Yes, we can make reasonable assumptions. In this case:
- The creation of the entire universe is covered in about a page. It's reasonable to assume that the account is not exhaustive, but rather leaves out a lot of details.
- Light typically comes with heat
- According to the account the plants survived
So, yes, it's reasonable to conclude that there was sufficient heat for the plants.
Quote:No, yeah, the omnipotent, omniscient creator of the universe is so smart that he has the plants covered, but not smart enough to avoid numerous redundant steps along the way instead of just making the sun. Right.Argument from personal incredulity is noted.
Quote:So we're only supposed to take your argument strictly on its own merits without ever considering additional facts that you evidently hadn't considered?Nope, you can do that within the original topic, as you did with heat, and I responded. It's when you go outside the original topic that you're making a red herring.
Quote:Probably because I missed it. I took Huggy to task for a similar kind of nonsense not two days ago in another thread though, so that's purely down to not seeing the comment, not inconsistency. Care to link it?It's just a few pages back...more recent than my remark about heat which you also missed.
