While the Scripture may not be a natural science textbook, it can nonetheless provide a valuable insight into how the Earth was created. Through this passage, we can get an understanding that the way the Earth is now is a result of actions that were very intentional well thought out. We can see this in the Scripture when there are explanations for each action. For example, light was created “to rule the day,” which assigns the sun a purpose. This principle holds true for the rest of God’s creations, leading to who we are. From this scripture, we can also see that the way Earth is today was well thought out. Earth wasn’t created on a whim. God took a full week, which is more time than we usually put into a 15 page paper. Therefore, we know that a lot of reflection and thought went into how the Earth and its inhabitants was made. This brings us to humans, for which the same principle applies. He created humans just like he did the rest of the Earth. There are two things that are unique to humans, however. One of which is that he created humans in his image, which means that God must have high expectations for the potential of the human race, and he expects them to also follow God’s ways and message just as they follow him in their appearance. He also gives humans resources that he does not attribute to other species, which further proves the following point. Despite God not needing to rest, he does so anyway, which proves that sometimes rest is not always for the weary. Those who rest are often wise for taking time away to reflect on their actions and taking a break from the rat race of life.
