What does worship have to do with science?

Let's be clear: The earth did not start out covered with ice as you recently claimed.

You are looking at two different studies, the earth in the beginning and the snowball earth theory. They are not the same.

According to a new, Harvard-led study, geochemical calculations about the interior of the planet's water storage capacity suggests Earth's primordial ocean 3 to 4 billion years ago may have been one to two times larger than it is today, and possibly covered the planet's entire surface.

Snowball Earth hypothesis, in geology and climatology, an explanation first proposed by American geobiologist J.L. Kirschvink suggesting that Earth's oceans and land surfaces were covered by ice from the poles to the Equator during at least two extreme cooling events between 2.4 billion and 580 million years ago.

I am just responding to what you are saying. If you want to go deeper into a subject then we will bring out more information about it.

I explain this a lot. My brother has a Ph.D. in Psychology. He wrote his dissertation on a preschool readiness test. My dad was a pediatrician and he used my brother's test to test his patients to see if they were ready for school. Two of the questions on the test were what color is grass and what color is the sky. I have a copy of it around here somewhere. There were a total of five questions. There is a lot more to it, but that is enough for now.

Since you want to bring psychology into the picture as a diversion tactic when I asked you to explain the mechanism of why the sky is blue, it indicates a lack of critical thinking skills on your part.

If the atmosphere acts as a filter and only allows blue light through as you claim, then the Earth’s surface will be illuminated by blue light.
It would mean grass which has a green colour because it only reflects green light and absorbs all other colours in the spectrum would end up being black as the green light would have been absorbed by the atmosphere.
Logic alone indicates why the sky is blue cannot be explained as a filtering mechanism.

Here is an in depth scientific explanation of why the sky is blue as caused by Rayleigh scattering.

why the sky is blue, it indicates a lack of critical thinking skills on your part.

I would just google an answer. The reason the sky is blue is because of the atmosphere or the old word firmament. There are two color theories additive and subtractive. The grass is green because the light is reflected. The sky is blue because light is filtered. Reflection or refraction.

The reason why the sky appears blue is due to the scattering of sunlight by the Earth's atmosphere. As light from the sun enters the atmosphere, it collides with gas molecules and scatters in all directions. Blue light, which has a shorter wavelength and higher energy than other colors, is scattered more than other colors, giving the sky its blue color. This phenomenon is known as Rayleigh scattering.

Did you even bother to look at the video on Rayleigh scattering or was it beyond your capacity for understanding?

The second paragraph of your response is clearly parroted without comprehension as it contradicts the first paragraph.
Rayleigh scattering has nothing to do with the filtering of light.
As I explained to you if this was the case only blue light would reach the surface and grass would have a black appearance as there is no green light reflected which gives grass its colour.
Stop trying to con people in blindly quoting google and passing it off as a qualified response.

If "firmament" is "atmosphere" and the stars are embedded in the firmament, then that verse is wrong as the stars are not within the atmosphere. Either firmament is not atmospehre, or the stars aren't embedded in it.

An incoherent response from an individual who can't differentiate between presentation and accuracy content of a chatbot.

chatbot.

You do not understand the chatbot? That seems unusual because of the billion of dollars that have gone into making artificial intelligence coherent. But I do know what you mean. Alexa can be a real idiot. Perhaps you would be better off to stay with Bixby and not switch over to Bing if your having trouble understanding GPT. I just bought some Microsoft stock and it has already gone up $1200. So I know they are doing good now. Bill Gates is finally going after Google to get back some of the business they took away from him. But this is an open playing field. So if you do not like Bing you can always stay with Google.

You need to do a study on what a YOD is. How a little represents a lot. God confused the language at the tower of Bible. But we are about to enter into the Kingdom age and our understanding of Hebrew is being renewed.

I'm mostly replying to what *you* wrote, quoted, etc. plus what is written in my bible (from which the translators have apparently scrubbed "firmament"). There are no "YOD"s in my bible.

My post was a 17 word response (“An incoherent response from an individual who can't differentiate between presentation and accuracy content of a chatbot.”) and you decided to write an entire post based on the word “chatbot”.
You could have employed the same level of ridiculousness and picked any other word in my post to respond to such as “a” or ”an” or “differentiate” to name a few.

You may live in an alternate universe divorced from reality where responding to a single word in a post is OK, but in the real universe where I exist I don’t use chatbots full stop.

 

[Diamond72]

“a” or ”an”

you use an before a vowel.

 

[Diamond72]

There are no "YOD"s in my bible.

Yod is a letter in the Hebrew alphabet. The letter "yod" appears in many words throughout the Old Testament, including in the names of people and places. Yod would be equivaient to our letter J.

 

[sjastro]

Are you that ignorant to think the letter i in the word incoherent is a not a vowel.
Get your yourself an education and cut out the trollish behaviour.

 

[Diamond72]

Are you that ignorant

I am pretty sure this is a violation of the rules.

You need to stop replying to just single words and minute phrases in people's posts. It's very rude.

There still aren't any "YOD"s in my bible. "YOD"s don't allow you to slip out from the firmament=atmosphere (where there are not stars) problem you walked into.
