Huge basins and subterranean chambers were formed to hold water.

 

“Seas” is plural indicating several areas of water

 

“earth” is “eretz” in Hebrew.  The same word used in Gen. 1:1-2

 

1:11-13

Three types are mentioned:

1) Plants

a)     Grasses – ground covering vegetation

b)     Herbs – bushes and shrubs

2)Trees

c)      Trees – woody plants

 

These plants where fully developed and not seeds.

These had an appearance of age (like the adult male Adam).

 

 

“Seed” – “zera`”  (zeh'-rah) – within each plant was the ability to produce plants of the same kind.

a)       within these seeds was DNA and the ability to produce a wide variety within the “kind” but never a “new kind”

b)       This is seen today in science.   We have seen a variety of “kinds” produced but we have never seen a “new kind” produced.  Only in the religious theories and philosophies of evolution does it occur.  Never is a new kind seen in reality.

“Kind” – this phrase “after its Kind” occurs ten times in Genesis 1

a)       this phrase refers to species or families

b)     1 Cor. 15:38-39

c)      This verse refutes modern evolution.  There is scripturally no link between one kind and another.  Neither is there a link between them found in fossils or in modern science.
