In the above quote can be seen God had an Idea about He desired Light, it's differencing from Dark, labeling these as Day and Night. After each Idea the thing or state came to be or came into being. This, of course, according to these documents (Old Testament) as there were and are other documents attempting to describe these first few moments of Creative Ideation and Manifestation within and of the Mind of Diety. Creation was/is an act of Divine Will. There was the Divine Idea which came into form according to principles, laws and processes. This creative process, which never stops, is evolutionary in its process from Idea to Form. The great debate then is not either Creation or Evolution but how these two great forces work in concert to render all materiality and life on a continuous and never ending course through Time and Space.
"The mechanical principle by means of which power is expressed by the Creator is in the light waves of two-way motion which record His two-way thinking. Waves are two-way cycles which are divided equally to express the two desires of Mind to create form images of Mind imagining and to destroy those forms sequentially for reforming." [Russell, The Secret of Light, page 115]
"The will! The spiritual life, the essence of God itself!" Cayce (911-70)
PS: Mentioning "God" herein does not mean an anthropomorphic God as in a being created in Man's image. "God" herein means a creative, sympathetic Awareness or Consciousness as in:
"The eternally conscious entity - call it by whatever name we please - moves in cycles as eternal and infinite as itself; it oscillates and vibrates perpetually and is never unconscious of any present condition, be it pain or pleasure, joy or sorrow, shame or glory; like the pendulum of a clock or the sun, moon, or tides, it swings from the one to the other of these conditions, now in pleasure, now in pain, by its contact with the extremes of all varying conditions, like a child which throws up its head and laughing for joy exclaims, I KNOW I AM." [Keely, Dashed Against the Rock]
