So God deliberately mislead Moses?
Now thAT was funny!
Dr Hugh Ross, astrophysicist, has offered an excellent explanation of the ‘evening and morning’ (you screwed even that simple Bible passage around to fit your twisted perspective) and I’ve even given to you a hotlink for it, but apparently you don’t practice what your tagline proclaims, goober. [Still trying to figure out what Lorentz transformations are? ... And how a time frame is assumed thus a limiting factor with same, a limiting factor which God does not have to be limited by?]
I looked at Hugh Ross. He is another Liar for God. No one NO ONE thought that the days in Genesis was anything but plain old everyday days until science contradicted the Bible.
Your astrophysicist has been a pastor for 30 years. He cannot rely on faith in the Bible so he tries to reconcile his science with his faith. He does this by pulling plausible, yet baseless, ideas out of his hat. He ends up with bad theology and worse science.
You’re a parody of your assertions, dude. Did your read or listen to his explanation? Did you understand it and that it isn’t a contradiction of the Bible nor is science a contradiction of what the Bible relates? ... I doubt you have the objectivity to actually comprehend what Dr. Ross has offered. Such bitterness as you display must be a real downer for those who must tolerate you.
BTW, reason.org is the website. I’ll go get the hotlink for you.
There is overwhelming evidence that the Earth is billions of years old, that life arose billions of years ago, that life evolves from one kind into another. There is no evidence to support biblical creation or the flood myth.
Protecting your state of ignorance may be comforting and what you think you need, but if you’re going to obstinately refuse to grow in knowledge while spittling that you are superior to others with whom you disagree, at least don’t broadcast your ignorance with empty assertions exposing your lack of investigating the actual offered materials. Goober, Dr. Ross is not a young earth creationist. Bwahahahaha
Then you can listen tot he following presentation. Who knows, even the great and powewrful Soliton might learn something! CLICK HERE
Neither God nor Moses misled anyone. It is readers -- who insist that "their" Earth (and, by extension, they themselves) must be the center of everything -- who do the misleading.
Look up "hubris" -- or look in a mirror...

If the words of the Bible are meaningless, how do you know what any of it means?
I just spent an hour reading the rate teams “findings” on accelerated nuclear decay. I am trying to understand how an alleged scientist could believe this nonsense.
Do you truly not understand your own actions? And, of those who are likeminded? What do you think the drive to exclude all Christian expression from the public square involves if not political domination? Likewise the drive to control public education and higher education (you’ve lost that battle, by the way, to the Liberals, otherwise known as Progressives, Marxist/Socialists, etc. Not that they aren’t delighted to have your assistance. Once your usefulness is at an end, however, like what happened to the SA, out comes the longknives. If you’re lucky, it may only be metaphoric this time.)
Soliton, you’re like the three year old who has learned to constantly ask “WHY?” and consequently thinks himself to be just the most clever fellow around. You made an unqualified positive assertion and now you can’t back it up. Of course, you knew you couldn’t going in, but you figured yourself to be too clever a fellow to not be able to wiggle out. To wiggle out, you’re now saying that you believe something (that no truth exists beyond your comprehension) about which you have no evidence (no rational cause to believe), and that you should not be held to the same standard you insist on imposing on everyone else.
The ball remains in your court, and you can’t even clear the net.
You express your religious beliefs here all the time and it's public. You can stand on a street corner and yell it all day long. You can attend any church, synagogue, temple, or mosque you want. You can teach your children whatever you believe. I see evangelists on TV all of the time. We have 2 24/7/365 religious channels on my cable. The presidents have all been alleged Christians. Your religious holidays are federal holidays. Where is all of this repression you speak of?
You can not prove a negative. You can not prove that something does not exist. It is usually encumbent upon the person claiming something exists to supply evidence for believing in its existence.
It was instinctive. Couldn’t help myself. It comes from vaudeville. If you can, imagine George Burns in his old vaudevillian sing-song voice saying “Oh, her name was Virginia, and they all called her Virgin for short, but not for long.” In fact, I suspect it came from much further back than Vaudeville in the Twenties. I think it was probably old when my grandfather laughed his head off at it as a youngster back in the ‘90s (the 1890s).
Those insisting upon an atheistic religion have caused more genocide in the 20th century than all others in human history combined. Their nations later degenerate into self destruction.
There is the rub.. without the proper spirit only surface things are obvious.. Lacking the spirit demands easy solutions.. Makes Captain Obvious out of you..
If humans finally evolved to invent God, where no other primate had this desire.. Disbelieving God is a devolution.. or throwback to a less evolved state..
The Bible, Jesus particularly, invented evolution.. That primates MUST BE Born Again.. and evolve to a higher state of being.. Some do not..
