No, this is NOT what Genesis says, but this is what
Hubble proved mathematically.

Genesis Chapter 1:5 says:"...And the evening and the morning were the
first day". Verse 8 says:"...And the evening and the morning were the
second day". Verse 13 says:"And the evening and the morning were the
third day:". Verse 14 says:"And God said, Let there be lights in the
firmament of the heaven to divide the day from the night; and let them be
for signs, and for seasons, and for days, and years:". Verse 19 says:"And
the evening and the morning were the fourth day".
My question is how can you have evening and morning on the first, second,
and third day when the solar system and stars weren't created until the
4th day? Also on the first day the earth was non existent, Verse 2"And
the earth was without form, and VOID;.." The earth wasn't created untill
the third day, Verse 9 & 10"...let the dry land appear: and it was so.
And God called the dry land Earth; and the gathering together of the
waters called he Seas:..".
In order to have evening and morning you need the earth and the Solar
system, stars and planets, they weren't created till the 4th day. Evening
and morning is created as the Earth turns on it's axis around the Sun
(star).
Genesis 2:1,2 says"Thus THE HEAVENS AND THE EARTH WERE FINISHED, and all
the host of them. And on the seventh day God ended his work which he had
made; and he rested on the seventh day from all his work which he had
made."
According to Genesis on the 4th day God created the stars, and yet
astronomers are discovering new stars being created.
On page 82 of CONCISE BOOK OF ASTRONOMY it says"The beautiful Orion
nebula is a birthplace of the stars. In 1978 an ENTIRELY NEW STAR BEGAN
to switch on in Orion, thus PROVING that it really is a cosmic nursery."
On page 81 of the CONCISE BOOK OF ASTRONOMY by Mitton it says"An
EXCITING DISCOVERY about the gas CLOUDS (NEBULAE) of space is that NEW
STARS are BEING MADE inside them ALL THE TIME. Astronomers have actually
seen new stars turn on INSIDE THE ORION NEBULA.

Religion and Science are like two modems on
a noisy phone line - except that only one of
them has an error correction protocol.
Religion, on the other hand,
will dig in and try to hold its ground no matter how much evidence is
discovered that disputes the "truth" of its doctrines.-Farrell Till
