I see. So the noun phrase The light energy from a flashlight is equivalent to The Sun from a flashlight, correct?

Have you heard of a photon before?

Are you sure? Take a look at the following formula for photosynthesis:

6 CO2 + 12 H2O + Light energy → C6 H12 O6 + 6 O2 + 6 H2O

What do you see in the middle there? Do you see the Sun or do you see light energy?

6 CO2 + 12 H2O + sunlight → C6H12O6 + 6 O2 + 6 H2O

Unless you're suggesting that god had all of Creation in a hydroponic grow-op.

Yup. Where do you get yours?

I think one answer to the thread is clear, some of them genuinely think they can decide subjectively, what is objectively true. 

Science gets in the way and out it goes, paradoxically a degree in psychology enables insight into any belief, and why it lacks this esoteric ability to pick which scientific facts are correct. Not for all psychologist though, even the US. 

"Studies indicate that psychologists are less likely to identify with a religion, believe in God, or consider religion very important in their lives compared to the general public."

CONTEXT:

"Clinician members of the American Psychological Association (APA) were surveyed regarding their religion and spirituality. The survey was sent to 489 randomly selected members of APA, of whom 258 (53%) replied. Items were drawn from prior surveys to allow this APA sample to be compared with the general U.S. population and with an earlier survey of psychotherapists by A. E. Bergin and J. P. Jensen (see record 1990-18246-001). Although no less religious than A. E. Bergin and J. P. Jensen's (1990) sample, psychologists remained far less religious than the clients they serve."

They still thought it could be beneficial though, self delusion is beneficial, yes I imagine it can be, though I don't have a degree in psychology of course, or in anything else come to that.

Does the light that comes from the sun have any?

Imaginary deity - inexplicable magic - (sun)light...tadah...

Oh wait, the earth is still 4.543 billion years old, and the sun is still 4.603 billion years old, and I know I am a simpleton, but I am fairly sure I read somewhere that the first land based plant life is estimated to have occurred around 500 million years ago, damn you science...except psychology obviously.
