Thanks for the reply, but Adam was never taken out of the Ground of Eden, nor Eve. but God planted these trees in eden, and put the man he formed in the Garden of Eden. so Eden seems to be separated from the EARTH Ground .
also plants and trees with grasses was already introduced on DAY 3 after...
Creationists do not use it that way unless it is convenient to do so. For instance, they claim that there is a "cat kind" even though the assorted species of cats are not all cross fertile.
I would assume - based on the subject matter of the text - that the word "kind" would refer to those creations that could mate with each other or otherwise reproduce.
"And the earth brought forth grass, and herb yielding seed after his kind, and the tree yielding fruit, whose seed was in...
There is a big difference between a dictator and God! God made his goodness known from the beginning, as the Creator. His creation was a positive act, and one that God saw as 'good' [Genesis1:12, 21, 25] There has never been reason to describe God's work as anything less than just and right...
sure, man/Adam was formed on day 3. supportive scripture, Genesis 2:4 "These are the generations of the heavens and of the earth when they were created, in the day that the LORD God made the earth and the heavens," Genesis 2:5 "And every plant of the field before it was in the earth, and every...
Prue, I've called you out on this before, but taking the Biblical Genesis account and removing everything that doesn't fit and then manipulating and over-simplfying what's left is dishonest.
You need to stop doing this. If the Bible was truly accurate, you would just copy and paste the passages...
But people do not merely draw lines on paper. One must be able to justify those lines. There are countless fossils that allow us to trace the various lineages back through time.
And the ideas of science are testable and confirmable. If you can't think of a way to reasonably test the...
Moving on in the video, I think Aron and Kent both make excellent points. First Aron says that he thinks we should both start from not believing anything and just review the possibilities. That's what I'm trying to do here.
Kent makes the point which I've made in this thread, more or less...
I explained your errors. You merely repeated them.
And you do not know the meaning of the word hypothesis either. What reasonable test could possibly refute any of your ideas?
You see? There. That. When you have something to say other than that we can carry on. If my arguments are moronic then show me the error other than simply saying that I must think like you. I'll show you in a hypothetical example.
Hypothetical Earthling: The Bible constitutes a kind as anything...
Another perfect example of extrapolating from the text while ignoring all of the parts that don't fit. Let's make this absolutely crystal clear:
1 In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth.
(Pretty straight-forward.)
2 And the earth was without form, and void; and darkness was...
Here is my viewpoint:
2 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.
Comment: The proto-sun had not begun to shine. The earth was shrouded in a dense atmosphere of dust and water caused by meteors...
You're missing the point of this part of Genesis, as St. John Chrysostom explains: God is the source of life and crop growth, not the sun. You are no doubt aware that pagan cultures around the world worshiped the sun as a god responsible for life on earth. The creation story of Genesis subverts...
Please note that light appeared on the first day. That light could only come from the sun. The "lights" were not 'created' on the third day, but God said, "let there be lights....to divide the day from the night; and let them be for signs and seasons, and for days and years".....Since the...
Everything regarding reading the Bible is our opinions. Some opinions however are better informed than others.
I would say of course yes. But I am working from the context of modern scholarship, not scholarship that starts with the premise the Bible is flawless and without errors. That premise...

I do not understand how your response answered the question, “what is their meaning”? It seems to me to be your opinion relative to Genesis 1. Would you say other linguistic and Bible scholars would disagree with you? Just as an example,
“The earth brought forth vegetation...

Artie, you are willing to believe in aliens, asteroid and gods for the explanation of life on this planet. There is no definitive answer by any of them except this one written by the one who actually created everything we know to exist. If you have a better explanation please offer it, but for...
