The Statler Waldorf Balcony

[Zen Badger]

God created everything in six literal days using observed time. Pretty simple. The stars were observed to be created on day four. Just like that supernova was observed to happen in 1987.

Ah I get it now, "observed time" is the weasel words you use to admit that the universe was not actually created in six days, it just happens to look like it from earth. So in fact god had created the rest of the universe( stars, galaxies etc) much, much earlier.

But hang on a sec, Genesis is very specific that god made the earth on the first day and the stars on the fouth day. Bit of a conundrum there I think.

Depends on how God defines birds now doesn't it? Not even sure what passage you are referring to, you should let me know.

Oh dear, yet another christian who's knowledge of the book he defends so vigorously turns out to be slim at best. We get a lot of them here.

In the passage concerned god proscribes various birds, the vulture, raven, pelican, swan, cormorant, heron etc. And the bat.

So how do you think he defines birds? Since his knowledge of basic biology appears to be rather lacking.
