Do you mean sent me a message to where/when earth was being formed from the Inception(where/when God is standing)?

I was asking concerning the observations from God's point of view or from his inception point...what would I have observed from there?

Something of interest...I read of a pecular quality of the obsidian flakes in granite rock. It seems they exhibit a rainbow iridescent pattern to light not found in any otherobsidian(volcanic or artificially man made and cooled in the lab unless exposed to Iridium and flash cooled at the instant of its making). I was trying to to find the linking because I'm sure I'm not explaining the technical details well enough. The point was that the models that predicted a slow cooling of granite over millions of years couldn't account for this iridescent light pattern found in the obsidian flakes in side of granite...it was almost as if the earth was flash made "old" and the shiniy iridescense of granite's obsidian was really a curious photo graph of such an instataneous "creation"...

But hey...I can buy the space time inception idea you speak of...After all the unverse starts with a bang...and time and space are probably warping and not totally constant for the first week or so....it might have taken 6 or 7 (at God's space time inception point) days to calm everything down...by then billions of what we call earth years may have passed to the point that human history's clock starts ticking when Adam and Eve decided they could be like the "gods"..

Thank you for your reply!

That is why I refer to the "inception" space/time coordinates. God is not corporeal, He doesn't exist "in" space/time and yet He transcends space/time. Space/time is created as the universe expands.

God is the only possible candidate for the uncaused cause of a beginning. All cosmologies require a beginning because, at the root, they invoke geometry.

With this understanding, looking at Genesis 1-3, it becomes rather apparant to me that God alone is the observer and that He is relating "Day" from the Creation perspective to "day" from a creature perspective, i.e. on earth.

Therefore, the anchor for "time" must be the inception space/time coordinates - when real time began in this universe.

The point was that the models that predicted a slow cooling of granite over millions of years couldn't account for this iridescent light pattern found in the obsidian flakes in side of granite...it was almost as if the earth was flash made "old" and the shiniy iridescense of granite's obsidian was really a curious photo graph of such an instataneous "creation"...

That was the assertion in the original "tiny mystery" testimony which has since been challenged: Institute for Creation Research
