Genesis was right?!

The formation of earth did not start with atom. It started with space dust. The dust and debris are much bigger and are much easier to make aggregates by gravity attraction. Before the hydrogen atoms started to form a spherical sun, meteorites, moons and planets might have already been formed. The sun might be the last to form in the solar system.

First of all, the forming planets need a sun to orbit, or the dust that goes into forming them would just dissipate in space.

Secondly, the dust cloud has everything forming at about the same time, but since the center of it has a great deal more mass, it collapses to form the sun before the planets have completed forming.

Thirdly, the presence of rocky planets in close to the sun and gas planets further out shows that solar wind played a part in planet formation.

Take it one at a time:

No. The gas cloud (Nebula) does not need a center mass in order to rotate. Just like a galaxy does not need a center mass for its rotation. For the solar system, it might be a disk-shape cloud. Aggregation could take place at any place in the disk.

Couldn't have said it better myself ;) ^^.

Look, I am not a physicist neither an astronomer. Unlike others, I don't want to debate on this issue with just a skin-deep understanding. All I am doing here is to provide an argument that there is no reason to assume that the sun NEEDS to be formed before the planets. If you can not overwhelmingly convince me on this issue, then my point stands. The creation account on the Day 4 is not obviously wrong, and it could be right.

None from me.

Find it yourself.

You want ME to find evidence to support your claims? HA! That's rich! You make a claim, it's up to you to support that claim. Don't expect me to do your homework for you. I'm not your mum.

If you can't provide it, we'll just take it that you are wrong.

No. The gas cloud (Nebula) does not need a center mass in order to rotate. Just like a galaxy does not need a center mass for its rotation. For the solar system, it might be a disk-shape cloud. Aggregation could take place at any place in the disk.

Support this claim. If it is rotating, what point is it rotating around?

Lol, I'm sorry for the misleading title and anyone who's been following my posts knows I put absolutely no stock in the in historical accuracy of the bible. But... with a very liberal reinterpretation of Genesis and if I take into account some of the ignorance of the people who wrote it I think you'll find what follows very interesting :) .


Okay, so there's genesis 1. Now taking into account for a moment that we can't take any of this literally and we even have to reword and and even reorder much of this, it isn't actually that far off. Allow me to demonstrate...




Okay, now remember to throw out the whole six day thing, reorder accordingly and you're good. Notice I didn't delete anything... it's just out of order, and some things needed to be interpreted different or explained deeper... but that doesn't mean it's necessarily "wrong".

People have been interpreting the bible for thousands of years and even taking votes on it's contents. Now, you may still interpret it literally, as long as you know it's in the wrong order slightly and that this whole process took billions and billions and billions of years... not days. Otherwise, it actually is fairly accurate.
I think it is YOU who is "inaccurate". Not God.

Wrong! Without a gravitational source at the centre any rotating gas or star cluster or Galaxy will be affected by centrifugal forces that will spread everything out. Galaxies rotate about a centre point simply because they have supermassive black holes at their centres.

You know, you really have to learn to stop posting slogans and post something a little bit more substantial. Like reasoning or evidence.
The Bible is not "slogans". It is God's word. Reasoning has gotten you into this horrible, fatal mess.

Ah yes let us forgo reason and revert back to a time where superstition and sheer ignorance and force rules our pitiful lives. :doh:

You said that you would be able to provide plenty of slogans if I wanted them.
No, I said Scripture.
Here's a tip, Dollarsbill. When posting, try to actually address a claim rather than simply spouting off a one-line, unsupported opinion. Try to add something to the discussion.
I usually do try.
