point but still it shows that you can get oil pretty quickly.

According to the Strong’s Concordance, the Hebrew word for day used in the creation story found in Genesis can be translated both literally (as in from Sunrise to Sunset or Sunrise to Sunrise) or figuratively as in an age. Generally, these words are use literally more often than not, so I am inclined to believe in a literal 7-day creation.

In the current world all light needs a source. The source for that light would have been God since John 1:1-5 says: "1In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. 2He was with God in the beginning. 3Through him all things were made; without him nothing was made that has been made. 4In him was life, and that life was the light of men. 5The light shines in the darkness, but the darkness has not understood it."

This really belongs in a thread other than "Do Aliens Exist?", since it really doesn’t have a bearing on the thread’s real topic.

what?
that didn’t make any sense kindly rephrase it. Oh and I answered your question about the core and electricity last night.
to recap it


Yes we are theorizing. but almost all scientists agree there is electro magnetism going on.
anyway One of the theories (called the rapid decay theory) used to explain it is that the electrical current of the earth is a consequence of how the earth was created.
The other theory (the dynamo theory) states that the rotation of the earth and other random currents cause the liquids in the core to move in one general direction causing motion of electrical charges and thus causing an electrical current.
While the theories both explained things on earth so they were tested on other planets. The Dynamo theory said that mars had a magnetic field while the RD(rapid decay) theory said it didn’t testing indicates that mars has no Magnetic field. The dynamo theory predicted to magnetic field on mercury while the RD theory predicted one. Mercury has a magnetic field. The RD theory was correct on Uranus and Neptune while the dynamo theory was off by a factor of 100.
Anyway the RD theory says that unless the earth was less then 10,000 yrs. old the current needed to maintain the field would have exploded the earth!
help any?

I understand the poetic use of the idea of light, thats the whole basis for Christmas. No one knows the exact day Jesus was born but they put his birthday in december because it’s a very dark and cold time and Jesus is supposed to be the light of the world.

Out of curiousity, how do you justify dinosaur bones in the 10k theory?

Where did you get this stuff about the reason for Christmas being in December?

The early Christian in about 100-200 A.D. decided to replace the normal Mid-Winter Pagan festivities with a celebration of the birth of Christ.

I don’t understand this: if there was a God why did he screw up the order? He made light, 2 days later made a source of light, on the 2nd day he made vegetation and life but without the sun (even for one day) it would have been too cold for those things to survive. The reason why I say it is flawed is because if God is almighty and intelligent and all knowing, etc, etc why would he create a light source then disregard it at a later date only to be replaced by another light source. Instead, he could have created the planets on the first day, then waited for the speed of heat to get into the Earth’s atmosphere, then create life and vegetation so that those things can actually survive without special restrictions. To say that God made exemptions for their survival just screams stupid to me as far as an unintelligent rebuttal and a dumb God. Why would God defy his own laws in the beginning when he could have simply made the earth the way he wanted it to be so life could start off in the environment needed to survive and contain the conditions needed for said life? It doesn’t make sense. If I was creating a universe, I’d start with the essentials. Like if your making corn bread. You have to start with all of the ingredients. But if you don’t have eggs and milk, it will be rather hard to mix everything else together and put it in the oven only to, in 10 minutes, go back in and mix in the eggs and milk. That would be terrible cornbread and it doesn’t say much for my ability to create something that is simply amazing but it surely doesn’t say much for my culinary skills.

Oh and you can’t use the literal term for day as "sunrise sunset" unless there was a sun, so the first 2 days are undefinable.

And even opn the third day when the sun was created, it would take a rather significant time for the heat to reach the moon and the earth.

High School Religion classes.

After all, when you get down to it, it’s (Christianity) a sect of Judaism anyway.
