[__ Science __ ] Man was in Pangaea

The word day means a period-of-time, depending on context. Usually, it is twenty-four hours, but the beginning and end times that tell of the eternal God are the exception.

Depending on the planet in the solar system within the long clock.

Fangs and meat shredding back teeth. Claws for holding and slashing. Metabolism that will not survive an all-plant diet. No, I don't think so.

Your disagreement is the Bible, not me.

 

[dwb001]

As you just learned, God means something very specific about "forming" humans. It's not what you thought.

When did I learn anything from this thread?

 

[dwb001]

In Genesis He made the planets also. because ancient people didn't have a telescope. People called them wondering stars.
A shooting star is a flaming rock.

All "luminaries" and translated as stars in the Bible.

 

[Barbarian]

When did I learn anything from this thread?

Maybe nothing, I suppose.

 

[dwb001]

Maybe nothing, I suppose.

And that would reflect on the teacher.

 

[Barbarian]

And that would reflect on the teacher.

Well, Jesus had that issue when He was at a larger objective, too.

Matthew 13:15 For this people's heart is waxed gross, and their ears are dull of hearing, and their eyes they have closed; lest at any time they should see with their eyes, and hear with their ears, and should understand with their heart, and should be converted, and I should heal them.

(Barbarian shakes the dust from his shoes) So I'm in good company.

 

[Barbarian]

Your disagreement is the Bible, not me.

I can merely point out that the Bible does not say God created carnivores to eat plants. You just made that up.

Is it beginning to occur to you that the Bible is not a science book? It's not about how tigers eat. It's about God and man and our relationship and how to have a relationship with Him. If you try to use it otherwise, you will always be misled.

Gen 1:30 says you are wrong.

 

[Barbarian]

Gen 1:30 says you are wrong.

No. As you see, God made spiders, Tigers, etc. unable to survive on plant life. Reality beats anyone's interpretation of scripture. One literalist suggested that Eden lacked any carnivores, who were all outside the garden. Which is reasonable. But beside the point.

So when the Bible directly contradicts your pet theory... you throw the Bible under the bus.
You haven't engaged with the verse at all.
Gen 1:30 states that all beasts of the earth ate green herbs. Which part of that is saying... except the spiders and tigers.

 

[Barbarian]

So when the Bible directly contradicts your pet theory... you throw the Bible under the bus.

I just showed how you were doing that. Instead of inventing things like "Bible says tigers were vegetarians", why not just focus on what God is telling you? Hint: it's not about carnivores being vegetarians. One literalist suggested that Eden lacked any carnivores, who were all outside the garden. Which is reasonable. But beside the point.

Again you don't engage with the verse.
The verse says all animals on land where ruminants.
Don't argue with me... but rather with the text.

 

[Barbarian]

The verse says all animals on land where ruminants.

Nope. That's another of your additions to scripture. You're arguing with the text again.

Perhaps you don't know what "ruminants" means?

Again, you're straining at gnats. Listen to what God is actually saying to you in the Bible, and these things won't be a distraction for you any more.

 

[BeyondET]

All "luminaries" and translated as stars in the Bible.

The word luminaries is a YL Translation which imo is lacking a full understanding of light.

And you refuse to engage with the text.
How am I arguing with the text when the text agrees with me?

Perhaps you don't know what "ruminants" means?

Maybe read the about me section of my bio.

Again, you're straining at gnats. Listen to what God is actually saying to you in the Bible, and these things won't be a distraction for you any more.

So please explain Gen 1:30.

And to every beast of the earth, and to every fowl of the air, and to every thing that creeps on the earth, wherein there is life, I have given every green herb for meat: and it was so.

What part of EVERY BEAST OF THE EARTH excludes tigers?

 

[dwb001]

Don't know who this YL is.
And you have a full understanding of light?

 

[Barbarian]

And you refuse to engage with the text.
How am I arguing with the text when the text agrees with me?

Because it doesn't agree with you. Nothing whatever about ruminants.

Perhaps you don't know what "ruminants" means?

Maybe read the about me section of my bio.

Better to just note this:
Ruminant: Any of various hoofed, even-toed, usually horned mammals of the suborder Ruminantia, such as cattle, sheep, deer, antelopes, and giraffes

You have a different definition? That would explicitly exclude tigers. No rumin. Interestingly, whales retain a primitive rumin. Evolved from artiodactyls, (even-toed ungulates) you know.

You're still letting your own ideas pull you away from what God is trying to show you in the Bible. Let go of your own wishes, and just listen to him. It's not about tigers having rumins. It's not about spiders being herbivores. It's about God and man and our relationship. That's good enough for God. It should be good enough for you.

For the umpteenth time... will you address Gen 1:30 or not?
