@brianjakub,
Quote:The sun is not the only source of light in the universe. On the first day God created light, on the fourth day God created the sun. The light of the first day signifies order, and the darkness signifies disorder.
The path of "order" is well said in your reply.
About the Sun "created" on the fourth day, such is a wrong interpretation which contradicts the path you yourself have as a conclusion about those days.
The writers of the bible knew what they were writing.
To understand better about the fourth say, there are questions to be made.
1)- Who has evidence that our solar system has been the same thru millions and millions of years?
We are not talking of "calculations" or "computer simulations" or "theories of science", but we are talking of sure evidence.
No one has that evidence.
The idea of our solar system being the same for millions of years is just a belief. Period.
Scientists can argue whatever they want, that is their right under the Constitution which is free speech, but they don't have evidence.
2)- Can anyone tell if our solar system was different just a few thousands years ago?
The answer is yes.
There are narrations by hundreds in several so called "legends" saying the different changes in our solar system. Changes that affected our planet.
The people of those times were witness and victims of those events.
Look at the planets today.
Those are just shinny points in the cosmos which can be confused with the stars, unless the blinking phenomena when we see the stars from ground zero.
How in the world, some thousands years ago, people were so "afraid" of those planets, to the point of building altars and making sacrifices to "calm their fury".
This is not mass craziness, they actually were so afraid that they built temples for those planets, they didn't do temples for the stars but for the planets.
You are not afraid of something that never will cause you any harm, and those people were afraid of those planets.
When one combines the narration of weird behavior of planets in our solar system with the building of temples and worship to those planets, there is a clear indication that at one point in history those other planets were the cause of portents in our planet.
The records of those witness have been discarded by the belief of scientists who say that our solar system has been the same for millions and millions of years.
The Bible wasn't written by modern scientists with current beliefs, the Bible was written by people who lived when those events in our solar system happened.
There is not a single guarantee to prevent a rogue planet causing a collision with any planet in our solar system and chaos starts again in the entire system. NASA is watching day and night for a possible collision of a body against earth, because such a guarantee that this kind of event will never happen is ZERO.
Then, in order to understand the days of creation, the fallacy of a solar system being the same thru millions of years must be disregarded, it is solely a belief, a modern belief, a current fable, a story without evidence as solid background.
