The 7 days of Creation
described in the ancient Bibles
are probably like
« seven millennia », or even more,
of those which we count

Some Sacred Books, issued from very ancient oral traditions, such as the Torah, the Christian Bible or the Popol Vuh, narrate the World Creation and explain how our planet was terraformed at that time. The Torah and the Bible narrate, in Genesis, that World Creation and Terraforming have been completed in Seven Days. It is clear that the number Seven is symbolic here and that these Days of Creation have nothing to do with our little human week excepted to give it a social foundation: six days of work and a day of rest.

All specialists of the terraforming speak about duration of several millennia, or even tens of millennia... Very serious studies are made today by the man of the 21st century in order to terraform the planet Mars. The purpose is to colonize the planet after a terraforming duration in the range of 10 to 20,000 years.

Planet Mars as we see it through our space probes
IN THE BEGINNING

One day, as the ancient Bibles say, the Group of Creators have found the Earth planet void and without form, on the place of chaos. What chaos? What could have been the aspect of the Earth in the beginning? It might be a result of a cosmic cataclysm as described by Velikovsky in his books.

One can actually ask the question, if we do the comparizon between the Earth in the beginning and the present aspect of Mars. On this last planet, this chaos provoked, perhaps, by some cosmic cataclysms in a distant past, would be at the origin of Olympus Mons, a giant volcano of 21 km high and 550 km in diameter, the largest of the solar system, and of Valles Marineris, a gigantic trench, 5000 km long, 120 km wide and 11 km deep.

Here is what the Popol-Vuh tells us about this period BEFORE the appearance of life on Earth : « This is the account of how all was in suspense, all calm, in silence; all motionless, still, and the expanse of the sky was empty... There was neither man, nor animal, birds, fishes, crabs, trees, stones, caves, ravines, grasses, nor forests;...there was only the sky... ». The space probes, sent to Mars, gave us image (on left) of a bleak, inhospitable world, apparently unable to bear life. The Popol Vuh gives an identical vision of the Earth in the beginning, before the Creation.

On Mars planet, a cosmic cataclysm in a distant past, would be at the origin of the gigantic trench of Valles Marineris
FIRST DAY

The Group of Creators restores the light on the surface of the planet during the First Day. The sky was probably obscured by the dust due to the cosmic cataclysm.

In the Bible, Genesis explains this action : « 1:3 - And Elohims said : Let there be light: and there was light. 1:4 - And Elohims divided the light from the darkness. 1:5 - And Elohims called the light « Day », and the darkness « Night ». And the evening and the morning were the First Day.

The Popol Vuh tells the same thing : « L1:C1:P10 - Then Tepeu and Gucumatz came together; then they conferred about life and light, what they would do so that there would be light and dawn. L1:C1:P11 - Thus they spoke : « ...Let there be light, let there be dawn in the sky and on the earth! ».

It is necessary to create an atmospheric dome to trap solar heat and promote life
SECOND DAY

To terraform a planet, it is necessary to create an atmospheric dome to trap solar heat and promote life. And so did the Group of Creators « 1:7- And Elohim(s) made the dome and divided the waters under the dome from the waters which were above the dome and it was so.

1:8 - And Elohim(s) called the dome « Heaven ». And the evening and the morning were the Second Day.

The new atmosphere warms the planet
THIRD DAY

The new atmosphere warms the planet and, due to greenhouse effect, will melt residual ices turning them all into water. Water spreads on the surface of the planet, and a vast ocean covers a large part of it. The addition of water and heat to Earth environment allowed to make this dry and cold world generate life.

And Elohim(s) said : « 1:9 - Let the waters under the heaven be gathered together unto one place, and let the dry land appear; and they called the dry land « Earth »; and the gathering together of the waters « Seas ».

The atmosphere was purified on the planet.
FOURTH DAY

A sufficiently dense atmosphere and water in abundance allowed the development of life on Earth. Furthermore, a thick atmosphere provided effective protection against solar radiation.

The atmosphere was purified on the planet. During the night, stars could be seen in the sky. The day is separated from the night. « 1:14 to 19 - And Elohim(s) said : Let there be lights in the dome of the heaven to divide the day from the night; and let them be for signs, and for seasons, and for days, and years. ».

Through genetic manipulation, the Group of Creators filled the sky and waters with living creatures
FIFTH DAY

Through genetic manipulation, the Group of Creators filled the sky and waters with living creatures and planned the Creation. The growth of trees and thickets, the emergence of life, food and sustenance of animals, all was under control... « 1:20 to 23 - And Elohim(s) said : Let the waters bring forth an abundance of living creatures, and fowl that may fly above the earth in the dome of heaven. And Elohim(s) created great sea creatures, and every living creature that moveth, which the waters brought forth in abundance, after their kind, and every winged fowl after its kind; and Elohim(s) saw that it was good. And Elohim(s) blessed them, saying : Be fruitful, and multiply, and fill the waters in the seas, and let fowl multiply in the earth. And the evening and the morning were the Fifth Day.

The Earth has become a real paradise.
SIXTH DAY

The Earth has become a real Paradise. The Peopling of the Earth continues with the creation of all mammals. The Group of Creators continues the genetic manipulation : « 1:24 - And the Elohims said : that from this land comes soul of life after its kind, every living creature after their kind; and it was so. And they said: 1:26- Let Us make man in our own image; and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth. 1:27 - And they created humankind in their own image : in the image of Elohim(s) they created them : male and female they created them. The Popol Vuh tells the same thing.

Thus the heavens and the earth were completed.
SEVENTH DAY

The Bible says that on the Seventh Day, the Group of Creators rested : « 2:1 - Thus the heavens and the earth were completed, and all their hosts. And the Elohim(s) saw every thing made, and, behold, it was saw that it was very good.

2:2 - Thus the heavens and the earth were completed, and all their hosts. By the seventh day Elohim(s) completed their work which they had done, and they rested on the seventh day from all their work which they had done.

2:3 - Then Elohim(s) blessed the seventh day and sanctified it, because in it they rested from all their work which they had created and made.

2:4 - This is the account of the heavens and the earth when they were created, in the day that the Elohim(s) made earth and heaven.

The Popol Vuh narrates : « L1:C1:P16 - First the earth was formed, the mountains and the valleys; the currents of water were divided, the rivulets were running freely between the hills, and the water was separated when the high mountains appeared.

L1:C1:P17 - Thus was the earth created, when it was formed by the Heart of Heaven, the Heart of Earth, as they are called who first made it fruitful, when the sky was in suspense, and the earth was submerged in the water.

As the Torah or the Christian Bible, the Popol-Vuh relates the story of Creation. The narrative of Earth Creation is strangely similar in the three Books, but the description of « terraforming » seems more poetic in the Popol-Vuh than in the Torah.

In both cases, the texts tell about a « Group of Creators » and not only a single Creator: the Elohims in the Torah, and the Creator, the Maker, Tepeu, Gucumatz, the Forefathers in the Popol-Vuh.
