...there are many scholarly interpretations of the symbolism in Genesis available to anyone with a computer and a little time to spare .

Here is one from Mathew Henry's Concise Commentary regarding your confusion over those verses -



Commentary on Genesis 1:6-13

(Read Genesis 1:6-13)
The earth was emptiness, but by a word spoken, it became full of God's riches, and his they are still. Though the use of them is allowed to man, they are from God, and to his service and honour they must be used. The earth, at his command, brings forth grass, herbs, and fruits. God must have the glory of all the benefit we receive from the produce of the earth. If we have, through grace, an interest in Him who is the Fountain, we may rejoice in him when the streams of temporal mercies are dried up.

Commentary on Genesis 1:14-19



(Read Genesis 1:14-19)
In the fourth day's work, the creation of the sun, moon, and stars is accounted for. All these are the works of God. The stars are spoken of as they appear to our eyes, without telling their number, nature, place, size, or motions; for the Scriptures were written, not to gratify curiosity, or make us astronomers, but to lead us to God, and make us saints. The lights of heaven are made to serve him; they do it faithfully, and shine in their season without fail. We are set as lights in this world to serve God; but do we in like manner answer the end of our creation? We do not: our light does not shine before God, as his lights shine before us. We burn our Master's candles, but do not mind our Master's work.

That doesn't explain why God wanted himself to be wrong. I understand its a book of Signs and not Science. But this does not make a good sign. This is a sign of incorrectness.

It seems there is absolutely no reason to switch Day 3 and 4. And there is not a logical excuse.
I hope this confusion is fixed in the "newer" versions of the Bibles. Does man fix Gods mistake here? Or has man mistaken Gods word in the beginning and need to revert it back to its logical order. (I'd agree the latter)

My thoughts: People thought Earth was the center of the universe, and it was first. Someone thought maybe Sun before Earth was illogical so they switched it. Now the Christian is stuck with this verse. (My thought)
I hope the Christian understand Science is the ultimate measure of truth today. If the book is not compatible with proven facts of science, it cannot survive. And this is just one example.

...your thoughts on Biblical interpretation and understanding are totally irrelevant to a Christian . As far as we are concerned you speak only for Satan .

This is your thought. As far as I'm concerned, you speak only for satan.

/and thats why I mentioned "my thoughts" twice, cuz I knew it would be a good place for a beginner to attack, yet you still did it, congratulations..
But to make sure you don't offtrack and offtopic my post as your intention probably was:

...my intention was exactly as I presented it . Your opinion on scripture has no value to a Christian and since your intent is hostile you do not deserve any in depth explanation and discussion on what we believe and why !

Actually, he deserves it just as much as the most devout Christian around asking for clarification on something. More, actually, if you want to get really technical. It is your moral duty as a Christian to try to save him.

Further proof you're actually a closet Satanist? I think so...

Good for you

Reported. Now stick to the topic, or go make a thread: "Is the Qur'an the word of God/Allah"
