mazaje:

We can start on the very first page, the 7 day creation account is VERY false, the universe did NOT come about the way the bible said it was created in 7 days by Yahweh. .

The bible has never said the universe came about in 7 days. Can you point to any statement or verse that suggests that? The first part of Genesis indicates that the earth could have existed for billions of years before the first Genesis "day," though it does not say for how long. However, it does describe what earth's condition was just before that first "day" began.
Many consider the word "day" used in Gen. 1 to mean 24 hrs. However, in Gen. 1:5 God himself is said to divide day into a smaller period of time, calling just the light portion "day". In Gen.2:4 all the creative periods are called one "day":

"These are the generations of the heavens and of the earth when they were created , in the day (all the creative periods) that the LORD God made the earth and the heavens ," - Gen 2:4
The Hebrew word "yohm", translated "day", can mean different lengths of time. It would seem reasonable that the "day" of Genesis could likewise have embraced long periods of time - millenniums. The account indicates that the creative process continued throughout a period of, not just 144 hours (6 x 24), but over many millenniums of time.


.According to the bible the earth was in existence with water in it before all the stars were created, it says the earth was created before the sun,

"'Let light come to be.' Then there came to be light. And God began calling the light Day, but the darkness he called Night. And there came to be evening and there came to be morning, a first day."—Genesis 1:3, 5.
Gen. 1:3 does not announce the birth of the sun or other luminaries. The sun and moon were in outer space long before this first "day," but their light did not reach the surface of the earth for an earthly observer to see. Now, light evidently came to be visible on earth on this first "day," and the rotating earth began to have alternating days and nights.

Apparently, the light came in a gradual process, extending over a long period of time, not instantaneously as when you turn on an electric light bulb. The Genesis rendering by translator J. W. Watts reflects this when it says: "And gradually light came into existence." This light was from the sun, but the sun itself could not be seen through the overcast. Hence, the light that reached earth was light diffused.


it also says the sun and the moon were created on the same day. . .It says stars were being created to give light unto the earth. . .All these are VERY false. The sun and its gravitational force was actually what lead to the creation of the earth and all the other planets. . .Without the sun there would have been nothing in our solar system. . .The sun came first before every other thing in our solar system and it is what keeps the solar system together. . .The earth did NOT come before the sun. . .

On the first "day" diffused light evidently penetrated the swaddling bands, but the sources of that light (sun, other stars and the moon) could not have been seen by an earthly observer because of the cloud layers still enveloping the earth. Now, on this fourth "day," things apparently changed. Had there been an earthly observer, he would be able to discern the sun, moon and stars, which would "serve as signs and for seasons and for days and years." (Genesis 1:14) The moon would indicate the passing of lunar months, and the sun the passing of solar years. They were only visible, but not created on the fourth creative day.


Now we have very powerful telescopes like the Hubble space telescopes and the Kepler space telescopes, these space observatories have shown us how planets from other distant solar systems were created, the sun(star) always comes first, usually from a supernova, then the planets form afterward, its actually the sun's(star) gravitational pull on the surrounding dust and debris that creates the planets, these are things that can be seen. . .Many of the stars out there came into existence long before our own sun came into existence because many of them are older than our own sun which is also a star, unlike the bible that falsely states that the earth was created before the stars and the stars were created to give light to the earth, the stars are also suns and many have earth like planets revolving round them, and they number in trillions of billions and were not created to give light to the earth, just like the earth was not created to give light to any other earth like plant in our galaxy take the earth away and the universe will still remain the way it is. .
.Even the best christian apologist have now relegated the genesis creation account into the realm of mythology, they now regard at as an allegory, because of observable evidence, when the genesis myth was written it was never written as an allegory. . .The first page of the bible begins with a false creation account that was been shown to be false by observable evidence, even christian apologist agree and say the genesis creation account is an allegory. . .

Genesis creation account is as correct as mazaje is a humankind. Those who dismiss it as myth or allegory are very ignorant. The account is in harmony with the discoveries of modern science.

Questions for you: Does observable evidence show that undirected explosion can result in better organization? Do the bombs that fall on cities in wartime produce superbly designed buildings, streets and signs with traffic laws? What does experience by the Japanese cities of Hiroshima and Nagasaki in 1945 show?

To the extent that matter being mutable cannot self exist, then it had a trigger, and an effect cannot be its cause and as such must be external to itself. Simpliciter.

Excellent and sensible post. i am not christian and the bible is not my creed, but i cannot get over the vacant st.upidity of those who choose to read Genesis in a literal sense.

mazaje:

You see this and you also see a detailed 7 days account of creation,

get the verses and your argument right please.

mazaje:

by the way the earth and the universe(assuming the heavens means the universe)

the word "heaven" has two conotation:
1. The Expanse above the earth
2. The throne of God.

Creation in Genesis is about earth and its expanse.

mazaje:

many stars and galaxies came into existence before our own sun, which came before our own planet. . .No heaven and earth were created any were together in any begining. . .It is false. . .

we are talking about earth creation and the birds of heaven and their heaven.

mazaje:

Only that the bible talks about how god created "everything",

"every thing on earth", yes.

creation on earth is what i read in Genesis and that it was covered in darkness:

"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." (Genesis 1:2-3).
..........................................................................................
What i can see there ^ is God saying let there be light. I did not read the planet sun there.

And i dont know where the argument that "God created plants befor there was light" came from.

mazaje:

it talks about the creation of the sun, stars and everyhing. .
cool

i understand it to mean the divisions of the light for days and seasons, just like verse three(3) said: let there be light.

If you want/wish to see creation of sun and moon there, good for you.

That I can open my window blinds for sun rays to enter my room as light instead of electric light does not mean i just "created" the sun.


mazaje:

.And it says the earth was created before them. . .
what? How do you read?
*sigh*

mazaje:

Didn't you see where they said their god created the sun and stars at the same time, and where they also said the earth was in existence before the sun and stars?. . .

where did you get that ^? Smh for you.


mazaje:

They weren't educated about outer space that is why they got everything wrong. .

the bible is the word of Yahweh.
I dont know what you are talking about.


mazaje:

You don't believe they were educated about outer space

i mean that the Education was about Adam and the earth he lived in and not astrology.

What has astrology to do with the fall of man and the coming of the massaiah? Who is interested in the Demonic activities of astrology that Yahweh asked the Jews to keep clear?
*sigh*


mazaje:

yet you believe they are educated to know what happens to you when you die, eh?. .

yes, Yahweh educated the Jews about a lot of things including "hereafter" and not that the jews came up with ideas that is based on the traditions of men and Demons.


mazaje:

If the bible is wrong on things that we know, like history and science, why then should any one trust it on things we do not know,

where? How do you read?

No wander! cool

you build an error birth in it and belief in it? Smh for you.

mazaje:

things like what happens after death?. . .

yes, the creator is in a better place to know what happened at death.

What "false hood" does the bible tell about the after life? Please bring it fourth and stop making basedless accusations.


mazaje:

is it not the same bible that talks about stars falling into the earth?

is that ^ ignorance?

Are the angels not called "stars" in the bible?

Stars falling to the earth means satan or his demons driven from heaven to the earth befor their being destroyed.

mazaje:

. .What exactly are you talking about?. . .The bible tried to run into the fleid of astronomy and it falied completely,

that is a lie.
I dont think you are a honest person, since you wish to misrepresent the bible here to deceive people.
Astrology is a no go area for Worshpers of Yahweh.


mazaje:

so much so that you your self have aknowledged

what? Me?
Why are you lying guy? Lol.

I did not argree on such ^ o!

But with your comprehension level here, am not surprised.


mazaje:

By the way the ancient greeks knew much more about the constellations (and wrote about them) than the ancient jews. . .

that is not under contention here men.

Meanwhile, Please, state the "falsehood" in the bible please and stop jumping up and down.

All this your "feel good story" is not helping your case here.
Peace.

The more many try to disprove Genesis 1:1, the more they prove that the heaven and the earth can't be the products of one undirected/unguided explosion, but were carefully designed.

Only that you are lying and distorting what the bible is saying. . .From the bible. . .

Gen1:16 And God made two great lights; the greater light(sun) to rule the day, and the lesser light to rule the night(moon): he made the stars also.
Gen 1:17 And God set them in the firmament of the heaven to give light upon the earth,
Gen 1:1 8 And to rule over the day and over the night, and to divide the light from the darkness: and God saw that it was good.
Gen 1:19 And the evening and the morning were the fourth day.


If you can read as i assume you can you can see it says VERY clearly that the sun, moon and stars were all created on the fourth day of creation placed in the elusive firmament and they were all created to give light upon the earth. . .All the stuff you wrote about rotating earth and light travel is your OWN making it does NOT appear any where in the bible and remain your own lies. . .I really prefer the YEC that take it as they see it or the apologist that will tell you its an allegory that people that will come about lying through their teeth and keep repeating what was never said. . .Sun and moon in outer space long before the first day according to your lies, but the bible VERY clearly says there were created on the fourth day. . .Or are we reading from two different bibles?. . .

The J.W translation is an apologetic nonsense. . .And non of what you have written here appears in the bible, the bible reading is very clear, sun, moon and stars were all created on the fourth day of creation and placed in the elusive firmament to give light unto the earth. . .Lie all you want but that is what was written in the bible. . .Light from the sun , eh?. . .How can it be light from the sun when it says the sun was created on the fourth day of creation after the earth was already existing?. . .

On the first "day" diffused light evidently penetrated the swaddling bands, but the sources of that light (sun, other stars and the moon) could not have been seen by an earthly observer because of the cloud layers still enveloping the earth. Now, on this fourth "day," things apparently changed.

Why do you guys love LYING SO MUCH?. . .Its disgusting. . .the way you guys just throw the bible and keep making it to say things it NEVER says is disgusting. . .They were only visible but not created according to your own lies, right?. . .

From the bible. . .

Gen 1:16 And God made two great lights; the greater light(sun) to rule the day, and the lesser light to rule the night(moon): he made the stars also

Gen 1:17 And God set them in the firmament of the heaven to give light upon the earth,
Gen 1:1 8 And to rule over the day and over the night, and to divide the light from the darkness: and God saw that it was good.

Gen 1:19 And the evening and the morning were the fourth day

It clearly says the sun, moon and stars were made(created) on the fourth day of creation, already the grasses were already created in the earth on the 3rd day of creation, the firmament was already created on the second day of creation, now the sun, moon and stars were set in the firmament on the fourth day of creation after they were created . . .Keep lying for Jesus. . .By the way what is a firmament and how can the sun, moon and stars be placed in any firmament?. . .Are the sun , moon and stars in any firmament?. . .

Genesis creation account is as correct as the creation account to be found in the verders or any of the japaness and chinese creation myths. . .You are ONLY trying to lie through your teeth to make scientific discoveries rhyme with the genesis creation myth, but saying that the bible does not really mean what it says, or that was was written does not mean what was written but something else according to your own lies and spin. . .

Questions for you: Does observable evidence show that undirected explosion can result in better organization? Do the bombs that fall on cities in wartime produce superbly designed buildings, streets and signs with traffic laws? What does experience by the Japanese cities of Hiroshima and Nagasaki in 1945 show?

What has this got to do with the mythical creation account in genesis that says the earth was created before the sun and starts?. . .keep spinning and lying to yourself. . .Those that are honest just take it as it was written(YEC), those that know it doesn't agree with reality say it is an allegory. . .

.........................................................................................

Is your brain stump?

Cant you read? which light is that ^ in verse 3?

You left out verse 3 and went to verse 16 or more to make noise?

Where did the verse 3 light came from? Even befor every, any other thing was created?

I hate westing time with kids that cant think in addition to dishonesty. *sigh*


how can a reasonable person leave verse 3 statement and not take it into context and ran to verses in front and pick out random verses and build an elusive castle in the air?

Should we tear out verse 3 of Genesis from the bible?

The lies you have taken in has really punished you indeed and you are spining more lies to cover over the lies, even lying against me that i said what i never said .

What a restlessness!

You should better change your ways and have a breath of flesh air.


mazaje:

Only that according to the bible the sun, moon and stars were made on the fourth day of creation. .

you see what i mean?

Where then did the light in verse 3 came from?

Next you will say that stars are falling from heaven to earth. cool lol.

mazaje:

.lie and deny all you want but is is there. . .The 7 day creation account tells you how god created the earth and everything in it and explains how each came about in a 7 day account of creation. . .The fourth day was when he made the sun, moon and stars. . .

so, when you go to verses 21,22 of chapter 2 and hear God talk about the creation of Eve after the seven days creation in chapter 1 what do you say? That creation had not ended?

See:

"So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them." (Genesis 1:27).
...............................
The point is that the book of Genesis Gives a statement that overlap each other for detail.


mazaje:

Gen1:16 And God made two great lights; the greater light(sun) to rule the day, and the lesser light to rule the night(moon): he made the stars also.
Gen 1:17 And God set them in the firmament of the heaven to give light upon the earth,
Gen 1:1 8 And to rule over the day and over the night, and to divide the light from the darkness: and God saw that it was good.
Gen 1:19 And the evening and the morning were the fourth day.

Even after the seven days creation in chapter 1 came this:

"And out of the ground the LORD God formed every beast of the field, and every fowl of the air; and brought them unto Adam to see what he would call them: and whatsoever Adam called every living creature, that was the name thereof." (Genesis 2:19).

After this in chapter 1:

"And to every beast of the earth, and to every "fowl" of the air, " (Genesis 1:30).

"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." (Genesis 1:2-3).
.........................................................................................

Is your brain stump?

Cant you read? which light is that ^ in verse 3?

You left out verse 3 and went to verse 16 or more to make noise?

Where did the verse 3 light came from? Even befor every, any other thing was created?

I hate westing time with kids that cant think in addition to dishonesty. *sigh*


how can a reasonable person leave verse 3 statement and not take it into context and ran to verses in front and pick out random verses and build an elusive castle in the air?

Should we tear out verse 3 of Genesis from the bible?

The lies you have taken in has really punished you indeed and you are spining more lies to cover over the lies, even lying against me that i said what i never said .

What a restlessness!

You should better change your ways and have a breath of flesh air.

The bible does NOT say where the light came from, it only says god said let there be light and there was light and god divided the light into two, the light he called day and the darkness he called night. . .From here we can see that it talks about light appearing without any light source to claim the source of light is the sun is to LIE, because it was never stated. . .In some other parts of the bible (Revelation)it talks about a new earth with light without the sun. . .The bible clearly states that the sun was created on the fourth day of creation. . .

you see what i mean?

Where then did the light in verse 3 came from?

Next you will say that stars are falling from heaven to earth. cool lol.

The bible never said it came from the sun. . .It only said god created light and not the sun. . .By the way, what am I to do with the nonsense you said about angles being refered to as stars?. . .You are just arguing with no specific parameters. . .


so, when you go to verses 21,22 of chapter 2 and hear God talk about the creation of Eve after the seven days creation in chapter 1 what do you say? That creation had not ended?

See:

"So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them." (Genesis 1:27).
...............................
The point is that the book of Genesis Gives a statement that overlap each other for detail.

The TRUTH is that the two accounts of creation in genesis were NOT written by the same person and at the same time. . .The account in genesis chapter two was actually written before the account in genesis one. The account in genesis one is a rabbinical commentry on genesis chapter 2. . .But when the bible was complied, both were put together as one. . .

see.

Even after the seven days creation in chapter 1 came this:

"And out of the ground the LORD God formed every beast of the field, and every fowl of the air; and brought them unto Adam to see what he would call them: and whatsoever Adam called every living creature, that was the name thereof." (Genesis 2:19).

are those ^ inside planet earth? Smh for you.
How shallow!

You didn't see where it says there were placed inside the firmament to give light to the earth?. . . grin or is the genesis creation account only refering to the creation of the earth?. . if yes why does it specifically say that the sun, moon and stars where all created on the fourth day of creation, you just don't want to address it. you keep jumping from one place to another. . .I repeat on which day of creation were the sun moon and stars created according to the 7 days creation account of the bible?. . .

So, what if i told you, you've been here before, you wpuld then think, dejavu, as in lucid dreaming to be aware of your dream you need dream signs to remind you that you are dreaming... As in real life , if thats what you wanna call it, they're sighns, that remind you of the event or circumstances taking place. There are multiple universe, but theyre all idntical, universe where any possibility is played out, example the nazis won the war and tpok over the world, in a different "reality" its frightening when you think like thos, but imagen it as a video game, after all, all.we are are projections

The bible gave a detailed account of how god created everything in seven days . . . Whether it is 7 periods or 7 normal days, the details are all there for all to see. . .How can god divide day and night?. . .What causes day and night if not the sun?. . .can you see how meaningless your assertion is?. . .What divides day and night if not the sun?. . .Is your god now the sun?. . .Even if we are to go with your creative period the bible still remains a mythical creation narrative that is very false. . .

Wrong! The bible does not give a detailed account of how God created everything in seven days. The Genesis account was not written to show the "how" of creation. Rather, it covers major events in a progressive way, describing what things were formed, the order in which they were formed and the time interval, or "day," in which each first appeared. In the first craetive day, light started to appear. You can't have light without the source.


It still doesn't matter. . .If it means day or periods. . .

Only that you are lying and distorting what the bible is saying. . .From the bible. . .

Gen1:16 And God made two great lights; the greater light(sun) to rule the day, and the lesser light to rule the night(moon): he made the stars also.
Gen 1:17 And God set them in the firmament of the heaven to give light upon the earth,
Gen 1:1 8 And to rule over the day and over the night, and to divide the light from the darkness: and God saw that it was good.
Gen 1:19 And the evening and the morning were the fourth day.


If you can read as i assume you can you can see it says the sun, moon and stars were all created on the fourth day of creation and they were all created to give light into the earth. . .All the stuff you wrote about rotating earth and light travel is your OWN making it does NOT appear any where in the bible and remain your own lies. . .I really prefer the YEC that take it as they see it or the apologist that will tell you its an allegory that people that will come about lying through their teeth and keep repeating what was never said. . .Sun and moon in outer space long before the first day according to your lies, but the bible VERY clearly says there were created on the fourth day. . .Or are we reading from two different bibles?. . .

The J.W translation is an apologetic nonsense. . .And non of what you have written here appears in the bible, the bible reading is very clear, sun, moon and stars were all created on the fourth day of creation to give light unto the earth. . .Lie all you want but that is what was written in the bible. . .Light from the sun , eh?. . .How can it be light from the sun when it says the sun was created on the fourth day of created after the earth was already existing?. . .

The translation by Benjamin Wills Newton gives the same picture of continuing development of a process once started.

Rotherham, in a footnote on "Luminaries" in the Emphasised Bible, says: "In ver. 3, 'ôr ['ohr], light diffused." Are they also "apologetic nonsense"?

Why do you guys love LYING SO MUCH?. . .Its disgusting. . .the way you guys just throw the bible and keep making it to say things it NEVER says is disgusting. . .They were only visible but not created according to your own lies, right?. . .

From the bible. . .

Gen 1:16[b]And God made[/b] two great lights; the greater light(sun) to rule the day, and the lesser light to rule the night(moon): he made the stars also

Gen 1:19 And the evening and the morning were the fourth day

It clearly says the sun, moon and stars were made(created) on the fourth day of creation,

When examining the Genesis account, it is helpful to keep in mind that it approaches matters from the standpoint of people on earth. So it describes events as they would have been seen by human observers had they been present. This can be noted from its treatment of events on the fourth Genesis "day." There the sun and moon are described as great luminaries in comparison to the stars. Yet many stars are far greater than our sun, and the moon is insignificant in comparison to them. But not to an earthly observer. So, as seen from the earth, the sun appears to be a 'greater light that rules the day' and the moon a 'lesser light that dominates the night.'—Genesis 1:14-18.

Gen. 1:1 says "In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth".
The heavens had bodies and the earth had crust and water covering it. When God called for light to appear in the first creative day, light gradually came forth, not from the earth, but from the light source(s) in the heaven which were later made to appear on creative day 4.

When God made lights, one to rule over the day and the other, the night (Gen. 1:14-18), it wasn't announcement of the birth of the sun, moon and stars, for they had been in existence for untold number of years prior to day 4.The main emphasis were on their appearance and more functions. Where do you think the light on creative day one (Gen. 1:3,5) came from?

When God made the dry land to appear on creative day 3 (Gen.1:9,10), that was not announcement of the birth of the earth's crust, for it had been in existence for untold number of years prior to day 3.- Gen 1:1

Contrary to your claim, the bible does not give a detailed account of how God created everything in 7 days. Also, it was not written as a science book, but has given us the order in which things were formed/made to appear, and the time interval, or "day," in which each first appeared - like the sun, moon and stars that first appeared on creative day 4, though had been in existence for untold number of years.


already the grasses were already created in the earth on the 3rd day of creation. . .Keep lying for Jesus. . .
By the way what is a firmament and how can the sun, moon and stars be placed in any firmament?. . .Are the sun , moon and stars in any firmament?. . .

Why wouldn't there be grasses in day 3? Light gradually appeared from creative day 1 - Gen.1:3. The diffused light would have become quite strong by then, ample for the process of photosynthesis so vital to green plants.

Genesis creation account is as correct as the creation account to be found in the verders or any of the japaness and chinese creation myths. . .You are ONLY trying to lie through your teeth to make scientific discoveries rhyme with the genesis creation myth, but saying that the bible does not really mean what it says, or that was was written does not mean what was written but something else according to your own lies and spin. . .

What has this got to do with the mythical creation account in genesis that says the earth was created before the sun and starts?. . .keep spinning and lying to yourself. . .Those that are honest just take it as it was written(YEC), those that know it doesn't agree with reality say it is an allegory. . .

Lol.. you have omitted the greatest myth - undirected explosion.

The first page of the bible begins with a false creation account that was been shown to be false by observable evidence, even christian apologist agree and say the genesis creation account is an allegory. . .

The science of mathematical probability offers striking proof that the Genesis creation account must have come from a source with knowledge of the events. The account lists 10 major stages in this order: (1) a beginning; (2) a primitive earth in darkness and enshrouded in heavy gases and water; (3) light; (4) an expanse or atmosphere; (5) large areas of dry land; (6) land plants; (7) sun, moon and stars discernible in the expanse, and seasons beginning; (cool sea monsters and flying creatures; (9) wild and tame beasts, mammals; (10) man.

(1) a beginning ....................................................................................................1:1
(2) a primitive earth in darkness and enshrouded in heavy gases and water .....1:2

Day One
(3) light .................................................................................................................1:3,5

Day Two
(4) an expanse or atmosphere ..............................................................................1:6-8

Day Three
(5) large areas of dry land ......................................................................................1:9,10
(6) land plants ........................................................................................................1:11

Day Four
(7) sun, moon and stars discernible in the expanse, and seasons beginning ........1:14-16

Day Five
(cool sea monsters and flying creatures .....................................................................1:20,21

Day Six
(9) wild and tame beasts, mammals .........................................................................1:24
(10) man.....................................................................................................................1:26,27

Science agrees that these stages occurred in the above general order. What are the chances that the writer of Genesis just guessed this order? The same as if you picked at random the numbers 1 to 10 from a box, and drew them in consecutive order. The chances of doing this on your first try are 1 in 3,628,800! So, to say the writer just happened to list the foregoing events in the right order without getting the facts from somewhere is not realistic.
