    Kinda like the "sola scriptura" bloke who has to invent an extra "sun" to"explain" how there were "evenings" and "mornings" before the real sun was created. Homey is full-on sola until it threatens his denominational doctrinal presuppositions, at which point he adds stuff to the Creation...

    As far as you know, could be. But I trust your lot can easily fix them just be inserting stuff that the writer of Genesis left out. Like your hitherto unknown sun that existed before the sun created on the 4th day. Right? I mean, if the Bible refuses to conform to your "sola scriptura ;)"...

    Evolution conflict and division

    Gross over simplication. Some of us believe that God used the natural forces that He designed and created to achieve His creation. It's usually presented as believing that God created everything with an airy wave of His hand, or if He did it as a matter of Grand Design, creating all the natural...

    Been over that, haven't we? Simply having light doesn't get you evenings and mornings. They require a sun, which according to Genesis wasn't created until Day 4. No good trying to jam in another "light source" providing evenings and mornings; it just isn't there. (You are at least claiming to...

    I don't believe there was either until the sun was created. It's what in a deed or other contract we'd call a "scrivener's error". No sun, no evening, and no morning. Your lot aggreee with that, hence your necessity of substituting another sun of your own creation.

    6,000 Years?

    Well, it just had to wait until your lot came along and correct the Genesis account with a "light source" that worked just like the as-yet-uncreated sun to provide the evenings and mornings the verses require. Gotta admire your creativity, you've saved the Bible from just being wrong...

    Better to just make up a "sun" that Scripture somehow never bothers to mention, right? (I'll bet y'all claim to be "sola Scriptura" too, don't you? Even if you have to help the Bible along along where it misses stuff :tonguewink:) You're hoist on your own petard there, OM. You can't make your...

    I.E., you have no idea at all how there could have been "an evening and a morning" where there was no sun. Surprise, surprise. You're just reciting your demonination's doctrine, which I value at precisely at the price charged. It is as St.Peter said - God's "days" aren't like ours. But I...

    Same here. All the young 'uns and their spouses and kids betook ourselves to Northern Cali for our last single niece's (from my wife's side, the full-on Koreans) wedding. She married a white geek boy which makes them a perfect match. With the poly-racial sho-nuf multi-cultural bunch in...

    Which leaves your lot the necessity of inventing said light source, since Scripture doesn't mention one. You also have to make it of a size and magnitude and distance from the Earth so that it gives you the required 24 hour "day". In other words, you have to invent a pre-sun sun that...

    Yep. It's a king-all net scraper, and a grand successor to the old search engines. But God help you if you expect more than that, It;s still a software program running on a computer (OK, lots of computers).

    The lack of a sun for the first three days of Creation make those "evenings" and "mornings" problematic, don't you think? (And just for entertainment porpoises, how long are "evenings" and "morning" at the earth's poles? ) s Nice try, but nothing has made God allegorical, just the "days" of...

    An evening and a morning, as I recall. Which works great when you have a sun, and assuming that the earth's orbit was a a settled decision after the sun was installed. And no, the mere existence of light doesn't suffice for the measurement of time unless you're using light's speed, and not the...
