"GOD CREATED THE HEAVENS" - THAT WAY?

How many your works are, O Jehovah!
All of them in wisdom you have made.
The earth is full of your productions.
— PSALM 104:24

I have seen much progress in my personal Bible study. I noticed that finally came to understand more clearly about where it was and what was the "beginning" of Genesis 1:1. Then I also analyzed, more accurate, why in the original Hebrew there is talk of "gods" and not just "God". What the holy spirit of God, through my study and weighted with the help of my all-important 'power of reason'. (Romans 12:1) made me realize there is a lot more sense than what I had been persuaded to believe before. Although it is too controversial and entirely new understanding of this, it appears, however, as more accurate truths!
     In a third post, by example and comparison, presented convincing arguments to show that some of God's creations creations were not literal but symbolic creations. So with the "light " that 'God had decreed that' in the first days of creative (Genesis 1:3). Demonstrated that, indeed, the light was already there, as well as its source, the sun, billions of years before even God (or gods) know of the existence of this planet first. I pointedª out in a more real that it was through work, not miracles, such "light came into being. " Would it be so that the various other 'creations' have come into existence? We will look to follow on the second day of creation, even about things that God 'created' during the 'principle', throughout the " in the day that Jehovah God made earth and heaven". (Genesis 2:4) Now to the second 'day' of 'creation':

As "God created the heavens"?
       The writer of Genesis reported: "And God [Hebr.: אלהים ('Elo · him) - the gods] went on to say: “Let an expanse come to be in between the waters and let a dividing occur between the waters and the waters.” Then God [Hebr.: אלהים ('Elo · him) gods], proceeded to make the expanse and to make a division between the waters that should be beneath the expanse and the waters that should be above the expanse. And it came to be so. 8 And God [Hebr.: אלהים ('Elo · him) gods] began to call the expanse Heaven. And there came to be evening and there came to be morning, a second day."- Genesis 1: 6-8

These were that God created the heavens
      This is a more detailed explanation of the initial declaration of the book of Genesis where the writer informs us that "In [the] beginning God [Hebr.: אלהים ('Elo · him) gods] created the heavens" (Genesis 1:1). We must again ask ourselves: Was it miracle or work? In response, note first that God decrees: "Let an" for, soon after, the report concluded by saying that God has "proceeded to make". Make sense in that? Miraculously or work? The text below the psalmist has much relevance to the understanding of all, we read: "How many your works are, O Jehovah! All of them in wisdom you have made. The earth is full of your productions". (Psalm 104:24). Yes, and no work involved inesplicáveis miracles! Again, God 'has become' things to do this using the labor of their children and not angelic miracles unreal as we were taught so wrong! Indeed, 'The heavens. . . are declaring the work of his hands the expanse is telling' of the Gods! (Psalm 19:1) But what exactly happened?

     Regarding the second period or creative "day", Genesis 1:6-8 states that the "Gods" did an "expanse [Hebr.: ra · -a '] between the waters" and made it happen "a dividing occur between the waters and the waters". The expansion that they have named "Heaven". Further, the record speaks of lights appearing in "expansion of the heavens", and later still, with flying creatures fly over the earth, "in the face of the expanse of heaven" But these are subjects for future studies staff. Gen. 1:14, 15, 17, 20

What are "heaven" that God created?
      The encyclopedia Insight on the Scripture says it best, saying the report here in question "Describe. . . the formation of atmospheric expansion around the Earth and indicates that at one time, there was no clear division or open space, but the entire globe was previously shrouded in water vapor. . . . [A] gas mixture comprising the earth's atmosphere is as real as the soil and water, and has its own weight (besides containing water and a number of solid particles such as dust. The weight of all the air around the earth has been estimated at more than 5,200,000,000,000,000 metric tons. (The World Book Encyclopedia, 1987, Vol 1, p. 156) The atmospheric pressure at sea level is about 1 kg per cm2. The atmosphere also offers resistance, so that most meteors that reach the huge envelope of air around the earth are burned by the friction created by it". Volume 2 p. 81/82.

     Thus, we can say with full assurance that "the heavens" (Genesis 1:1, 2:1, 4) which the Gods created the heavens were not astronomical and the heavens of space, the universe with his still astounding number and sizes of galaxies containing billions of stars each, which in many cases, are beyond our comprehension. Truly a God (assisted by helpers million) which has the power to modify the environment of a planet and make it a place conducive to life again and feed is to haunt us, but transports us to a more realistic understanding. Already a God who has the power to create a universe (however small it might be) evades reality and goes beyond the borders to the world of fables.

     Soon after, he is starting a new light on the 'creation of the earth'. It is the result of my personal study on the first verse of the Bible, Genesis 1:1 - wait.

ª The fact that the Bible silent about the existence of dinosaurs and other life forms that lived on this planet millions of years before is reason enough to understand that when they came here to 'create', was a very recent date compared with the age of planet Earth.

The Hebrew verb has two states, the perfect and imperfect. The perfect indicates completed action. The imperfect or incomplete action indicates continuous, or action in progress. In Genesis 1:1, "created" in Hebrew is a verb in the perfect, showing that the action of creating the heavens and the earth had been completed from the viewpoint of the book writer, who wrote thousands of years later.
