Let There Be Light: And There Was Light


Genesis Chapters 1 and 2

While reading the first chapters of the Genesis, it immediately reminded me of Spring Break. Since it is such as special week, since it was Jesus death, there was a marathon of Catholic movies. There were such as The Bible, Great Stories of the Bible, The Day Jesus Died and the Passion of Christ. The Bible, directed Dino de Lauretis, could be the worse movie ever. Not mentioning this particular director is like the famous for being such a bad director.Since we only had two TV channels available, and both had the same movies, we had no other choice but to watch.

It all began, with the Genesis, with the " In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth".(Gen.1 1)Half an hour later, and it continued in the same stuff,as the earth and heavens were being created. Then,the narrator, with its extremely boring tone would say "And God said, Let there be light: and there was light".(Gen.1 3)

So it continued as Adam suddenly appeared since special effects were not good back in that time. " 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". (Gen.2 7)As mentioned before, the movie extremely old, so the music, and the translation which was in Spanish from Spain, was all mixed up in a series of weird sounds.

What I still don't get is, how did the earth and the heavens be created so easily? God says that he wants light, and he has light. How easy is that? It sounds like if life wouldn't be that complicated at all. I could even try " And let there no more homework or tests" but unfortunately, it will never happen.
