You can tell the difference between a chatbot response and a Diamond7 response.This would have been more fun before chat bots.
Now mr. user @Diamond7 do you actually understand what you copied and pasted into the reply box? I do. (And I did before you posted. Decades before.)
I am rubber you are glue, bounces off of me and sticks to you.A rather silly petulant comment.
So the discussion is about the firmament. Actually, I do not care what you do, interpret it any way you want.Let there be lights in the firmament
This is very point I was making in post #181.I am rubber you are glue, bounces off of me and sticks to you.
You on the other hand suffering severely from the DK effect when confronted by your own limitations resort to immature snarky comments instead of taking the opportunity of learning from others in this forum.I apologize if my previous responses came across as condescending or if I made any incorrect assumptions about your level of understanding. As a language model, I am trained to provide explanations and additional context for a wide range of audiences. My goal is to assist users with accurate and informative responses, but I understand that my explanations may not always align with an individual's specific knowledge or understanding.
I assure you that I will always try my best to understand the context of the question and provide the most accurate and helpful answer possible. However, if there is any confusion or inaccuracies in my responses, please let me know so that I can correct them.
So the discussion is about the firmament. Actually, I do not care what you do, interpret it any way you want.
If you look at this as a metaphor or allegory, no one seems to care what the length of a day is. The order of the events basically agrees with science. Although people may come up with something minor as to what came first the birds or fish and things like that. Science seems to have the order of events all figured out with the recent discovery of DNA.
Doesn't the earth exist (in day 1) before the Sun or other stars? That's very wrong. The Earth formed shortly after the Sun and other stars existed for ~9 billion years before either.
Specifically, I challenged you notion that Gen 1 matched science and did so using only cosmology and astronomy and nothing else. That's why I said "I don't need DNA", because I don't to counter the Gen 1 cosmological claims.
There are not very many words here. We are talking about the "lights in the firmament". We already had a discussion about the physics of light. Light is filtered and light is reflected.
Well, the "firmament" doesn't exist, so this isn't a good argument.
That tells us a LOT about you. If you do not understand something, rather than to figure it out, you just claim it does not exist. Problem solved.
We are not talking about cosmology we are talking about lights in the firmament. So now when I say the sky is blue. You says what sky, there is no sky, the sky does not exist. There is nothing to be blue about.
If you claim this "firmament" exists, what exactly is it? And what are those "lights"?
(I ask because you seem to be rejecting the notion that the lights are the stars.)
The sky is not blue because light is filtered, it is blue due to Rayleigh scattering.
Returning from your kindergarten jabs we get a non-physical metaphorical non-answer about the firmament:Congrats, you just flunked your preschool readiness test.
Before finally you respond to the identity of the firmament as:The firmament, then, represents a spiritual challenge that must be overcome in order to reach this state of unity. The literal represents the divine.
My sarcastic response after waiting for so many posts to get an answer:The atmosphere.
Because, there clearly isn't any star or moon in the atmosphere.Oh, the atmosphere!
Well then those lights in the firmament, they must just be alien space craft.
That's cool, man, but it means that the "lights in the firmament" are formed in the wrong order relative to reality.
The reason the sky is blue is because of the atmosphere or the old word firmament.
You need to do a study on what a YOD is.
Do you know the physics of light? If you do that what effect does our atmosphere have on the light from stars?
There is no discussion.Though part of the problem with the discussion
If you are not a spirit-filled Christian then you are carnal and you are not going to understand the Bible and the things of God.Your reaction is to claim I reject because I don't understand.
Then you insist that I need to know about a specific Hebrew letter
Are you saying that you don't ?Chatbot at least has the "dignity" of admitting its limitations........
The Phoencians were also Semetic speaking people. They were probably just the Canaanites living on the northern coastal area of Canaan. (North of Isreal, Judea, and Philistia)In fact phonics comes from the Phonicians not the Semetic. Hebrew is a Semitic language.
It would seem, not with you. It is exceedingly difficult to communicate with you.There is no discussion.
I don't think being an intoxicated Christian is necessary to understand the relatively simple facts given in Genesis 1 about stars, the Sun and Moon, and their location and formation.If you are not a spirit-filled Christian then you are carnal and you are not going to understand the Bible and the things of God.
"is" and "before"? Pick a tense and stick with it. (Most Babylonians spoke their own language, not the language of the exiled Hebrews.)Hebrew is real and pure before all the confusion at Babylon.
I believe during the 1,000 year reign of Christ that you will need to know the alphabet before you can start the first grade.
That what is our letter "A" evolved from what was once a pictogram for cattle is interesting, but does not impact how the letter is pronounced or the meaning of words that contain it.Today you can have a PhD in education and still not know that the alphabet is symbolic not just phonic.
Phonics is a system for teaching children how to read. It comes from the mid 20th century about two millennia after the Phoenicians were conquered by the Romans.In fact phonics comes from the Phonicians not the Semetic. Hebrew is a Semitic language.
Science does not tell us this. This is a claim from the bible.Science tells us even at the time of Eden 6,000 years ago in Ancient Mesopotamia there were two people and two language.
Not sure why you wrote this, but I'm definitely not making any claims about the consistency of the Bible, not even within the same book.Actually the Bible tells us the same when Cain said: "I must wander around on the earth, and anyone who meets me can kill me.” Genesis 4:13 Who would kill Cain if he was the only one alive? Clearly there were people alive other than Adam and Eve and their son Cain.
So now you have to resort to blatant flaming.Are you saying that you don't ?
Don't tell me you misspelt Phonicians (should be Phoenicians), saw the word phonics and therefore concluded Phoenician cannot be a Semitic language; amazing absolutely amazing.In fact phonics comes from the Phonicians not the Semetic.....
Because you disregard what I put a lot of work into. There is simply no reason for me to answer your questions. At least I can thing of any advantage in it for me.It is exceedingly difficult to communicate with you.
I have put hundreds of hours into the study of what science says about the neolithic revolution. You do not appear to have even put 100 seconds into it. You think you can go after an elephant with a fly swatter.Science does not tell us this. This is a claim from the bible.
I know a lot more about it than you do. I simply let the chatbot do the writing for me because it is a lot faster and a lot easier than doing it myself. I usually disregard most of what you say because you are so disrespectful. I throw a few crumbs your way, but that is about all your going to get out of me, with your attitude.you don’t have the vaguest comprehension of the subject matter
The questions you feed into chat bots? I'm sorry that just isn't really "a lot of work".Because you disregard what I put a lot of work into. There is simply no reason for me to answer your questions. At least I can thing of any advantage in it for me.

That is what I said. I use the chat bot to write for me so I do not have to put a lot of work into this.I'm sorry that just isn't really "a lot of work".
Why did you hijack the thread in an attempt to get it to fit your ideology?This thread isn't about the neolithic revolution.

Who are you trying to kid?I know a lot more about it than you do. I simply let the chatbot do the writing for me because it is a lot faster and a lot easier than doing it myself. I usually disregard most of what you say because you are so disrespectful. I throw a few crumbs your way, but that is about all your going to get out of me, with your attitude.
I am not trying to KID anyone. You think God can be tricked and fooled? God used HEBREW to create the universe. That is why we can use language to understand what HE did. If you think this is all one big random event of mistakes and mutations then clearly you are the one that is fooled and had denied their maker.Who are you trying to kid?
You have the PhD. Why would you need answers from a high school drop out?My "ideology"? I'm just trying to get you to answer a simple question about Gen 1.
Irrelevant to the point.I believe one-third will be saved. But when you add in the aborted babies it becomes more than half or a majority of all people. Only too bad that a lot of their parents will not make it to heaven to be reunited with their children.
