Bible Discussion Thread

Just to clarify; God created Earth on day one, vegetation on day three and the moon sun and stars on day four. Now since we are able to observe star systems at all stages of development and none that I know of start with planets and then produce suns, I wonder did God simply make an exception when creating the solar system? Also if the Earth is older than the stars, how is it that we are able to see so many of the most distant ones. We should not be able to see anything more distant than about 4.5 billion light years away. Of course things get much worse if you believe in a young Earth because the limit would then be a mere few thousand light years which means we shouldn't even be able to see most of our own galaxy.

Now since the content of 'firmament the resolve' neither appears in any peer reviewed scientific journal nor claims to be the word of God. I fail to see with what authority it speaks!

Finally since Genesis is a Jewish creation 'myth'. I also fail to see what Jesus has got to do with it.
