Bible Question:
Dear Members of this Forum, Help Help Help! Here is another letter to the editor a friend of ours presented to us. What is the answer to why God would create the sun on the fourth day when it is our source of energy and so much larger than the earth? Why is the bible filled with statements implying the earth does not move, it has ends, corners, pillars and foundations? Dear Editor, The Theory of Creation is as the Theory of Evolution, just a theory. What people care to believe depends on their level of intelligence. The concept of Creation comes from primitive knowledge that is found in a book written 3000 years ago while the Theory of Evolution is supported by intellectuals grounded in modern science. Evolutionism may not be totally accurate or completely provable, but it is far more credible than Creationism. Just look at Genesis 1:14-19. In it Moses, the inventor of Creationism, writes that God created the sun on the fourth day. Huh? The fourth day? In grade school we learned that the sun, being 1.299 million times larger than the earth, is the reason we have days and nights. How is it possible to have three days and three nights before the existence of a sun? Further in this creationism book (1 Chr 16:30, Ps 93:1, Ps 96:10) you will find that it says the earth is stable and does not move. What? Does not move? Grade school science taught us the earth rotates on its axis at a speed of 1040 mph and the speed at which it revolves around the sun is 62,400 miles per hour. ???The earth cannot be moved??? The source of creationism is seriously flawed as it also says the earth rests on pillars, has foundations, ends and corners. Check it out; 1 Sam 2:8, Job 9:6, Ps 104:5, Dan 4:11, 2 Sam 22:16, Job 38:4-6,13, Isa 11:12, Eze 7:2, Heb 1:10 and Rev 7:1. It is mind boggling to see how so many people commit intellectual rape believing the fairy tale story of creation. How is it possible that an elementary knowledge of our world doesn't simply cancel the primitive science of ancient times and its confounding Theory of Creation? Darlene Ramsey My boyfriend and I are asking why is the bible not specific about our majestic sphere we call earth? Why do bible authors not talk about the extinction of many of God's creatures especially dinosaurs? kamschoolgrad |
Bible Answer: Without creationism, evolutionism could not exist. For something to exist it must be created and everything created will evolve. The bible, Old and New Testaments are records of how God created our existence, gave us instructions how best to live in His creation and identifies how we evolved in the wrong direction. Nature evolves in the direction it is designed to go and man interrupts the design. You can argue a big bang, or aliens or God created our existence, but science has proved that all life has a design. Actually the intellectual grounded modern science shows the correctness of the primitive knowledge. Genesis 1:1-19 Tells us that God plural Heavens and a singular earth. When God said let there be light it was to light up the heavens and the earth. Then God made a firmament, in other words he made, something that divided the earth from the other heavens and allowed the production of oxygen. The oxygen when hit by the ultraviolet rays of the sun created the protection from the sun so that God could then create life. The ozone layer is a layer in Earth's atmosphere which contains relatively high concentrations of ozone (O3). This layer absorbs 93-99percent of the sun's high frequency ultraviolet light, which is potentially damaging to life on earth.[1] Over 91 percent of the ozone in Earth's atmosphere is present here.[1] It is mainly located in the lower portion of the stratosphere from approximately 10 km to 50 km above Earth's surface, though the thickness varies seasonally and geographically. Ozone in the earth's stratosphere is created by ultraviolet light striking oxygen molecules containing two oxygen atoms (O2), splitting them into individual oxygen atoms (atomic oxygen); the atomic oxygen then combines with unbroken O2 to create ozone, O3. After the ozone layer or sky was made to support the oxygen needed for life, God made the land and vegetation that will support life. I write; God didn’t create light on the fourth day. God divided the light between day and night. So that there would be seasons and the right light for the diverse life cycles. 1 Chr 16:30 Tremble before him, all the earth: The world also is established that it cannot be moved. Ps 93:1 Jehovah reigneth; He is clothed with majesty; Jehovah is clothed with strength; he hath girded himself therewith: The world also is established, that it cannot be moved. Ps 96:10 Say among the nations, Jehovah reigneth: The world also is established that it cannot be moved: He will judge the peoples with equity. I write; The use of earth or world in these verse’s are in reference to people. 1 Sam 2:8 He raiseth up the poor out of the dust, He lifteth up the needy from the dunghill, To make them sit with princes, And inherit the throne of glory: For the pillars of the earth are Jehovah’s, And he hath set the world upon them. 2 Sam 22:16 Then the channels of the sea appeared, The foundations of the world were laid bare, By the rebuke of Jehovah, At the blast of the breath of his nostrils. Job 9:6 That shaketh the earth out of its place, And the pillars thereof tremble; Job 38:4 Where wast thou when I laid the foundations of the earth? Declare, if thou hast understanding. 5) Who determined the measures thereof, if thou knowest? Or who stretched the line upon it? 6) Whereupon were the foundations thereof fastened? Or who laid the corner-stone thereof, 13) That it might take hold of the ends of the earth, And the wicked be shaken out of it? Ps 104:5 Who laid the foundations of the earth, That it should not be moved for ever. Isa 11:12, And he will set up an ensign for the nations, and will assemble the outcasts of Israel, and gather together the dispersed of Judah from the four corners of the earth. Eze 7:2, And thou, son of man, thus saith the Lord Jehovah unto the land of Israel, An end: the end is come upon the four corners of the land. Dan 4:11 The tree grew, and was strong, and the height thereof reached unto heaven, and the sight thereof to the end of all the earth. Heb 1:10 And, Thou, Lord, in the beginning didst lay the foundation of the earth, And the heavens are the works of thy hands: Rev 7:1 After his I saw four angels standing at the four corners of the earth, holding the four winds of the earth, that no wind should blow on the earth, or on the sea, or upon any tree. I write; The foundation, world, pillars, are all terms used to identify the design of nature, and the four corners is another way of saying the whole world. To answer your final question about why the design of life and nature are not told to us. Actually it is told to us we just have to know where to look. The answer is how we accept knowledge. Do we include Gods knowledge when we learn or doe we use a mans knowledge when we learn. |
