T8: “Easy to do if there is a slight hill.”

Generally speaking, the people that make football fields strive to make the field level.

T8: “Yes it is historical, but it is not an everyday historical event like Jesus waking up in the morning and climbing a mountain to pray. There was no sun according to you for the first 3 days and the morning of the fourth day. That is not everyday and the language too is not everyday.”

Glad to see you admit it was an historical event.…[Read more]

T8: “You can clearly see the bottom of the buildings are cut off from view.”

In case you missed the point Mike made it was that all of the buildings should be well under the curve.

Also, it has been explained and demonstrated here that the atmosphere both magnifies and bends the light down thru refraction which explains the missing little…[Read more]

T8: “Plus, I don’t think the Fibonacci Code draws even flower petals, it’s more about spirals.”

I believe you need to educate yourself on this. This is a fascinating subject!

T8 “The creation event like prophecy is not the same as a recorded event in history right?”

That may be your conclusion but many who believe in the Word of God do view it as an historical event.

How can Mercury be visable in your simple model?

Some more complicated things.

Mila: “Sorry if I am replying to old posts. But why can’t we take the seven days of creation as seven literal days? The Sabbath is on the seventh literal 24 hour day. The “one day for a thousand days” quote is obviously not literal, and neither is the one thousand years in Revelation. A thousand years in Revelation indicates a long period of time.…[Read more]

Mike: “During a three year period, we landed six missions on the moon. How many photos from the moon do we have to show the place we live? A handful. Can you imagine that? The first time men were able to see our very home from another celestial body, and they only took one or two photos of it each time? Meanwhile, according to that video you…[Read more]

Don’t be too hard on them Andrew, they’ll come around.

Gene, scriptural truth teaches that the sun was created on day 4 after the earth was created. Is that what you believe?

In my father’s day he would always say, “work while it is still day because the night is sure to follow”. He maintained this position until the day he died.

Common sense people.

My father was born on the first day of the second month in the year 1939.

Which meaning does the word “day” have in the above sentence? Notice the qualifiers?…[Read more]

T8/strawman 1) Okay, let’s run with your hypothesis and see how far it gets us. You have established that because the word ‘day’ is mentioned, it then is specifically referring to a 24 hour period. So you take an absolute literal sense.

I have always maintained that the use of the word “day” is always predicated on the context. In the speci…[Read more]

Perhaps you’re right Gene, maybe most simpletons believe the earth is a sphere.

As for why have a thread like this one, maybe God just wants to see who believes His Word.

T8, all you have done is created a strawman argument. When the word day is used the context must be taken into account, as I have repeatedly said. However, when it is said that there was evening and morning one day, what does this tell you about the context? Be honest.

T8: “Not my theory at all. I believe 7 stages which could have been 7 minutes or 7 million years. It doesn’t give us the exact unit.”

Yes it it does give us the exact unit – a day. But your 7 million years might give enough time for the earth’s evolution. That is if your into that evolution stuff.

Since neither could account for the evolution of the earth in a naturalistic way then why don’t we take God at His word?  We can call it one week or 7 days with the sun being made on day 4.

The Scripture that says, “But do not let this one fact escape your notice, beloved, that with the Lord one day is like a thousand years, and a thousand years like one day.” Does not mean that a day is a thousand years or a thousand years are a day. It simply describes God’s timelessness. God is outside of time and not effected by it – but we…[Read more]

The Earth has an equatorial bulge of 42.77 km (26.58 mi); that is, its diameter measured across the equatorial plane (12,756.27 km (7,926.38 mi)) is 42.77 km more than that measured between the poles (12,713.56 km (7,899.84 mi)).

Wow, I stand corrected. It’s not 14 miles but 26 miles according to your source.

So is it your point that a force…[Read more]

T8: “6 distinct stages; A beginning and ending of each period; Sun appeared in the firmament in the 4th stage;”

Your word is “stage” the biblical word is day.

You claim the sun “appeared” on the 4th ” stage”, however the Bible says the sun was “made” on day 4.
