Re: The Science of the Bible
You're really reaching here, Paul.......I think any five year old knows the sun is the source of day light.
Well, it's pretty obvious that GOD didn't.
Genesis 1
1: In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth.
2: And the earth was without form, and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters.
3: And God said, Let there be light: and there was light.
4: And God saw the light, that it was good: and God divided the light from the darkness.
5: And God called the light Day, and the darkness he called Night. And the evening and the morning were the first day.
Notice that this is daylight and night.
Day and Night. Light and Dark.
But where is the sun?
14: 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:
15: And let them be for lights in the firmament of the heaven to give light upon the earth: and it was so.
16: And God made two great lights; the greater light to rule the day, and the lesser light to rule the night: he made the stars also.
17: And God set them in the firmament of the heaven to give light upon the earth,
18: And to rule over the day and over the night, and to divide the light from the darkness: and God saw that it was good.
19: And the evening and the morning were the fourth day.
Why the sun shows up several days later.

Again, I have the feeling that you do not quite understand what you are discussing.
The ancient Hebrews were not stupid. They had words describing a ball as well as words descibing a circle. A sphere is not a circle.
And about the Functional hemispherectomy.
What brought the subject up was your assertion that we could use more of our brain, that we use less than 100%, and then you made the jump to hemispherectomies as support.
First, this involves the cerebral cortex, which while the largest part, is only part of the brain.
Second, it involves a lateral division, right or left side. It cannot work front to back. It only works side to side. You cannot remove the frontal lobes and still maintain their functionality. You cannot remove the temporal lobes and still maintain their functionality. You cannot remove the occipital lobes and still maintain their functionality. You canot remove the parietal lobes and still maintain their functionality.
Third, to be a candidate you must first have one hemisphere of the cerebral cortex that is not functioning. The reason is that in such cases, some of the functionality that is usually found only on one side of the brain may also be duplicated on the other.
Finally, to say that just because parts of the brain can be removed does not imply that those parts were not being used, or that those parts could be used for other functions.
The problem with your posts is that you tend to make fanciful leaps from generalized statements. Unless you can back up such statements, it does not help debate or discussion.

Re: The Science of the Bible
You're making the assertion that Biblical scribes couldn't figure out what most of us figures out by the time we're three..........this is ridiculous and desperate.
I asserted nothing. I simple posted what the Bible says.
Light and dark, day and night were created on day one.
Now, according to Genesis, when was the sun created?
In case you missed it...
Well, it's pretty obvious that GOD didn't.
Genesis 1
1: In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth.
2: And the earth was without form, and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters.
3: And God said, Let there be light: and there was light.
4: And God saw the light, that it was good: and God divided the light from the darkness.
5: And God called the light Day, and the darkness he called Night. And the evening and the morning were the first day.
Notice that this is daylight and night.
Day and Night. Light and Dark.
But where is the sun?
14: 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:
15: And let them be for lights in the firmament of the heaven to give light upon the earth: and it was so.
16: And God made two great lights; the greater light to rule the day, and the lesser light to rule the night: he made the stars also.
17: And God set them in the firmament of the heaven to give light upon the earth,
18: And to rule over the day and over the night, and to divide the light from the darkness: and God saw that it was good.
19: And the evening and the morning were the fourth day.
Why the sun shows up several days later.
So question, when was day and night created?
When was the sun created?
