Recently, I made some tweets (are they still called tweets in X?) about the mental model of creation from Genesis 1 that I have in my mind.

I said that verse 1 is a general statement and that verse 2+ is the how explaining the 6 days of creation. I believe this strongly.

I said that in verse 2, 3 things are in existence, God , water and planetary debris. This is wrong. I see now that there are only 2 things in existence, God and water, and that this verse is also emphasizing that the earth has yet to be materialized because the earth is created in verse 9 on the 3rd day. (Side Note: water and Spirit are present at the birth of the universe.)

God has spoken our universe into existence starting with light which I take to mean electromagnetic spectrum and in verse 4 He separates the visible light from the rest of the electromagnetic radiation, the first day.

I watched this week in wonder and amazement how Terrance Howard appeared to show, on joe Rogan's podcast, in a particle simulation how God's voice through the medium of the firmament (which Terrance calls Aether) arranged vortices of electric and magnetic waves at the correct angles to organize particles of matter very precisely matching what we observe as Saturn today. At least this is how my small feeble mind understood him to be confirming Genesis with his unifying theory of conjugate waves.

Let there be EM.

Fascinating.
