Excuse me, exactly who did I insult as I did not ping you, and the only names mentioned were Sunken Civ and Abraham? Why do you need to insult me with such a dishonest claim?
First of all I did go to the Bible when I learned about Bishop Ushers claim of a specific month, day, and year for the days that created the earth. Since he created his precise date based on counting the years of begats, I tried to do the same. Given the biblical information that is impossible. In honesty, he could have given some approximation, but never a precise point in time.
It was impossible for there to be days before there was a sun and a rotating earth. I don’t remember the Bible saying when He created all the stars like our sun. But we have no information on that in the Bible that I recall. There may have been God and parts of the universe long before there was earth in a livable form. Since day and night for earth is based on the speed of rotation of the earth, do you know how fast the earth was rotating for the first day and night after creation? All the Bible talks about is the evening and the morning being a day. We have no idea how long a day was in the beginning. Therefore, no way to judge how long ago creation took place.
You have no honest business coming to a science oriented site and then accusing people of insulting people. That is a most unChristian bit of behavior. Please go back to the religious sites to enjoy yourself and argue, and stop bothering people at science sites who are merely enjoying their God given right to compare and discuss the complexities of the universe and the nature of God’s gifts and creations. After all, if God created the human brain, would we be insulting Him if we did not use it in creative ways?
I just reread my comment #36, so I guess I might have insulted the murdering dictator of Iraq. But he is no longer here to feel insulted, thank God.
