According to Genesis 1:2, God formed the universe in the dark of night and then created light to shine during the second half of the day. God also created humans to emulate the rest of the universe. As such, we spend the first half of a new day (nighttime) at rest, forming and regenerating new cells in our body. This time of rest and regeneration allows us to be ready the moment we step out of bed to do our work during the part of the day when it is light. First we prepare ourselves at night, and then we do our work during the day.
Similarly, God creates a new human life the same way. He begins by forming new cells within a mother’s womb in the dark and allows it to see the light of day only after being prepared for the world’s environment. Just as a new day begins in darkness for humans, so does a new life – in the darkness of a mother’s womb.
Essentially all life begins in darkness: the universe, humans, animals in wombs or eggs, and plant seeds in the dirt. Why do you think God defined life this way?
hello It’s a good post.
So that’s the case? Quite a reevlation that is.
