It is simplified and listed in order at the very start. I will not type it out for you because there is no point.


I honestly have no idea what you're trying to say here. Can you clarify with less pronoun, plz?

I really don't. What are you saying is "Simplified and listed" at the very start?

I swear, I'm not trolling. I reread it a couple of times and simply couldn't figure out what it was you were trying to say, so I politely asked for clarification.

I will do so again: Can you restate the above with fewer pronouns, since I didn't understand what you said?

The point I was conveying on the previous page is that the bible states that the Sun and Moon were created after and for the Earth. If you can not understand what I just said then sure you would find adding two plus two to be a challenge. "It" is Genesis.

Ah, that.

You've proven nothing of the sort and haven't shown that my alternative interpretation of the scripture is any less valid than your literalist interpretation, tbh. :(

I never said I proved anything, and I never said your interpretation was less valid.

Seems to me that God created light and darkness on the second day, and created the sun and moon on the fourth day. O_O

1:1 - In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth.

1:16 - And god made two great lights; the greater light to rule the day, and the lesser light to rule the night. He made the stars also.

I think your metaphor is incorrect, and I don't think he created the whole shebang in 1:1.

Sounds like you're pretty much saying "My interpretation is correct on this one," in the bold.

lmk if I misinterpreted something, but I made it perfectly clear that there's a valid reading in which the sun and the moon were most certainly not created after the Earth.

It seems you often misinterpret things :)

So what am I missing?

How did your blind assertion, bolded above, not serve to say that your position was the correct one while rejecting other possible interpretations?

I would never use "point" in a literal sense when on this subject. Genesis is always open to interpretation. When I say point I do not mean fact.
