Here are seven interpretations that we see at work in Genesis 1. If it’s your first time here, then perhaps just read the prophetic model that I have called “God’s Timetable” in Page-1-God. You don’t have to agree with all the models but at the end of the day you have to say, “Wow! Who else but God could pack so many levels of revelation:– symbolic; literal; technical and prophetic, into one brief description.” Either before or after you read these models, know that there is a sequence a maturing that is involved. Some will misunderstand, so please read “Creation – What I believe”.
This is where I started to look for more than the obvious understandings. It seemed to lead to “God’s Timetable”. Part 3 of the timetable ultimately inspired “Where Time Begins”; which lays out how God ordained the laws of physics to establish the universe we see today.

This is OK if you know Adam is real. But it is just a very simple view.
Creation of just this planet. This is really the pure imagination of the scientist harnessed to view God’s creation.
Creation of the whole universe. Not just Big Bang, but also Galacto-centric versions. Discover what a GAF is and realise we probably have no idea in reality.
This was an exciting surprise when I first saw it. There is a storey to be told or is this just a stepping stone to the Millennia Model.
God knew the End from the Beginning. This is more than a model—more like the fullness of God’s purposes.
If you cannot accept God then this is for you. It is the best lie of all time, but remember, I told you it was a lie first.
Most models have problems. So which one do I choose? But it is just a very simple view.
Bitter enemies but both acknowledge Jesus. How do you get them together?
