I've never actually read the Bible and yes, I've been to mass but it's not like I follow along with what the priest reads all the time. Today, however I read the first pages of Genesis. I'm beginning to think that I will soon feel more "Catholic" once I fully understand what the Bible is all about. Seriously, I have no idea what I'm doing calling myself a Catholic. I seldom go to mass and I don't pray. Anyway, so I read Genesis for the first time ever in my life and I'm proud to say that I now know what God was doing when he created the world.
To begin, I learned God began with light, then night and day, continuing with water, land and heaven, and finally, man. Ok, well I'm not that lost in general culture and I did know that this world was worth a week of creation. However, what really interested me the most was the order on which everything was created in. Light is one of the first things God creates "[3] And God said, Let there be light: and there was light.
[4] And God saw the light, that it was good: and God divided the light from the darkness". What makes this so relevant is because its almost as if since the beginning light has been a salvation, something that will bring good things your way. The way I see it, is that light allows people to see through the world. In a dark world, it is harder to get by and do as you please. As I mentioned before, I know very little about Christianity, but I do know that light plays a big role in Christian beliefs. It serves as inspiration, guidance, and set straight right from wrong. Obviously, God can't bring any life or creatures into this world without having the appropriate orders or suitable conditions. One of the most important things is knowing right from wrong, light from darkness. So, after thinking about it for a while, separating good from bad is actually, a good way to start the creation.
