Personally, I think the idea of the entire universe starting out as a singular super condensed blob, is absolutely ridiculous.

When God SPOKE his creation into existence, I've often wondered what that would look like. In one moment there was nothing, in the next moment there was EVERYTHING (in terms of matter anyway).

Any explosion of energy - call it a Big Bang - works for me...

Do you accept the chronological order of creation as presented in Genesis?
In the Genesis account of the formation of life on planet earth, plants were supposedly created on the third day, while the sun/ sunlight was created on the 4th day.

Now, I've heard many explanations of a “day” being the same as a thousand years to God, which I can accept. What I can't accept, is the lack of availability for photosynthesis for plant life, since sunlight wasn't available yet.

That biblical rendition of the order of creation isn't scientific at all, since plants requirements for sunlight/ photosynthesis is a pretty well researched subject in the scientific world. And then there's the wholesale fabrication of a female Eve being created from Adams rib, as almost an afterthought for Adam's companion.

Sorry, as someone who believes a rational God would follow his own laws of physics, I've concluded that the Genesis account is not only inaccurate, it''s completely flawed scientifically.
