DICK JONES No, this is NOT what Genesis says, but this is what Hubble proved mathematically. MCGILL Genesis Chapter 1:5 says:"...And the evening and the morning were the first day". Verse 8 says:"...And the evening and the morning were the second day". Verse 13 says:"And the evening and the morning were the third day:". Verse 14 says:"And God said, Let there be lights in the firmament of the heaven to divide the day from the night; and let them be for signs, and for seasons, and for days, and years:". Verse 19 says:"And the evening and the morning were the fourth day". My question is how can you have evening and morning on the first, second, and third day when the solar system and stars weren't created until the 4th day? Also on the first day the earth was non existent, Verse 2"And the earth was without form, and VOID;.." The earth wasn't created untill the third day, Verse 9 & 10"...let the dry land appear: and it was so. And God called the dry land Earth; and the gathering together of the waters called he Seas:..". In order to have evening and morning you need the earth and the Solar system, stars and planets, they weren't created till the 4th day. Evening and morning is created as the Earth turns on it's axis around the Sun (star). Genesis 2:1,2 says"Thus THE HEAVENS AND THE EARTH WERE FINISHED, and all the host of them. And on the seventh day God ended his work which he had made; and he rested on the seventh day from all his work which he had made." According to Genesis on the 4th day God created the stars, and yet astronomers are discovering new stars being created. On page 82 of CONCISE BOOK OF ASTRONOMY it says"The beautiful Orion nebula is a birthplace of the stars. In 1978 an ENTIRELY NEW STAR BEGAN to switch on in Orion, thus PROVING that it really is a cosmic nursery." On page 81 of the CONCISE BOOK OF ASTRONOMY by Mitton it says"An EXCITING DISCOVERY about the gas CLOUDS (NEBULAE) of space is that NEW STARS are BEING MADE inside them ALL THE TIME. Astronomers have actually seen new stars turn on INSIDE THE ORION NEBULA. +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Religion and Science are like two modems on a noisy phone line - except that only one of them has an error correction protocol. Religion, on the other hand, will dig in and try to hold its ground no matter how much evidence is discovered that disputes the "truth" of its doctrines.-Farrell Till
