GE 1:31 God was pleased with his creation.
GE 6:5-6 God was not pleased with his creation.
GE 1:28 God encourages reproduction.
LE 12:1-8 God requires purification rites following childbirth
which, in effect, makes childbirth a sin. (Note: The period for
purification following the birth of a daughter is twice that for a
son.)
GE 1:31 God was pleased with his creation.

(Note: That God should be displeased is
inconsistent with the concept of
omniscience.)
You must not take the Bible as a science text book. It is a
collection of man's experiences with God. It is like the parables
in Buddhism. Anybody can find inconsistencies and illogic in
parables.
People anywhere and everywhere understand that parables are not to
be taken literally and one must find the essence of what the
parables say. Similarly with the Bible. One is "inspired" by the
bible and not "taught" by the bible.
Similarly in Buddhism, you want to know more about science, you
read science text books and not Buddhist scriptures. To try to
understand science from Buddhist scriptures is nonsensical.
When God said "LET THERE BE LIGHT"
Was the man having that experience and revelation from God "blur?"
He is after all only a man and recording down what was revealed to
him in terms that he understood.
It is clear that since it was revealed to him that the sun and the
stars were created after "LET THERE BE LIGHT" then when God said,
"LET THERE BE LIGHT" what came into being, was not light!
It was the basis of what everything else came after. The building
block of the universe. The man who had the experience and
revelation could not understand what it was and so he used the word
"Light."
So you see that in the creation of man, the one writing down the
revelation said God used mud. He could not understand what it was
that God used and so he said, mud.
So you see in the third verse of the whole Bible you have the
mystery of the universe that scientists all over the world are
puzzling over. What came into being when God said:

u did not answer the question.wat i'm trying to tell u is tat
christianity explaination of the beginning and the end of the
universe are indeed ill-conceived. The position of tis religion
which propound the view that the universe was created by god in an
exactly fixed year, has become a difficult one to maintain in the
light of modern and scientific knowledg
