Seriously, does any of that make sense to you? The dark Earth was created first, then light? The sheepherders who concocted the creation myths in Genesis obviously flunked Physics in high school.
“The dark Earth was created first, then light? “
First, you are correct. The story in Genesis of the creation of the Earth, does seem a bit simplistic.
Because it is. No one back then had the advanced scientific knowledge we have today to describe the unfolding of the entire universe and eventual evolution of the Earth and the parasites that grow on it.
There are planets in our solar system, that still are dark.
But, to get a planet to where the electromagnetic shield, and greenhouse gases provide a relatively stable and hospitable environment for life, takes a long, long time.
Those sheepherders had no high school, nor Physics class available.
It is we, who should be smarter, who can interpret the intent of Genesis, instead of the literal description of an ancient sheepherder.
Regardless to whether we accept the sheepherder’s dictation, or current scientific concepts on the creation of Earth, or the Universe, there is no proof either is true, or that they both don’t amount to the same thing.
There was no Physics, and there was no high school at that time. Genesis is not a Physics manual. It is a story with a religious meaning. Does any of that make sense to you?
