Jews and Christians answer this...yes I asked a few minutess ago but I provide further details now?

Question

Jews/ Christians....answer this........................
In Genesis 1 we are told God created light and seperated it from the darkness. This happening on the first day.
He doesn't bother creating the sun or the stars until the fourth day. He created plant life on the third day by the way. Isn't the sun light needed for photosynthesis?

The question obviously is what was the source of light if the sun wasn't created untill the fourth day?

Let's see you explain this one.

Most answers were God was the source of the light. If God was the source of the light why did He need to create light.

If He created light on the first day, what was God doing before just floating around in utter darkness......sounds like one of the descriptions of hell found in the New Testament.

Answer 1

Great question. I guess I would also ask who wrote what God did down since there is no person at that time? How do we know that it happened like it says in the bible. I mean we already know that not everything in the bible is true to begin with. So how did the plant survive? We already know that a day to God is years to us. So that is a really great question. I guess I would have to go further back and ask why then did God have to separate himself from the darkness? Why was there darkness if he was the light? Wouldn't he have had to make darkness instead of making light? I guess we have blown the "God is the light" thing away haven't we.

Answer 2

My answer to this as an open minded yet very conservative Christian is that I don't think the Genesis account is meant to be a science textbook explaining exactly how the world was created. It is in my opinion meant to tell us why we are here, who created us, it demonstrates the mighty power of God and shows us how me squandered our free will by choosing the evil we still see today. It would be a lot easier to believe if it were a textbook that talked about molecular structures and evolution, etc... but it was meant to be story that explained creation to people 4000 years ago.

I don't know if that still seems stupid but any other reading of it has always struck me as missing the point. When people try to explain what the "firmament" was and how a day actually meant this or that and that created dinosaurs on the day he created animals, it all just seems delusional. Then New Testament however, you can take every word literally. Well, maybe not Revelations.

Answer 3

How many stars do you see on a cloudy night? Are there nights when you do not see most of them?
A day is like a thousand years to God, and a thousand years is like a day. When the writings concerning the creation were first commited to papyrus or animal skins in the days of Moses all things were very much closer to the actual events.
You truly do strain at a gnat and swallow a camel.
Provide further details to your questions, if you wish, and details will be removed from the answers you receive. You have not yet heard the answer you demand to hear. Salvation is a gift that is given through faith. You will never receive enough answers to remove the need for it.

You do realize the Garden of Eden is being guarded, right?

Answer 4

John 1:1-5 "In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. He was in the beginning with God. All things came into being though him, and without him not one thing came into being. What has come into being in him was life, and the life was the light of all people. The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness did not overcome the light"

On the first day God created light, the light being the Word. The Word was Jesus.

Answer 5

Um, God can do whatever He chooses, so He could have used some other source of light until He created the Earths sun, such as an intensified light from other "suns" in the solar system. Just because the Bible doesn't tell everything exact exact doesn't make it any less reliable or useful, or make it wrong for those who so choose to use it. Pick a fight elsewhere.

Answer 6

Well, I do not ask questions like that so I can not reply THAT query. You are mindful that, logically, evolution is ridiculously inconceivable? What I surprise is, "Why do not any of those evolution fans ever give an explanation for how on the planet a cellphone 'comes to a decision' to do some thing instead of mirror itself accurately?" In truth, that approach is probably referred to as, "Cancer" and it KILLS the host organism. Seriously, we've got a wide variety of regular "this mutated into this, which in flip mutated into this" junk floating round however has any person ever OBSERVED an organism evolving? Not genetic decision, now, that is no longer what I'm speakme approximately. Sure, if best tall folks get married and feature youngsters, populations gets taller. But give an explanation for to me at what identifiable factor cells begin replacing on their possess and species "come to be new species." At what factor does the little legless organism's DNA come to a decision, "I consider we will develop a few nubs in these days. Ready men? Okay. MUTATE!" How approximately, "surprise dual powers, turn on?? Form of ______ Shape of ______" I'm certainly no longer a scientist. But I'm asking a major query. Show me how this works on a mobile degree and exhibit me the duplication outcome. Then I'll be inclined to don't forget this "idea" as a possible suggestion.

Answer 7

That is what He thought too that is why he said "Let there be light. Then after it existed he made all things of it. Separating light from darkness was organizing matter (which is organized light) from energy (which is light) Of course the scientific knowledge between the first statement and now precluded the story making the trip. Actually most people do not understand anything about cosmology today.

Answer 8

Did you know that in a sense the scientific explanation of a proto-sun and its emerging into a true sun entails the same things Genesis does?

See the creation page, and if you don't like to read about God, skip the first two paragraphs!

Be sure to read about the light day one and four in detail.

Answer 9

Jesus is the light of the world. He does not need the sun for His light to illuminate. The sun is a source of energy, heat and of light. But if one has the light of Christ, they will never walk in darkness.

Answer 10

Its called faith for a reason my friend. You either have it or you don't. Are you asking because you are searching for something, or are you truly trying to make others question their own faith. The bible says many things that I don't understand, if I try to figure out what is being said word for word I will come back with many questions. I however have faith that when I die, all will be made clear to me. Life on Earth is only 80 years out of eternity. Live yours as you like, and I will live mine as I like. The consequences for me being wrong are much less than the consequences to you if you are wrong.
