Ask An Adventist Friend .com? This is the digital literacy of a boomer lol. At least start with the official SDA website:
"The literal six-day creation week comes from Genesis chapters 1 and 2. God hovers over a “formless and empty” earth enveloped in darkness, and begins His work (Genesis 1:2)."
Or perhaps something published in one of our magazines:
"Verse two seems to assume the prior existence of two primordial realities: “earth” or land and “the deep” or the sea."
Or, better yet, just don't waste my time pretending to know what SDAs believe based on subpar google searches.
Yes. Lets go to your website. Let's check that creation week tab. What do we find, right at the start? Oh, just the first words of magic book.
“In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth” (Genesis 1:1)
I find creationism utterly fascinating. There's no more well discredited idea still floating around in the heads of contemporary human beings than creationist ideology, of any kind, by any name. Mostly...fantastically...because we very much went out looking for evidence to prove it true. From enlightenment natural philosophers to turn of the century bible and spade types. The great tragedy of science and archeology, as it were, from the middle ages to now.
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!
