God's Word says not one word about science as we understand it.
Kalamata: "When God said he created the stars on the 4th day, the day after he created the plants, why doubt him?
Is that less scientifically tenable than the universe magically appearing out of nothing, or stars being created by exploding stars, the first of which magically appeared?"
Sure, it's hypothetically possible that God created plants somewhere before He created the stars we can see, but so far we've found no evidence of it.
That puts such ideas in the realm of scientific speculation.
As for the so-called Big Bang, nobody assumes it was "magical" and science has no serious explanation for it.
It remains, and will remain, the willing Act of our Creator.
>> God’s Word says not one word about science as we understand it.
You are remarkably unlearned. The Bible is loaded with science.
>>Sure, it’s hypothetically possible that God created plants somewhere before He created the stars we can see, but so far we’ve found no evidence of it.
Who is we? Scientists have found no evidence for the creation process. There are boatloads of speculations, but no evidence
>>That puts such ideas in the realm of scientific speculation.
That is exactly the way it is. Astronomer and astrophysicists have no clue how or when the universe was formed.
