Does God make sky blue, ocean blue ?

Question

The sky and ocean (sea) are blue in the day time. Does God of Genesis made it blue ?

It's a nice try, however, not enough information. I am more looking on to someone who could explain light's density which measeure by nm.

Sean B,

If someone say, God created your brain and eyes to reflect the light; what would be your answer

(BTW, It's a very good explaination, of course I did know it's correct answer:) )

Answer 1

No, God doesn't make the sky blue. A clear cloudless day-time sky is blue because molecules in the air scatter blue light from the sun more than they scatter red light. When we look towards the sun at sunset, we see red and orange colours because the blue light has been scattered out and away from the line of sight.

The white light from the sun is a mixture of all colours of the rainbow. This was demonstrated by Isaac Newton, who used a prism to separate the different colours and so form a spectrum. The colours of light are distinguished by their different wavelengths. The visible part of the spectrum ranges from red light with a wavelength of about 720 nm, to violet with a wavelength of about 380 nm, with orange, yellow, green, blue and indigo between. The three different types of colour receptors in the retina of the human eye respond most strongly to red, green and blue wavelengths, giving us our colour vision.



For the ocean question... Some of the sunlight is reflected off the surface of the water, reflecting the color of the sky. Some of the sunlight penetrates the water and is scattered by ripples and particles in the water (this tinges the appearance of the ocean with the color of the particles). In deep water, much of the sunlight is scattered by the oxygen in the water, and this scatters more of the blue light.

Answer 2

The ocean isn't blue, it's the reflection of light from the sky that makes it appear to be blue.

Answer 3

The light from the sky is a result of diffuse sky radiation which results in a light blue color being perceived by the human eye. On a sunny day the earth sky usually looks as a blue gradient — dark in the zenith, light near the horizon (due to Rayleigh scattering). It can turn a multitude of colors such as purple (especially near sunset and sunrise) and black at night. Scattering effects also partially polarize light from the sky.

Answer 4

You notice the ones who break God's wonderful creation down to scientific terms in order to deny Him. Well, it doesn't deny God because He made everything.

Answer 5

Yes God has made them and all else that is in existence

Answer 6

God directed the creation of the sky and the ocean, so whatever color it is, God gets the credit.

Answer 7

Nope. They are not blue by the way. Colors are refracted rays of sun-light through atmosphere, nothing else.

Answer 8

Oceans are light green also. Skies are pink, white, and yellow at times. What is your point?

Answer 9

Yes, He designed it

Answer 10

god made everything, so yea he made the sky and ocean blue.

unless you live in the gulf of mexico (biloxi MS) where the gulf is brown!!
