I am assuming you dodn't even find the Bible valid, but here goes.
Genesis 1:1 In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth.
Genesis 1:2 The earth was formless and void, and darkness was over the
surface of the deep, and the Spirit of God was moving over the surface of
the waters.
Genesis 1:3 Then God said, Let there be light; and there was light.
Genesis 1:4 God saw that the light was good; and God separated the light
from the darkness.
Genesis 1:5 God called the light day, and the darkness He called night.
And there was evening and there was morning, one day.
Genesis 1:6 Then God said, Let there be an expanse in the midst of the
waters, and let it separate the waters from the waters.
Genesis 1:7 God made the expanse, and separated the waters which were
below the expanse from the waters which were above the expanse; and it
was so.
My notes:
V.2 I get the obvious sense that there was some type of Earth since it
says "...surface...waters..." but I am not too sure to what extent that
means. This could have been some age of the dinosaurs? I don't know. I
think its possible though. There is a canopy theory for the flood.
Maybe we are a cycle of mankind? Not sure.
V.3 Did create create a
sun/star for our solar system after the Big Bang? I am not too sure. It
would seem that the Earth would be a frozen mass of ice with no heat
source, but that would still be water. And ICE AGE? Hmmm?
POOBAH
I want to be the first to go on record as saying that you, Shawn, are a
loonie. Is there any reasonable scientific theory that shows that the earth
preexists the sun? Ice ages have always been preceeded/followed by warming
periods, how can you explain that in v3 since there is no sun yet? Your
smorgasbord approach to science I am sure is only equaled by your
smorgasbord approach to interpreting the Bible.
But before we get distracted by this, for the record: Am I to take your
silence on the matter of personal experience as an admission that you have
no logical reason why we should accept your personal experience but reject
that of Mormons/Muslims/Catholics/Hindus/et. al.? If you ignore this
question, we'll just take it as a "yes."
