(2) How can God create a planet, this earth? Where did he get his material from? And was it possible for God to overcome the laws of gravitation? (3) Does it not seem strange that God, who seemed to have direct dealings with Moses, did not give him more information about it? (4) Theologians claim that God is the architect, the designer, the first cause, the creator. Why did it take God to make this terrestrial globe six days? If he was able to make it in six days, he might as well have made it in one day, yes, one hour. If the Word was God, and God was the Word, then the Word ought to have displayed this magical art; he might have simply said, Go! The term designer, architect, creator, implies skill, human skill, a being that has brain. (5) As to heaven, that part that is scripturally indicated as heaven is the atmosphere. (6) We are nowhere told where God was when he was doing all this work. Whether he was floating in space among the meteors and asteroids, or had his residence on Mars or Venus, we are not informed. (7) This earth always had a form. A globe that revolves round its own axis, once in twenty-four hours, and round the sun besides, cannot be without form. It must necessarily have a globular form; nor was it ever void. There is no such thing as a void in fact; it may appear so to one ignorant of natural phenomena. That was undoubtedly the case when that matter was written up. (8) It must also be remembered that every planet in the system of the sun receives a portion of his light. The contact of the sun's rays with the elements of this earth is fatal to any such nonsensical proposition as a void. (9) As to "the darkness on the face of the deep," that could exist only in isolated places, because of an intense fog or mist. The whole surface of the earth could not have a fog at one time. That is impossible. Wherever the sun shines there is light. (10) "And the spirit of God moved on the face of the waters." What waters? Where? We know that only one thing in this solar system can disperse a fog; that is the sun. Verse 3: "And God said, Let there be light, and there was light." This is worse than childish; it is stupid. (1) How could God have light when the sun was not made? (2) And if the sun existed, it was silly on his part to say it. Verse 4: "And God saw the light that it was good, and God divided the light from the darkness." How is it possible for any sane person to believe such nonsense, when everybody with a grain of common sense knows that light and darkness depend on the sun, as day and night do? And this is said to have constituted the first day's work. If any man will read it carefully he will perceive that the composition is of a nature to entertain simple-minded people, children, who are unable to understand the ordinary phases of nature. The second day's work is very droll. Verse 6: "And God said, Let there be a firmament in the midst of the waters," etc.
