Give ye ear, and hear my voice; hearken, and hear my speech.Isaiah 28:23 I
have studied a lot concerning the creation of the earth and I hope as
you read you will learn something. I am going to tell you how I
came to learn what I learned, I will then layout the creation in such a
manner that’s not contrary to any scripture and anything the prophets
have said. In addition, I will then layout the creation that is
also not contrary to any scientific facts, truth and all true
evidence. In school I learned
about and understood the Evolutionary Theory and my friend and his dad
told me it is false and why. I believe them and became extremely
curious concerning the topic. Therefore, I studied the scriptures, read
a few books to try to get a perfect understanding. I read a
particularly informative book called “Earth in The Beginning” by Eric
N. Skousen it taught me a lot. It says thatGenesis 1, Moses 2is the spirit creation account andAbraham 4is the physical creation account. The information in the book is
very useful to read and it is the main resource for this.
However when I read “Doctrines of Salvation” volume one, the chapter on
the creation, it said thatGenesis 1, and Moses 2, is a spiritual (immortal-physical) creation account.
This is contrary to “Earth in The Beginning.” In addition, the
way I understood the “Doctrines of Salvation” vol. 1, it seemed self
contradictory. Now if you do not understand why I say this I will
explain. First there is a difference between a spirit creation
and a spiritual creation. A spirit creation is where all the
spirits of all things are being form, organized and begotten or being
formed with spirit bodies. A spiritual creation is where all the
first parents of all modern life forms are being created
physically-immortally or being formed with immortal physical bodies.
Now you should see the contradiction
between the two books, I will show the other contradiction. According
to the “Earth in The Beginning”Genesis 2, Moses 3 and Abraham 5is the immortal (the same as spiritual) creation account of modern life
forms. Therefore this is how it seemed to me that the
“Doctrines of Salvation” laid it out; spiritual forGenesis 1 and Moses 2, then after this the spiritual immortal creation again inGenesis 2, Moses 3 and Abraham 5. Then I read a statement byRobert J. Woodford that clears it up, “Genesis 1evidently teaches us about the preparation of the earth for humankind
to inhabit and about the creation in heaven of the original plants,
animals, and humans—Adam and Eve.Their bodies were physical but not
yet subject to death. Genesis two evidently teaches us about the
placing of these original plants, animals, and humans on the earth in
their immortal state.” Therefore, this is the basic Layout;There is no spirit creation
account in the scriptures, we do know there are similarities such as we
were begotten as spirits by our Heavenly Father.Genesis 1, Moses 2, Abraham 4,
and the Fossil/Rock Record Accounts explain the creation of the
physical body of this earth, all the modern life forms were form in
heaven but not on the earth, and God prepared the earth for modern life
forms at the same time.Genesis 2, Moses 3, andAbraham 5is the account of the placement of modern life forms on the Earth.See also Moses 3:4-5,7,9,
