Answer this question.
If the earth was here before the sun as you state, how are 24 hours being measured?
The bible has the earth before the sun, in fact before any stars were visible from earth, something we know is not possible.
So given that it is not possible, why put any faith in it ? Again you make my point, the bible clearly has a (earth) day a very specific amount of time.
The sun (light) is created on the first day at least according to the bible, something we know is not true, be it a billion years, a trillion or 24 hours, but again why so slippery when the bible clearly means a 24 hour period.
And again we have Adam, we can put a very clear and specific time period on human creation, the fall etc, we know humans have been around for much much longer, the bible (again) is wrong, you seem to rely more on what the bible does not say, rather than what it does.
Hardly a holy book full of god's wisdom when you have to twist and torture what it says in a vain attempt not to look stupid.
I think YEC's are nuts, but at least they are more honest and true to the bible as they read it.
If the sun was created on the first day then what does this mean?
Quote:Genesis 1
13 And the evening and the morning were the third day.
14 And God said, Let there be lights in the firmament of the heaven to divide the day from the night; and let them be for signs, and for seasons, and for days, and years:
15 And let them be for lights in the firmament of the heaven to give light upon the earth: and it was so.
16 And God made two great lights; the greater light to rule the day, and the lesser light to rule the night: he made the stars also.
17 And God set them in the firmament of the heaven to give light upon the earth,
18 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.
19 And the evening and the morning were the fourth day.
Again, If the sun was created on the third day, how do you figure the 'evening' and 'morning' are speaking of a 24 hour period?
