Space and time had a beginning, but God has always existed. He created our reality so of course he can move freely within it.
In the beginning, the infinite void (underfined reality) was already there.
The elohim defined light first, then plants. They didn't care about defining the sun yet.
>atheists: "Wow, you'd have to be pretty pathetic to go around quoting a random desert tribe book all day..." >also atheists: "LET ME READ YOU THIS PASSAGE FROM GENESIS"
The word "yom" has multiple definitions. It could mean a 24 hour period or an unknowable amount of time. You have to decide which makes more sense to you. The sun and moon day system wasn't created until the 4th yom, and we're also told that time to God is not the same as time to man.
>For a thousand years in thy sight are but as yesterday when it is past, and as a watch in the night.
Psalm 90:4 >But YOU MUST NOT FORGET THIS ONE THING, dear friends: A day is like a thousand years to the Lord, and a thousand years is like a day.
2 Peter 3:8
So, given we are told not to be ignorant of this fact and that the word can mean multiple things, presents one of the biggest controversies in the Bible.
Personally, I think aspects of evolution are correct and within the span of creating each aspect of reality, took a long time and not a literal 24 hour day.
He didn’t rest because he was tired, he rested because he was done. 6 days to make the universe, 1 day of peace, and he used that format as an example for people to follow (that’s why you have a weekend break from work. Saturday for the israelites, Sunday for the Christians.
It's so insane to think God would dedicate all of his time and energy to one small strip of land on one planet while he ignores the rest of the quadrillions of other planets he created.
Why would God make such a massive universe if he was only going to focus on 0.000000000000000000000000000000000000000001% of it? Seems like such a waste of space and energy.
It mostly reminds me of how absurdly arrogant those semitic tribes were, claiming they were the Creator's chosen people or whatever.

There are a couple of different meanings for heaven or heavens in the Bible. One is the sky, another is space, another is the sea of glass that is between the universe and the place where God lives the final heaven. I might of missed one or 2 others.
I am unsure of what your referring to. The comment was addressing no one. In that comment I was just simply stating an interesting fact related to space and heaven.
At what point during the creation did God decide to introduce viral and bacterial diseases, molds, fungi, toxic heavy metals, noxious gases, and parasitic worms? Genesis skipped that part for some reason, maybe lost chapters I dunno
>were you under the impression that ancient people didnt know about mold
Just mudhut dwelling ooga booga tribals like the Hebrews. Mold is attested in Linear B, actual civilized people knew of it.
you see, the hebrews are mud hut ooga boogas who never saw food or organic matter spoil and grow mold before, and for this reason they never mentioned mold in genisis, and this means God isnt real. heh, bet you feel stupid now huh?
That would be in the downfall. One verse says something about the land bringing forth thorns, pain in childbirth, etc. Tied in.
what about the beetles?
they make up 25% of animal species on the planet, they seem to be a favorite of God. Why wouldn't it rate at least a couple of words?
no "beetles" specifically but insects in general are mentioned in genesis a few times:
Genesis 1:24

The word is as is, its as moronic as it sounds because its by and intended for an audience of inbred desert shepherds that didn't know anything outside of Iudea.
Any "metaphor" or apologetics by later christcucks are cope by educated people shackled by subhuman theology and never occured to the people practicing it back then.
This is what happens when a disbeliever read a Sacred Scripture. The disbelievers cannot understand that God is all powerful. That God can create plants and make them live without sun, earth or whatever. God can make plants live in the space if He wills. He can turn the space into earth and the earth into space.
How can a disbeliever ever comprehend something like that? So why bother reading any Sacred Scripture? But you do it anyway, to mock divinity. You can't help it, can you?
Various prophets were sent here to warn those like you, over and over again, and every time you disbelieved their message. In some cases you even killed the prophets. You didn't learn in the past and you'll probably not learn now. And we all know where you're heading.

The argument implies that if the sun was created a day before plant everything would be dandy.
The argument implies that there's nothing wrong with God creating the sun, but the it was created in the right time.

hahahaha oh geez... anon, the association of the criteria of "cold blooded, uses gills to process oxygen" etc with the greek "ikhthū́s" IS an arbitrary, relatively modern invention
Whales are literally not fish.
>whales are literally not fish.
according criteria affixed to the word "fish" that didn't exist yet
>Taxonomy is a model of relation
that had no bearing on the use of the ancient greek ""ikhthū́s" during ancient biblical times
Taxonomy is a model of relation, essentially a family tree of all life. We orders are different branches and whales are factually not in the fish branch. It’s so obvious that this was discovered before DNA.
By rejecting the Genesis narratives as literal, duh.
How well you resist toxins and tapeworms is a test of your faith .

Doesn't say that.
Is this what christians actually believe and/or discuss? Isn't the bible a compilation of tips and tricks on how to live?
It’s a collection of ancient folktales of an Iron Age people which includes how they think everything came to be. Of course they’re wrong because they lived in the Iron Age.
Not sure why anyone takes it seriously anymore.
Does that part matter? I think it's more about how to live in general. Guidelines and tales on how do deal with shit.
I've not read it, so I might be wrong. It would be a shame if people actually believe in a holy boi on a cloud
It's just moronic protties who believe it's a magic book.
What do Catholics believe then?
In the social aspect of the book, morality, after life maybe, God itself and the nature of God
Again, I'm not one, I hope that's what they believe in. Would be nice if a nice Christian could ad to this. Genuinely interested
They believe in whatever the pope tells them. It’s a monarchical, hierarchical institution. Where they believe that weirdo speaks for the creator of the universe.
I’m not making that up I was one, that’s how it works
Lots of them hate the pope since he supports the gays. #notmypope
Then they’re bad Catholics, if they don’t want to listen to the pope then they can’t become Protestants
Catholics and Orthodox believe it's just a book for moral instruction.
It's called the CREATIVE process you uncreative autistic b***h. You think of the cool shit first, and then you think logistics second to support it, dumb autistic crack child b***h. Holy shit. You literally laugh like autistic mfs obsessed with Undertale. You better thank Jesus got me putting up with frauds like you. I am not obligated to say real shit like that to you.
The frick you on about? Be respectful you autistic b***h
I can't believe Christians defend a 4000 year old text as the ultimate basis of truth and then have the audacity to call people who disagree with that notion morons.
The word is as is, its as moronic as it sounds because its by and intended for an audience of inbred desert shepherds that didn't know anything outside of Iudea.
Any "metaphor" or apologetics by later christcucks are cope by educated people shackled by subhuman theology and never occured to the people practicing it back then.
This is what happens when a disbeliever read a Sacred Scripture. The disbelievers cannot understand that God is all powerful. That God can create plants and make them live without sun, earth or whatever. God can make plants live in the space if He wills. He can turn the space into earth and the earth into space.
How can a disbeliever ever comprehend something like that? So why bother reading any Sacred Scripture? But you do it anyway, to mock divinity. You can't help it, can you?
Various prophets were sent here to warn those like you, over and over again, and every time you disbelieved their message. In some cases you even killed the prophets. You didn't learn in the past and you'll probably not learn now. And we all know where you're heading.
WTF that makes it so you are always right!? What are the odds?
Holy fricking shit you people really are hacks. You're all fricking hacks.
This tradLARP shit is the biggest fricking magic trick pulled on this heap of shit website. It's such a fricking shame.
>Genesis 1:3
>And God said, “Let there be light,” and there was light.
>Anon doesn't know that light comes from the sun
>be me
>Study history

>Druids executing gubment stuff up to the 12th century
>Bardic schools running up to the 18th century
Cant possibly know bro
>I grow plants in my home, away from all sunlight.
Germinated them in a cupboard in the kitchen, planted them, and watched them sprout in my kitchen with no windows.
Your brain in so small.
The claim isn’t that plants in the Bible sprouted without sunlight, it’s that all of them including fruit trees came into existence before the sun.
So the argument against the Bible is that it disagrees with science?
Am I moronic?
Someone here is.
the argument is that "science" says its impossible for god to magic plants into existence before magicking the sun into existence
No anon it’s that the sun is older than plants on earth.
This wasn’t obvious to Iron Age peoples.
>the sun is older than plants on earth
prove it
The argument implies that if the sun was created a day before plant everything would be dandy.
The argument implies that there's nothing wrong with God creating the sun, but the it was created in the right time.
That's not how you make an argument.
A proper argument contradicts a premise from itself; from something the premise in contingent upon.
The premise is that the genesis creation story is absurd and one of the funniest details is that they got the origin of sun and plants in the wrong order.
plants can go one day without the sun numb nuts
maybe god wanted something pretty to look at after he made the sun huh
Does it feel like you’re talking to a dumb person when you’re talking to the Christian? Well chances are, you are talking to a dumb person.

>lose argument
>heh, well i bet ur stupid! take that
the power of atheist intellectualism
It disagrees with facts. So are we moving on from your bullshit plant growing in your darkened home story and we’re back to you defending the claim that plants came into existence before the sun?
If we know plants can grow without the sun why is it difficult to say plants preceded the sun?
>If we know plants can grow without the sun
i dont even see how this matters considering theres no reason to believe god cant just physically hold plants in some kind of stasis, or better yet, in a state more akin to a platonic ideal form
This is actually pretty weird because it's not like agriculture was unheard of when this was written. Surely they understood that plants need sunlight to grow?
