I don't hate science and speaking objectively there's no way you can dispute facts like dinosaurs etc. I'm comfortable with the facts presented by science as far as the chronology of life forming on this planet and the order in which things took place.

Don't you think it odd that the people responsible for recording the bible knew this also and recorded life forming on this planet from amoeba to man accurately as it happened? How do you suppose they did this? It's all described in Genesis Chapter 1. and it follows in sequence how science says it happened. How do you think these primitive people that wrote the bible knew this?

God is infinite. Yet in Genesis it is reported that these things happened in 7 days which people (not me) think were literally 7, 24 hour days,as we know it. Later in the Good Book however, God's time is explained in further detail such as Psalm 90:4 and 11 Peter 3:8. I think those responsible for recording this extraordinary Book of Life did the best they could with their vocabulary, being primitive people and all, wouldn't you say? Or do you think they found some dinosaur bones and figured it out from there?

I think you are correct. It is amazing that Moses knew these things when writing Genesis.....but I think he had help.

Gen.1:1- Perhaps billions of years ago!
Gen.1:2-"Became" chaotic, confused, dark and formless because of Lucifer's rebellion. The Hebrew word translated in most Bibles here as "Was" is better translated "Became". The same word is properly translated in Gen. 19:26. Lot's wife "BECAME" a pillar of salt. When you translate Gen.1:2 properly it allows for billions of years of soup, fish, monkeys, birds, dinosaurs or whatever.
Gen.1:3-Beginning of a new creation...the first 24 hour day. Light begins to penetrate the thick cloud cover.
Gen.1:6-The second 24 hour day. Clouds rise creating an expanse between the waters of the seas and the waters of the clouds(under and above). Ocean recedes and dry land appears.
Gen.1:11-Grass and herbs planted on the third 24 hour day.
Gen.1:14-Fourth 24 hour day sees the Sun become visible through the thinning clouds and toward evening the moon and the stars appear.
Gen.1:20-Fifth 24 hour day sees birds and sea life created.
Gen.1:24-Land animals and man created on the sixth 24 hour day.
Gen.2:2-Seventh 24 hour day(Sabbath)is blessed and made holy.
In six days God brought the Earth back to a state of order and then rested from his labor. God is not a God of disorder or confusion. 1st Corinthians 14:33
