Do you think the world was created over millions and billions of years? Or do you think that everything that exists was created in six 24-hour periods?

In this episode of the One Verse podcast, we will look at Genesis 1:5, I will share my view.

And just as a fair warning, if you hold strongly to one view or the other, you will probably be somewhat offended by what I say.

The text of Genesis 1:5

Genesis 1:5. God called the light Day, and the darkness He called Night. So the evening and the morning were the first day.

In this discussion of Genesis 1:5 we look at:

* Why Moses borrowed from Pagan Creation Myths to tell the story of Creation

* The truth about why and how God redeems the darkness

* The theological importance of “naming”

* Whether the days of creation were 24-hour days or not.
