Creation Moment 6/7/2025 - God has communicated the words of Genesis 1 in a specific manner, so that the interpreter could not miss His point

And God called the light Day, 

and the darkness 

He called Night. 

And the evening and the morning 

were the first day. 

Genesis 1:5

"Modern Young-Earth creation scientists cite numerous examples of fundamental constants and mathematical patterns found throughout Nature, such as the Golden Ratio, phi (φ), the Napierian logarithmic base "e," and the harmonic series, attributing their existence to a designer God.

Additionally, an analysis of the Flood dates as reported in Genesis

rendered similar time-interval ratios of the number "e." We show that the harmonic series’ step-wise output and Genesis Flood periods exhibit a high correlation to the Fibonacci Series, a well-known sequence of integers observed in Nature's design. We also found similar time-interval ratios approximating phi (φ) in plant phyllotaxis and planetary orbits. We conclude that the fundamental constants “e,” phi, and harmonic patterns observed in Nature are also seen in the Genesis Creation and Flood Accounts.

Physical Constants Embedded in Nature May Be the Fingerprint of a Creator Recently, Dr. Don DeYoung and the late Dr. Glen Wolfrom published a book, "Mathematics: The Language of Creation," in which many examples of mathematical patterns are given to illustrate a Creation imbued with inherent order giving credence to the existence of a Designer. 

With these, DeYoung states that "we are observing the Creator's fingerprint on His world" (DeYoung and Wolfrom, 2017, Loc.1069). According to DeYoung, "Several intriguing physical constants are embedded in nature…One might suggest that these numbers were selected by God to shape the fabric of creation" (DeYoung and Wolfrom, 2017, Loc. 418). One example they give is the base of natural or "Napierian" logarithms, most commonly referred to as "e," or Euler's Number. This fundamental constant is an irrational number and carries the approximate value e ≈ 2.7183.

Young Earth Creation movement has solidified around the literal meaning of "Day," and for a good reason. 

An in-depth literary analysis was done by the late Dr. Gerhard Hasel, of Andrews University, and he concluded that these were indeed literal days: "The author of Genesis 1 could not have produced more comprehensive and all inclusive ways to express the idea of a literal "day" than the ones that were chosen. There is a complete lack of indicators from prepositions, qualifying expressions, construct phrases, semantic-syntactical connections, and so on, on the basis of which the designation "day" in the creation week could be taken to be anything different than a regular 24-hour day." (Hasel, 1994).

James Stambaugh made an interesting point about the semantics of

the Creation account passage. It could be argued that God foreknew that this confusion would exist, and He phrased the Creation account in a repetitive, almost laborious manner on purpose: "God, through the 'pen' of Moses, is being redundant for redundancy's sake. God is going out of His way to tell us that the 'days' of Creation were literal solar days. He has used the word yôm and combined this with a number and the words' morning' and 'evening.' God has communicated the words of Genesis 1 in a specific manner, so that the interpreter could not miss His point. God could not have communicated the timing of creation more clearly than He did in Genesis 1." (Stambaugh, 1991)."
