EARTH TIME SPACE & THE FIRST EARTH AGE

I'm always amazed at mainstream Christians who, because of a misunderstanding of Genesis, are ignorant of science and exist in a fantasy world whereby modern Christianity is contrary to science and vice-versa. I have had serious discussions with mainstream Christians, that is to say Judeo-Christians, also called Christian Zionists, who  believe the world is only 7000 years old, that dinosaurs never existed, and the idea of life elsewhere in the universe is heretical and that if UFOs really do exist they are not extra-terrestrial, but demonic, that earth is the only planet in the entire universe that has life, if that were not so God would have told us otherwise they claim, and that the earth and the universe have certainly not existed for billions of years! Where to began?

Christian Zionists remind me of the Inquisition whereby Giordano Bruno  was buried at the stake on February 17, 1600 for, among other things, suggesting that the stars in the sky were suns like our own, perhaps with planets of their own, some of which might actually have intelligent life. Today we see differently.

 With the advent of Near Death Experiences it may come to pass that science may finally prove the immortality of the soul.  Many scholars suggest that the brain is not the seat of consciousness but merely the receiver thereof. Quantum Physicists speculate  that not only may other inhabited worlds exist in the universe but also different dimensions. Consider our reality like a TV set containing many channels. Each channel is a different dimension in our own time-space, some of which have intelligent life, but said life not being aware of life on other channels (dimensions) and leading to the mistaken belief that there is only one reality. Perhaps Heaven, Sheol, and Hell, are but different dimensions in our own time-space continuum.

But if different dimensions exist, as well as other inhabited worlds, God is also their creator! This is a much more expansive and powerful God than humans, especially mainstream Christians, have envisioned thus far. If we examine Genesis Chapter 1, Verse 1 we see the creation of time-space-matter. " In the beginning (TIME) God created the Heavens (SPACE) and the Earth. (MATTER)

This is when the first earth age was created. It was when our souls were created because the spiritual creation preceded that of the material, or physical world. Our bodies are not flesh and bone at this point in time, nor are they orbs of light or semi-transparent like that of a ghost. There is a physical body but of a much finer and more esoteric material than that of our later human bodies.

Our souls existed in the presence of God in that first age. This is premortal existence. We were not angels, that was a different creation that took place also in the first age, but shared many similarities with them, although inferior in status. Angels were not designed to incarnate into physical bodies in the second earth age. This first earth age was an age of perfection in which Lucifer was still just and the Luciferian rebellion had not taken place. Earth existed in this age in a refined celestial state, but Eden and Adamkind did not. A lot of mysteries we are only now pondering over took place in this age as regards lost civilizations,dinosaurs, and monoliths. The earth's domain might have been under the jurisdiction of Lucifer back when he was still holy. Some theologians and Biblical scholars speculate that one of the factors in his later rebellion, besides his pride into wanting to be like the most high, whereby the created assumes equality with the creator, was his jealousy  of God's plan to create a more physical race via Adamkind in which the souls could incarnate and experience a more physical reality.He saw this as an attack on his abode and believed he was about to be replaced and dispossessed by Adam and his descendants. Of course he did not talk to God about this and explain his concerns, at this point he is jealous of God and wants to be God , so he merely brooded and let his anger and resentment build.

It was then sometimes during the planning of this implementation of God's plan that  Lucifer rebelled and took a third of the angels with him bringing an end to the first earth age. Thus there is a vast gap in time between verse 1 and verse 2 in Genesis, quite possibly even billions of years, before verse two commences with the beginning of the second earth age.
