Question Everything
Why are there 2 creation stories? How could God create the same thing twice? What is the point for Genesis 1 and 2????
in case no other LDS posters have been on here yet..there are two different creative periods:
- one in heaven “the generations of the heavens”
- one on earth
our spirits, everything in fact, was organized in heaven before it was placed onto the earth...
chapter 2 is discussing formation/organization in heaven, "the generations of heaven" before spirits were placed in the Earth… see vs 5. … first He forms Adam’s spirit, then He places the spirit in a formed body in Eden…
4 ¶ These are the generations of the heavens and of the earth when they were created, in the day that the LORD God made the earth and the heavens,
5 And every plant of the field before it was in the earth, and every herb of the field before it grew: for the LORD God had not caused it to rain upon the earth, and there was not a man to till the ground.
6 But there went up a mist from the earth, and watered the whole face of the ground.
7 And the LORD God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul.
8 And the LORD God planted a garden eastward in Eden; and there he put the man whom he had formed.
9 And out of the ground made the LORD God to grow every tree that is pleasant to the sight, and good for food; the tree of life also in the midst of the garden, and the tree of knowledge of good and evil.

God has created worlds without number.... I believe that a new world, or a new age as some would say, started here ~6,000 years ago when a new set of spiritual beings decended from heaven (from Eden) and joined this spiritually dead world.
