    In Genesis the plants were created before the sun moon and stars

    Genesis 1 says the sun appeared on day 4 after the fruit trees which is after 200 million years. Genesis 1 is saying that things each only appeared on a specific day - no overlap. The only exception I think is the Garden of Eden which had plants appearing a bit later. It is generally science...

    No, once again it mentioned "the surface of the deep". That pretty much sounds like the ocean. The ocean was formed long after there was light. Your order is out of order.

    In Genesis the plants were created before the sun moon and stars

    If we assume for the sake of argument, that the days in Genesis were based on Relativistically time dilated frames of reference, where years on an earth reference, can pass in seconds during the BB, and also assume the science estimates of earth years are true, for each phase of universal...

    In Genesis the plants were created before the sun moon and stars

    Here's my belief - the bible is a collection of writings spanning thousands of years and by many different authors. It's not a science book or a history book - it's a collection of books of spiritual truths mainly. I don't know or care now the earth began to be completely honest. I believe...

    In Genesis the plants were created before the sun moon and stars

    Genesis 1:1 In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth. 2 Now the earth was formless and empty, darkness was over the surface of the deep, and the Spirit of God was hovering over the waters. 3 And God said, “Let there be light,” and there was light. 4 God saw that the light was good...

    In Genesis the plants were created before the sun moon and stars

    There are a lot of ideas about how to interpret Genesis 1 and 2. The Genesis creation story seemed like a history to me but it took a while for me to start seeing how the story can be historically reliable in a creative way and fit what science has discovered in a creative way.

    I do think you got that straight.

    In Genesis the plants were created before the sun moon and stars

    What about numbers for things that are clearly mentioned in Genesis 1 like the sun moon and stars, fruit trees, plants, birds, humans, etc.

    In Genesis the plants were created before the sun moon and stars

    If you are a Christian is Genesis 1 still literal - since it doesn't fit mainstream science.

    To test the faith of OECs and provide ammunition for non-OECs. This forum is in the debates area. Is your post which seems to discourage me being productive? Yes you’re right it was referring to procreation.

    The Irony of Creationist belief

    Genesis 1: "And God said, 'Let the land produce living creature'." Where does the Bible say that? Are you sure that this is the best translation? As far as i know you are wrong here Leviticus 19: Ye shall keep My statutes. Thou shalt not let thy cattle gender with a diverse kind; thou...

    The Irony of Creationist belief

    Perhaps you did not understand the Genesis 1 passage. Genesis 1 says:- Earth brought forth cretaures of all kinds in according to God's will. (see the translation of NRSVUE above) Evolutionary Biology says:- Evolution through natural selection (nature is earth only) gives rise to (ie brings...

    In Genesis the plants were created before the sun moon and stars

    But why? Have you scanned the Evolution Vs Creationism directory? Did you find anything that led you to believe the thread would be productive? The one thing that is absolutely clear in Genesis 1 -- irrespective of translation -- is that when God said be fruitful and multiply it was not...

    Just clarifying my position: I am not, nor any other Jehovah's witness is, a YEC (Young Earth Creationist).

    Oh. I see. Thank you.

    In Genesis the plants were created before the sun moon and stars

    Old earth creationists think that Genesis 1 fits mainstream science really well but not so much.... see post #146.

    In Genesis the plants were created before the sun moon and stars

    We all live in God's creation. We can see that it works. If the Bible record of how it was done doesn't conform to what we understand about orders of operation, we are still living in God's creation, and we can still see that it works. I guess I don't understand; it seems like this thread...

    In Genesis the plants were created before the sun moon and stars

    You should look into how we know that the Earth is billions of years old. Unless you want to claim that God is a liar. If God cannot lie Genesis cannot be read literally.

    In Genesis the plants were created before the sun moon and stars

    A magazine published by our Goberning body in 1990 says: "Some dinosaurs (and pterosaurs) may indeed have been created in the fifth era listed in Genesis, when the Bible says that God made “flying creatures” and “great sea monsters.” Perhaps other types of dinosaurs were created in the sixth...
