Please point me to the exact passage before 1:14 where
it says the stars and sun were created.
7 And God made a
firmament, and divided the waters that were under the firmament,
from those that were above the firmament, and it was so. 8 And God called the
firmament, Heaven; and the evening and morning were the second day
**Light **was created before the stars or our sun. Strange but true. Our stone-age man would not make such a basic mistake as to say that *light *was created before the’ *lights in the sky’ *were created. So we will trust him not to say something so silly ‘by mistake’.
And what do we find, we find that 10 seconds after the BB the universe was dominated by photons, **light **– but with no stars or sun or lights in the sky. Just as he said then, light was created before the sun and stars,- the ‘lights in the sky’.
So, now I trust our stone-age friend again when he says that plants were created before the lights in the sky were ‘
made’. Another outlandish statement from this stone-age upstart. But lets see if I can make it work;
At some point God said let there be light, this was at the beginning of our universe 13-14 billion years ago. Water is the symbol used for his creation, and the firmament is space. The next thing He did was to put the firmament between the waters. Space and distance between His creation, the planets and stars or proto-planets and proto-stars.
Then we see planet earth created somewhere before 4.6 billion years ago. We see the first plants created soon after. Then the moon is started by collision around 4.4 billion years ago. Plants continue to develop, albeit in a simple form. The moon forms finally as a spherical moon in an orbit around earth around 4 billion years ago. The earth, tilted by the collision, we presume finally finds a stable angle of axis and a stable slower rotation at this time. Now the animals are created in this more hospitable system.
Going back over this for a second, we see that when the earth formed around 4.6 billion years ago the sun became for it - the big light in the sky- and the other stars also became visible to the new earth. The plants were created then and soon after, the moon - the lesser light in the sky - finally finished forming, or being made, and it too was visible to the new earth. When the moon had finished being made the earth system had finally been altered, the earth had a new tilt from the collision, giving it the seasons and it had a much slower rotation because of the moons mass, giving the earth the ‘days and hours’.
And God made two great lights: a greater light to rule the day; and a lesser light to rule the night: and the stars. 17 And he set them in the firmament of heaven to shine upon the earth. 18 And to rule the day and the night, and to divide the light and the darkness. And God saw that it was good.
And God said: Let there be lights made in the firmament of heaven, to divide the day and the night, and let them be for signs, and for seasons, and for days and years:
Really, can you please link me a respectable source that would claim you had
I think I gave you the quotes and their source, if you cannot find one let me know.
11 And he said: Let the earth bring forth the green herb, and such as may seed, and the fruit tree yielding fruit after its kind, which may have seed in itself upon the earth. And it was so done.
As every biologist will tell you everything is connected if you go back far enough. The trees in your garden are direct descendants of simple single cell primordial plants, all our flowering plants and herbs came from the first plant. And single cell plants yield after their own kind and have ‘seed in themselves’ too, no less than any other plant.
20 God also said: Let the waters bring forth the creeping creature having life, and the fowl that may fly over the earth under the firmament of heaven.
Just so. First plants. Then the moon. Then longer days and seasons. Then animal crawled from the waters. Then land animals multiplied.
