered by water.  So, the building blocks of the solar system was already in place when God found just the right spot to be creative.  Earth, just the right size, water already here, Perfect.  Why He even had his Spirit checking it out.  Perfect.  A builder and master craftsman, God gifted in art now starts to build that which has never been done before.  Oh how excited he must have been.  This was His chance to show the other Gods that by selecting the right location one could create the most beautiful of all art.  

Now God goes to work.  I am sure it must have taken Him quite sometime to draw up the plans for his creation.  After all, one does not go blindly out and start building.  Without a blueprint, nothing could be done correctly.  Maybe, just maybe God invented the blueprint.  God is one that likes things that are good.  We are reminded in Genesis that when he makes the world, he sees that it is good and it "Pleases" Him.  Seeing the earth without form and dark, he says (vs 1.3) "Let there be light" and there was light. vs 1.4. And god saw the light, AND IT WAS GOOD!!! God didn't like the idea of a dark earth.  Being God and getting around the infinite space seeing stars, he was no stranger to light.  Notice how the bible does not say that God created light itself, only that he said let there be light.  So what does he do to make this light?  Well, he brings forth the Sun.  And he places it just right where this void, dark and watery planet could sustain life.  Thinking, God says that it isn't a good idea for the whole planet to be light all the time and so in vs 1.4 God creates rotation of the planet around the Sun to create darkness.  Having Sun light 24/7 would indeed destroy that which he is building.  God knew that everything needs darkness to be able to sleep.  In his spiritual world, there would have been an equal balance of both light and darkness.  Thinking, God calls the light Day and the darkness Night.  Pretty good, don't you think?  God likes it, it is Good.  Now He can see what this plan is starting to bring forth. vs 1.6 we see that God creates the atmosphere from which it contains air and moisture from the waters.  Thus providing a bio-sphere that will support life. So great was that which he had just created that he even called it Heaven. What a genius this God was.  How proud it must have made the other Gods to see such creative ingenuity.  And for God Himself, it was all Good.

"Is it a boy or a Girl"? "Before I formed thee, I knew thee." (KJV) Jer.1.5


The core question of "US", "WE", "I" is centered around conception/creation.  No I am not making a statement for either "abortion" or pro-life. 
Where else to start than at the beginning.   Genesis 1.1 "In the beginning, God." What a statement that is.  I suppose someone could spend a lifetime examining those four words. 
   "In the beginning, God."
It makes me think of the "Big Bang Theory".  From out of nothing, something.  "God".  There he was.  In the beginning.... Nothing, then God.  In the beginning.... So, where did He come from?  Is there an unseen spiritual place where "God" was sitting one day?  Someplace where other Gods may have been? A place where the competition amongst the "Gods" got to be too much for Him?  
Out of nothing, something:  What if God were put to the challenge, by an even more superior being, to go out and be creative?  I can hear the conversation now... "God, listen, you have shown so much intelligence and  masterful craftsmanship in art and whip.  It is such a shame to waste all that talent here with us.  Tell you what, show us what you can do. Go out and create something big.  I mean something that no others have done before. Make it colossal to show that your talents are really extraordinary.  I have faith in you that you will not let us down."  
Out of nothing...something.  "In the beginning, God"!
What if God took that challenge and the results are what we see every day.  Both here on earth and in outer space.  
 
Conception:  Is it a boy or a girl?  
"GOD"
Out of nothing, something.
"God"
In the beginning, God.
This is a story of the lighter side of God. His Humorous side.  I wanted to give this introduction as it will lead into everything else that I will comment on.
