Maybe start at the beginning;
In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth.
And the earth was without form, and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters.
And God said, Let there be light: and there was light.
And God...
Funny part is, light exists during the day and night, just that some wavelengths are not visible.
Just as the night time of earth would not exist if both the sun and earth did not exist before. So technically, God would have had to make the sun before the light and the earth would already have...
OK, perhaps we can go over the word 'day' a little more. In the first instance, when God separated the light from the darkness, He did call the light day and the darkness he called night. Thank you for bringing it up. So on the first day, though, there was evening and there was morning, right...
The key is the 4th commandment. The creation of the earth is also within the 6 days.
For in six days the Lord made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that in them is, and rested the seventh day: wherefore the Lord blessed the sabbath day, and hallowed it. - Exo 20:11
Also note what Christ...
We all make mistakes. (We're imperfect...)
Going back to Genesis, it says in the first chapter: (King James Version)
"1In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth. 2And the earth was without form, and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God moved upon...
Here, you are creating a fantasy of your own making.
Genesis 2:1-4 is part of the Genesis 1 myth, while the rest of Genesis 2 (2:5-25) is a completely different creation myth, as there are inconsistencies and contradictions in the order of creation when you compare the two stories.
but I know...
Of course, each one will make up his mind about this. I see the Bible really indicates the 7th day of creation is not said to have ended while the other 6 days of creation had a beginning and an end. Not so the 7th day. It wasn't because the writers forgot to put it in, but because that 7th day...
Nope, I said what she said, because she is the expert. She is backing up all these ideas being discussed - "apologetics forces scripture to be monotheistic, the text is actually contradictory and inconsistent"
See for yourself. Your revisionary statements are false, as is most of your response...
Nonsense. Where does it say in the bible that the 7th day of the creation week has not ended? As posted earlier, according to the scriptures, in
Genesis 2:1-3 1, Thus the heavens and the earth were finished, and all the host of them. 2, And ON THE SEVENTH DAY GOD ENDED THE WORK WHICH HE HAD...
No it doesn't say the 7th day of creation has ended. Sorry. Look at it again. It says God rested from all the work he had made on the 7th day . Every other day has a beginning and end. Not the 7th day. What do you think it means that he rested? Did he need a break or vacation? Was he a bit tired...
I am being honest with you. As posted earlier, the seventh day of creation has ended.
Genesis 2:1-3 1, Thus the heavens and the earth were finished, and all the host of them. 2, And ON THE SEVENTH DAY GOD ENDED THE WORK WHICH HE HAD MADE; and he rested on the seventh day from all his work...
The evidence is that Genesis is a re-working of older Mesopotamian creation and flood myths. All historical scholars agree this is true.

The Mesopotamian origins the Genesis stories are responding to is consensus. I don't care if an unqualified internet amateur disagrees. I have proven my point long ago.
Even the Eden myth:

You've already been told countless times that abiogenesis isn't evolution. Why are you still acting as though it is?
Why can't you take in new information? Inquiring minds want to know.
Sorry, but now you are trying to reinterpret the Bible after the fact. It is better to think of the stories of Genesis as morality tales. None of them appear to have happened. There never was a flood of Noah. There never were only two people. God could have inspired it, but it...
I'm not talking about much right now except regarding the ToE. Because of course there are other questions. And so I was doing a little research about what scientists (hope these are not YECly people) believe about the early formation of life (not abiogenesis) on the earth: So here is what I...
There is a stark contrast between what you think, and what Bible writers knew... as stated by them.
Job spoke about the work of God's hands (Job 14:15)
David wrote about creation being the work of God's hands.
(Psalm 19:1) The heavens are declaring the glory of God; The skies above proclaim the...
