Theory on creation (biblical theory)

This theory, I posted in the forum already, but I thought I should use my blog more oo. So here it is. This theory mixes some scientifc based ideas with some bible based ideas. Genesis 1:1-5 : "In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth. The earth was empty, a formless mass cloaked in darkness. And the Spirit of God was hovering over its surface. Then God said, 'Let there be light,' and there was light. And God saw that it was good. Then he seperated the light from the darkness. God called the light 'day,' and the darkness 'night.' Together this made up one day." Now how is this different from our days. For starters, in our current perspective of days and nights is controlled by Earth rotating it's axis so parts of the earth are exposed to the sun's light, while the other parts experience night. Our frame of mind for day and night is dependent on being on earth. Earth wasn't created yet so that can't be a reference point. Thus 1 full "day" is probabbly much longer than a 24 hour peroid. During that period the day portion could be a giant flash of light, or a continious light sourse that eventually faded away and created a new day when a new lightsource appeared. This is God we're talking about too; he could have been the light source himself, if he wanted. On the other hand, Since I think God really is all powerful, I've got no doubt that he could creat the universe and the earth with in seven, twenty-four hour days. Genesis 1:6-8 : "And God said, "let there be space between the waters, to seperate water fro water." And so it was. God made this space to seperate the waters above from the waters below. And God called the space 'sky.' This happened on the second day." The first day speaks of a formless mass clouded in darkness. The second day speaks of waters and seperating the waters. What if the formless mass liquified in to water, or water like substance. The seperating of waters could be the distributing of the mass to create the cosmos we now see looking up at night. Genesis 1:9-13 : "And God said, 'Let the waters beneath the sky be gathered into one place so dry ground may apear.' And so it was. God named the dry ground 'land' and the waters seas.' And God saw that it was good. Then God said, 'Let the land burst forth with every sort of grass and seed baring plant. And let there be trees that grow seed bearing fruit. The seeds will then produce the kinds of plants and trees from which they came.' And so it was. The land was filled eith seed-bearing plants and trees, and their seed produced plants and trees of like kind. And God saw that it was good. This all happened on the third day." The third day land was created by gathering the waters beneth the sky in one place. The planets, not just earth, could have been formed this way. From a molten like liquid always moving, to the liquid magma cooling and hardening in one spot to create dry ground "land." Still on the third day, (again, "day" being the age of time between light and dark, not 24 hours), the land burst forth with grass and seed bearing plants, as well as plants that had seed bearing fruit. Current scientific theories conclude that plant life was first on earth, and their wasts created an oxgyan rich atmosphere. What those plants were is hypothesized as algae, but perhaps that was just the begining of plantlife in this "day." Genesis 1:14-19 : "And God said, 'Let bright lights appear in the skyto seperate the day from the night. They will be signs to mark off the seasons, the days, and the years. Let their light shine down upon the earth." And so it was. For God made two great lights, the sun and the moon, to shine down upon the earth. The greater one, the sun presides during the day; the lesser one, the moon, presides through the night. He also made the stars. God set these lights in heaven to light the earth, to govern the day and the night, and seperate the light from the darkness. And God saw that it was good. This all happened on the forth day." The forth day, its said that bright lights such as the sun, moon and stars were created to shine down on the earth, to govern the day and night, and to seperate the light from the darkness, and to mark off the seasons, days, and years. Honestly, I don't know how to make sense of science that tells a star's age. also, before this time the star we call the sun could have been in a pre-star nebula like substance. I'm told nebulas create a lot of light that can be seen through telascopes. Another theory is that for some reason other stars being created or already created, couldn't be seen from earth. Perhaps the nebula like sun clouded earth's view of other cosmos. All of this so far is theory that I've heard no proof to support. But as far as I can tell it's plasible. Genesis1:20-23 : "And God said, 'Let the waters swarm with fish and other life. Let the skies be filled with birds of every kind.' So God created great sea creatures and every sort of fish and every kind of bird. And God saw that it was good. Then God blessed them, saying, 'Let the fish multiply and fill the oceans. Let the birds increase and fill the earth. This all happened on the fifth day." On the fith day, fish and birds filled the earth. Filled it, so this was another long era, or another miraculous day. Genesis 1:24-25 : "And God said, 'Let the earth bring forth every kind of animal -- livestock, small animals and wildlife.' And so it was. God made all sorts of wild animals, livestock, and small animals, each able to reproduce more of its own kind. And God saw that it was good." Genesis 1:26-31 : "And God said, 'Let us make people in our own image, to be like ourselves. They will be masters over all life -- the fish in the sea, the birds in the sky, and all the livestock, wild animals, and small animals.' So God created people in his own image; God paterned them after himself; male and female he created them. God blessed them and told them, 'Multiply and fill the earth and subdue it. Be masters over the fish and birds and all the animals.' And God said, "Look! I have given you the seed bearing plants throughoutthe earth and all the fruit trees for your food. And I have given all the grasses and other green plants to the animals and birds for their food.' And so it was. Then God looked over all he had made and he saw it was excellent in every way. This all happened on the sixth day." Sixth day all other animals were created with man and woman created last. Theoritically, the dinosors could have been part of the world and died off in this time period. Who knows? This may sond like a streach, but I honestly do believe that the bible speeks the truth. Literally. I figure it'll take time for science to catch up, for us to understand how the bible was right. Thus I don't dis-believe either findings of the bible, or findings of science. But if there is a condriction, yes I assume that the Bible is correct.
