Instantaneous Creation
What Is Instantaneous Creation?
Instantaneous Creation In Six Twenty-Four Hour Days
.
God created the world just like He said He did, in 6 literal days (24 hours each).
Notice in Genesis 1:5, 8, 13, 19, 23, and 31 the phrase “and the evening and the morning.”
The evening and the morning make one 24-hour day today just like they always have, even from creation.
There are places in the Bible where the word “day” is used to refer to a longer period of time, but not here.
The many “evening and morning” references make this very clear.
Also, Genesis 1:1 says “In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth.”
The word “created” comes from the Hebrew word Bara, which refers to an instantaneous act of creation.
Therefore, this does away with any theory that would try to spread out the creation over long periods of time.
