Interesting that god made light, then the earth and then he made the Sun.

Wrong again.

1 In the beginning God created heaven, and earth. 2 And the earth was void and empty, and darkness was upon the face of the deep; and the spirit of God moved over the waters. 3 And God said: Be light made. And light was made. (Genesis 1:1-3)

Your inability to comprehend Scripture really isn't my problem.

Actually I think that I have a pretty good grasp of field equations. I think that you are improperly equating Omnipotence and Omnipresent they aren't the same thing.

I think you are grossly overestimating your own intellect.

YOU used the term "omnipotent" to try to say that God was somehow "slower" than the speed of light, the term had no relation to your statement. I pointed out that you were confusing omnipotence with omnipresence. Because God is omnipresent, He goes beyond any limits that He has placed on light.

If you believe that light is either omnipotent or omnipresent, try lighting a match and then set it down for a minute and see what happens to the light.

Lets see the whole account why don't we : )

1 In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth.

2 And the earth was without form, and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters.

3 And God said, Let there be light: and there was light.

4 And God saw the light, that it was good: and God divided the light from the darkness.

5 And God called the light Day, and the darkness he called Night. And the evening and the morning were the first day.

On the first day, Light is created and divided.

6 And God said, Let there be a firmament in the midst of the waters, and let it divide the waters from the waters.

7 And God made the firmament, and divided the waters which were under the firmament from the waters which were above the firmament: and it was so.

8 And God called the firmament Heaven. And the evening and the morning were the second day.

Firmament(heaven) made on the second day.

9 And God said, Let the waters under the heaven be gathered together unto one place, and let the dry land appear: and it was so.

10 And God called the dry land Earth; and the gathering together of the waters called he Seas: and God saw that it was good.

11 And God said, Let the earth bring forth grass, the herb yielding seed, and the fruit tree yielding fruit after his kind, whose seed is in itself, upon the earth: and it was so.

12 And the earth brought forth grass, and herb yielding seed after his kind, and the tree yielding fruit, whose seed was in itself, after his kind: and God saw that it was good.

13 And the evening and the morning were the third day.

On the third day God created the earth and plants

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.

God made the Sun, Moon and stars on the fourth day.

It isn't my fault if you Deist's believe this, that is what the scriptures say.

wagglebee - Your inability to comprehend Scripture really isn't my problem.

That is a good thing, because your understanding of the scriptures is wrong.

YOU used the term "omnipotent" to try to say that God was somehow "slower" than the speed of light, the term had no relation to your statement. I pointed out that you were confusing omnipotence with omnipresence. Because God is omnipresent, He goes beyond any limits that He has placed on light.

He is not omnipotent because he can't travel faster than the speed of light. As for the omnipresence that is why I pointed out my understanding of fields. Eg gravity fields and EM fields, they are omnipresent, but constrained by the speed of light.

If you believe that light is either omnipotent or omnipresent, try lighting a match and then set it down for a minute and see what happens to the light.

Are you trying to imply that something can go faster than the speed of light with your example? Please try and follow along, it really isn't that hard : )

An understatement if I ever heard one.
