When did time as we know it begin on planet earth ?



When did time as we know it begin on planet earth ?
The twenty four hour day as we know it began when earth had it's first evening and it's first morning.

Notice the universe was created in the beginning for we are told in The Holy Bible in Genesis 1:1 that the heaven and earth were created in the beginning.

The moon, stars and planets are part of the heavens and the heaven was made in the beginning so we know that the universe was created by GOD in the beginning. { see Genesis 1:1 }.

When did time as we know it begin on planet earth ?

Time as we know it began on earth when GOD said " Let there be Light : and there was Light". { See Genesis 1:3}.

As we read on we find that GOD then separated Light from darkness and the evening and the morning were the first day.

On planet earth we measure time on a 24 four clock that includes day and night. Time is said to be relative. Since time is relative then it is important to see the starting point of the 24 hour day on earth as we know it.

It is important to note that in our solar system, the length of what we call day and night time on other planets in our solar system and other solar systems is not the same or similar to the twenty four day on planet earth as we know it.

In Genesis 1:1 we see that the heavens and the earth were created.

In Genesis 1:2 we see that earth was in darkness.

In the remaining verses of Genesis Chapter 1 we see that the phrase evening and morning is mentioned six times.

The first six twenty four hour days of planet earth are mentioned in Genesis Chapter One as follows :-

1st Day - Genesis 1: 5
2nd Day - Genesis 1:8
3rd Day - Genesis 1:13
4th Day - Genesis 1: 19
5th Day - Genesis 1:23
6th Day - Genesis 1:31
