Genesis 1
Read the first chapter of the Book of Genesis last night again. Wow! It had been a while and the amazing events that it describes! The Creator gathered the land in one place and separated it from the seas- Pangaea as we now call it! The space between the upper waters-perhaps refering to the clouds and the lower waters. So, the atmosphere was created.
A balanced ecosystem needed to be established before mankind could be introduced. I suppose the great period of the dinosaurs and lush vegatation was used merely as fertalizer and turned under by a great cataclysm way before mammals and feathered birds were introduced. Supppose it could have been an asteroid or comet that ended the “age of the dinos”, but certainly not necessarily. The Creator only needed to speak it and it was over. Which of course still holds true…
The amount of preparation that it must have taken to set the stage for the introduction of man must have been immense!
