This is the best impersonation of creationist style arguing I've seen in a while.

No one is making this argument.

Well someone needs to take the creationist approach. This discussion was going nowhere.

Stuudy Genesis more.
CogitoErgoSum writes:
First posting, having read these forums from afar, so bear with me. Not my specialisation really, I teach Biology, but having to teach life cycles of stars I did a little research. If our sun is second, or third generation ; as they have found out by looking at the composition, does this not negate the whole "let there be light" narrative. The fact that our sun actually formed from a supernova of a previous sun means we have already had light. I await being torn apart with trepidation !
That might conflict with Genesis, IF extra study wasn't done, because, according to Genesis, NO STARS WERE MADE UNTIL GOD SAID, "LET THERE BE LIGHT", therefore, how could a supernova created our star! (Using your same logic)

you're going to have to "Stuudy Genesis" even more than that.

the sun, moon, and stars are created on day four, not day one ("let there be light" etc).

Mythology...
There is no scientific evidence for the Genesis myth, nor for the myth of a young earth.
Those stories are ancient tribal myths. One might as believe in the myth of a flat earth.

Religious belief does not constitute scientific evidence, nor does it convey scientific knowledge.

Re: Assumptions
CogitoErgoSum writes:
Pretty hefty assumptions here.
(1) Sol contains elements other than hydrogen and helium? Has anyone taken a sample from the sun and tested it out? Blowing hot air much these days?
(2) You assume these elements didn't form in the big bang.
(3) You assume there was a big bang.
(4) Sol is not a first generation star, which goes back to the circular argument.
(5) Sol has metalic elements. Again, anyone ever taken a sample from the sun? Seems to me like the scientific community is just blowing hot air on this one LOL
1) One word - spectroscopy, however there are other methods, see Error 404 - non-existent address, high school science really.
2) The EVIDENCE for the big bang suggests these elements didn't form in the big bang.
http://www.umich.edu/~gs265/bigbang.htm. There are links to other articles at the bottom, and quite a good finishing paragraph.
3) See 2
4) The EVIDENCE from 2, and the EVIDENCE from 1, along with what we know about supernova etc. would suggest that Sol is not a first generation star.
5) see 1
If you are looking for 100% proof, never going to happen, as I am sure has been pointed out on these forums there is no such thing as 100% proof. However the EVIDENCE leads us to... is not the same as assumptions.
Creationists, with some legitimacy. might argue that your #2 and #4 are not cut in stone, so to speak.
The BB theory, upon which both are based has some questionable unknown aspects like no existing area in which to have happened, no known before the event, no existing outside of in which to have expanded and no existing time in which to have happened.

There has been, however, cited evidence of the credibility of the Biblical record, which does not literally depict a young earth. All hypotheses and theories have their problematic improbabilities.

You are equivocating hypothesis and theory.
Please give us the definition you are using for those words.

There is no credible evidence for a young earth. None.
There is a massive amount of evidence for an old earth.
The Genesis account is tribal myth, subject to multiple interpretations depending on belief. It is not hypothesis or theory, both of which are subject to, or the result of, testing against empirical evidence.
All hypotheses and theories have their problematic improbabilities.
Not sure what this means. If you are saying that scientific theories are tentative, well, we all know that.
If you are saying that scientific theories are just random guesswork unsupported by factual evidence and successful predictions, you are incorrect. In spite of what a lot of creationists may tell you, "theory" does not mean "guesswork."

Religious belief does not constitute scientific evidence, nor does it convey scientific knowledge.

Re: Mythology...
There are no scientific hypotheses or theories based upon anything biblical.
Why didn't you answer the second part of my post?

Re: you're going to have to "Stuudy Genesis" even more than that.
It is my personal theory that 'round things' were created on day four.
whatever these round things were they came between the earliest living things (tree-like things) of day 3 and the living nephesh's (oxygen breathers) of day five
