When Did God Create the Stars? Oct 7th 2011, 10:02 The Bible has contradictory accounts of when the stars were created. The first creation story in Genesis says that the stars were created on the fourth day, the day after the earth was created. Job, however, says that at the time the corner stone of the earth was laid, the stars already existed. So when exactly did God create the stars: before or after God created the earth? Genesis Account of God Creating the Stars Genesis 1:9-13; 16-19: And God said, Let the waters under the heaven be gathered together unto one place, and let the dry land appear: and it was so. And God called the dry land Earth; and the gathering together of the waters called he Seas: and God saw that it was good. ...And the evening and the morning were the third day. ... He made the stars also. And God set them in the firmament of the heaven. And God set them in the firmament of the heaven to give light upon the earth, And to rule over the day and over the night, and to divide the light from the darkness: and God saw that it was good. And the evening and the morning were the fourth day. Job Account of God Creating the Stars Job 38:4-7: Where wast thou when I laid the foundations of the earth? declare, if thou hast understanding. Who hath laid the measures thereof, if thou knowest? or who hath stretched the line upon it? Whereupon are the foundations thereof fastened? or who laid the corner stone thereof; When the morning stars sang together, and all the sons of God shouted for joy? Which story of when God created the stars is supposed to be correct? These Bible verses are contradictory because they can't both be true: either God created at least some stars first then the earth, or God created the earth first then all the stars. Is this a legitimate Bible contradiction or can the two Bible accounts of when the stars were created be harmonized? If you think you can resolve this Bible contradiction, explain how â€" but your solution cannot add anything new that's not already in the stories and cannot leave out any details that the Bible provides.
