algae ARE plants...
giving off oxygen is a function of photosynthesis... by definition, any organism that photosynthesises is a plant

algae ARE plants...Actually, I'm pretty sure algae give off more oxygen than plants.

yes, plants where on the land before animals... what we call the "carboniferous period" is from the period when the land was populated by plants and they became coal... long before terestrial animalsIn terms of green, leafy sorts of plants or grasses (kinda the layperson's definition of plant), do you know whether they came along before or after animals made it up onto land? I still suspect they came before, else what would the herbivores eat?
No, plants occupied the land first. There is good fossil evidence for the evolution of land plants during the early Silurian Period. Some argue for an earlier evolution during the Ordovician Period, but this evidence is more controversial.The sun has existed at least as long as the earth, and plants haven't been around for all that long at all, in the grand scheme of things - they evolved after animals colonized the land, if I recall.
You are correct, sir. Flowering plants evolved late, during the Cretaceous.You mean flowering plants, right? Because surely plants in general were around before land animals, who would need the oxygen produced by photosynthesis.
In terms of total oxygen production, you are correct. Most oxygen today is produced by algae. That is because there is such a large biomass of algae in the oceans.Actually, I'm pretty sure algae give off more oxygen than plants.
True, algae are members of the Plant Kingdom. It is not true, however, that only plants photosynthesize. Some bacteria, such as cyanobacteria (or "blue-green algae," which are not really algae at all) and purple photosynthetic bacteria make use of photosynthesis as well.algae ARE plants...

Yes, they came first, and were followed by scorpions and insects.In terms of green, leafy sorts of plants or grasses (kinda the layperson's definition of plant), do you know whether they came along before or after animals made it up onto land?

From one of your own on one of these threads we go back and forth on. They came right and told me that atheists were amoral (not immoral).
Yes, true... but not wishing to get TOO technical... anything that utilises chlorophyl for photosynthesis is a plant...True, algae are members of the Plant Kingdom.

More evidence.....

No it doesn't say that at all, it said that the light from the heavens was put in the earth's atmosphere on the fourth day.For starters, it says the Earth came before the Sun. The evidence shows that to be false.
Nope, refer to above statement.Originally Posted by Skaloop
Then it says that there were plants before there was the Sun. The evidence shows that to be false.
nope. Just this particular group of whales and birds, there could have been other groups created and died off far before this creation week. This creation week is not explicitly stated in the Bible as the only iteration of creation, there is room for others.Originally Posted by Skaloop

Once again, it doesnt say that stars were embedded in the "firmament"(atmosphere), it only says that the light from those stars were put in the heavens. The light was always there, but perhaps it had been shielded from the earth, maybe a meteor had hit the earth previously (mexico?) and shielded the atmosphere from light.Originally Posted by Skaloop
It also says that there was light before there was the Sun or stars, that the stars are embedded in a firmament above the Earth, and that there was water above this firmament. The evidence shows this to be false.

"Let there be lights in the firmament of the heaven to divide the day from the night..." Gen 1:14
The sun already had existed according to Gen.1:1
"In the beginning God created the heavens and earth"
In that verse the "heavens" were mentioned before the earth.
Light was added on the 4th day of that particular dispensation, there could have been something covering the atmosphere that would let light in, some type of gas or cloud...
Light was added to the atmosphere the fourth day, NOT the sun, there is a big difference.

The water "above the firmament" is the water contained in clouds. Its as simple as that. The firmament itself is the lower atmosphere.
I dont have enough of a post count to post images yet(I need 100), so here is a url:

Hopefully someone with over 100 posts will be kind enough to put it here so everyone can see it, I slaved hard over a paint program to create it.
So the next few paragraphs will reference this chart in the above URL.
As can be seen from Kimura's curve
natural selection works on the level of the nucleotide, NOT the organism level.
There is also a reaon why the curve never makes it to the actual 0 point but it is mathematical and I dont know what it is right now.

right... so later in Genesis when it talks about God opening the windows in the firmament to let the water through to cause the flood... hmmm... maybe you want to rethink your previousThe water "above the firmament" is the water contained in clouds.
