In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth. The earth was
ReplyDeletewithout form, and void; and darkness was on the face of the deep. And the
Spirit of God was hovering over the face of the waters.
Then God said, "Let there be light"; and there was light. And God saw the
light, that it was good; and God divided the light from the darkness. God
called the light Day, and the darkness He called Night. So the evening and
the morning were the first day.
Then God said, "Let there be a firmament in the midst of the waters, and
let it divide the waters from the waters." Thus God made the firmament, and
divided the waters which were under the firmament from the waters which were
above the firmament; and it was so. And God called the firmament Heaven. So
the evening and the morning were the second day.
Then God said, "Let the waters under the heavens be gathered together into
one place, and let the dry land appear"; and it was so. And God called the
dry land Earth, and the gathering together of the waters He called Seas. And
God saw that it was good. Then God said, "Let the earth bring forth grass,
the herb that yields seed, and the fruit tree that yields fruit according to
its kind, whose seed is in itself, on the earth"; and it was so. And the
earth brought forth grass, the herb that yields seed according to its kind,
and the tree that yields fruit, whose seed is in itself according to its
kind. And God saw that it was good. So the evening and the morning were the
third day.
Then God said, "Let there be lights in the firmament of the heavens to
divide the day from the night; and let them be for signs and seasons, and
for days and years; and let them be for lights in the firmament of the
heavens to give light on the earth"; and it was so. Then 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. God set them in the firmament of the heavens
to give light on the earth, and to rule over the day and over the night,
and to divide the light from the darkness. And God saw that it was good. So
the evening and the morning were the fourth day.
Then God said, "Let the waters abound with an abundance of living
creatures, and let birds fly above the earth across the face of the
firmament of the heavens." So God created great sea creatures and every
living thing that moves, with which the waters abounded, according to their
kind, and every winged bird according to its kind. And God saw that it was
good. And God blessed them, saying, "Be fruitful and multiply, and fill the
waters in the seas, and let birds multiply on the earth." So the evening
and the morning were the fifth day.
Then God said, "Let the earth bring forth the living creature according to
its kind: cattle and creeping thing and beast of the earth, each according
to its kind"; and it was so. And God made the beast of the earth according
to its kind, cattle according to its kind, and everything that creeps on the
earth according to its kind. And God saw that it was good.
Then God said, "Let Us make man in Our image, according to Our likeness;
let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, over the birds of the air,
and over the cattle, over all the earth and over every creeping thing that
creeps on the earth." So God created man in His own image; in the image of
God He created him; male and female He created them. Then God blessed them,
and God said to them, "Be fruitful and multiply; fill the earth and subdue
it; have dominion over the fish of the sea, over the birds of the air, and
over every living thing that moves on the earth."
And God said, "See, I have given you every herb that yields seed which is
on the face of all the earth, and every tree whose fruit yields seed; to you
it shall be for food. Also, to every beast of the earth, to every bird of
the air, and to everything that creeps on the earth, in which there is life,
I have given every green herb for food"; and it was so.
Then God saw everything that He had made, and indeed it was very good. So
the evening and the morning were the sixth day.
Genesis 1 - From The Bible
Two young men who had just graduated from UNC were
ReplyDeleteall excited and talking effusively as they got into a taxi
in downtown Raleigh.
After hearing them for a couple of minutes the cab driver
asked, "You men UNC graduates?"
"Yes Sir! Class of '08!" they answered proudly.
The cab driver extended his hand back to shake their
hand, saying, "Class of '85."
