But if the day and night were made possible by the Sun and stars then it seems that they were there on day 1.
But according to the Bible they were NOT there on day one unless God is a liar.
Now,listen closely to day 4.
14And 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:
15And let them be for lights in the firmament of the heaven to give light upon the earth: and it was so.
16And 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.
17And God set them in the firmament of the heaven to give light upon the earth,
18And to rule over the day and over the night, and to divide the light from the darkness: and God saw that it was good.
19And the evening and the morning were the fourth day."
God does not make the Sun and Moon until the 4
th. day. This also proves that the people of the time did not understand where light came from since they claim the moon provides light.
The issue in this thread though is whether or not creationists (and I assume what is meant is Biblical Creationists) are returning to their YEC roots. It appears based on listening to the propaganda spouted by Christian Televangelists that they are, and that is both comforting and sad.
It is comforting because lots of people will look at what they say, hear them talk about a young earth or th 6day creation or the flood as fact and realize the televangelists are simply lying.
It is sad because so many people don't realize that the leaders of the Christian Evangelical and Fundamentalist movements are simply lying to them.
