The Tower of Babel

[possibletarian]

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.

*emphasis mine*

If the sun was created on the first day then what does this mean?

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?

Exactly, the bible makes no sense.
But given that it is so wrong, why believe it at all, here it has it on the first act of creation.... It cannot precede the first day AND be done on the third day. That though is not your only problem, vegetation (which we know relies on sunlight) was created the day before the sun in your account it simply would not survive. The point being the bible cannot be trusted at any level.

1 In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth. 2 Now the earth was formless and empty, darkness was over the surface of the deep, and the Spirit of God was hovering over the waters.

3 And God said, “Let there be light,” and there was light. 4 God saw that the light was good, and he separated the light from the darkness. 5 God called the light “day,” and the darkness he called “night.” And there was evening, and there was morning—the first day.

You can't have it both ways, Genesis is a real mess it contains at least two different creation stories, day and night are created on day one.. and day three !
