The first chapter of Genesis underscores a number of important truths apart from the creative works of God. For instance, the family unit is set apart as a divinely appointed institution, thereby denouncing the practices of fornication, abortion and single-parenthood; the polity of the local church is set forth to be that of pastor/deacons, thereby denouncing the notion of plural elderships; animals are separated into distinct species, thereby denouncing the fallacy of biological evolution; humans are made in the image and likeness of God, thereby denouncing the error of Adam and Eve being created only in a neutral state as well as the error of God actively creating Adam and Eve sinful; humans are commissioned to care for the environment, thereby denouncing the unbiblical environmentalism…

The first verse of the Bible exposes the fallacy of many popular notions—Eternity Of Matter, Biological Evolution, Atheism, Polytheism, Pantheism. It also sets out the boundary around which all creation is subject, that of a time continuum. God accomplished five things on the first day of creation—time, universe, angels, globe and shining light. These matters are examined in this study.
