Sense.

"And God called the light Day, and the darkness he called Night. And the evening and the morning were the first day."

But the sun and moon and stars were not created until the 4th day, so how could there be evening and morning on the 1st day if there was no sun until the 4th day?

The sun gives morning and evening. The sun gives day and night.

Something not right.

God created light in the first day.

And the evening and the morning was the first day.

How can there be evening and morning and a day with no sun?.

4 days and morning and evening with no sun.

I've wondered about this one myself. Simple answer: to have day and night you really only need two things, a rotating Earth and a source of light. The Bible says we had both on the first day. Well, it doesn't say the Earth was rotating, but it doesn't say otherwise. The nature of the light that God created is not described in detail, we only know that it wasn't the sun. So some kind of non-solar light emanating from the center of the cosmos perhaps, and a spinning Earth continually passing between day and night. On the fourth day the sun took over the role as the source of illumination.

Alternately, a more complicated arrangement has a pulsating initial light source. Genesis says that God created light, then divided the light from the dark. Perhaps he made the light oscillate, on a 24-hour cycle, and called the light period day, and the dark period night. And again, the sun took over after its creation.

Actually it sort of does. It says in a few different places that the earth is immovable. So...maybe the sun rotates differently than we've been taught? Ya' know? Deception and all that? Maybe we've been lied to even more than we realize.
 
We could ask mohamud about the sun.

I was sitting behind the Messenger of Allah who was riding a donkey while the sun was setting. He asked: Do you know where this sets ? I replied: Allah and his Apostle know best. He said: It sets in a spring of warm water.

Immoveable? What passages specifically?

Surely not another flat earth theory? :)

Not at all, Brother. But Brother Kevin said that the scriptures doesn't say either way, and I have recollected that it does, so was trying to help. :nod

OK. Not sure what to make of those. The earth does move. Maybe it means the earth shall not be moved to another location, not that it's motionless.

Wouldn't orbiting around the sun, be being moved to other locations? This is a touchy subject Brother. Myself...I stand on scripture rather than the word of man. Deception is their primary tool...so, take that for what you will. :)

Those scriptures seem to me to be very plain and clear.

It's still a predictable and established orbit, like a bus route. By another location I mean like a different galaxy or solar system.

Do you believe the earth is completely stationary? If that's your interpretation of Scripture, fine, I just never heard that theory before. Sure, it's possible.

That is a good question, brother. I do believe that the earth is completely stationary. Based on scripture. It sort of blew my mind when I read it. I mean geez, why would they lie about the earth itself?

But there may be reasons that we just don't get yet. It deserves further study just for that reason.

Blue pill or red pill, Brother? :lol

This one is simply explained further into scripture that Jesus is the light and He is the Creator.

edited o add: And God/Jesus was making certain the the faithful, unliike scientists and their sheep, would know that he meant 4 hours.
 
The light could not be Jesus. Because the Bible says He was with God, and was God before the Earth was made.

I think it is, basically, "good and evil"........ The Bible does say He made both.
