In this episode, we unpack Day 3 of creation from Genesis 1:9-13, when God causes the waters to gather, dry land to appear, and the Earth to bring forth vegetation. This is the first time in creation where life appears - rooted, reproductive and resilient.

We'll explore:

- The geological theory of Rodinia, a possible ancient supercontinent, and how it aligns with the biblical narrative of land appearing from the seas.

- Why the evidence for plant evolution remains scientifically weak - with no gradual fossil record and complex systems appearing fully formed

- The concept of a "3-day nature reset" - how studies show that spending just 3 days in nature results in mental and emotional renewal, and how this mirrors the emergence of life and order on Day 3.

Day 3 is about grounding - in the most literal and spiritual sense. God forms the Earth into something livable, fruitful, and good. And just like land and trees were the start of life on Earth, time in creation today can reset our minds and hearts. The land and trees of Day 3 don't just show us how Earth was formed - they show us what we still need. Whether it's order out of chaos, nourishment, or renewal through nature, God's design in creation continues to work in us.

" And God said, 'Let the water under the sky be gathered to one place, and let dry ground appear.' And it was so... Then God said, 'Let the land produce vegetation: seed-bearing plants and trees on the land that bear fruit with seed in it.' "
