Ok, thanks for taking a look, I am curious though I dont think you have said what the source for light is, what is your view?

I don't know what the source is. That's why I'm discussing the issue. God said "let there be light" and there was light. How? I have no idea! It's either a light with no source or it is symbolic, a way to separate day and night.

This has been answered. God knows how.

Looking through the first 2 pages leads me to ask the question; do you just want to debate this or look at it from both the bible and History? or do you just want to say the earth is only 6,000 years old as most doctrines do? If you really want to take it from a biblical and scientific study?

Redundant question, again. Have you heard of The Creator? Or you don't think He's up to producing light (the Father of Lights)?
This is the message we have heard from Him and announce to you, that God is Light, and in Him there is no darkness at all. 1Jn1:5.
If you want to know how He did it, ask Him.

a) No, I haven't heard of The Creator. Please inform me! => STOP BEING SO STUPID AND INSULTING! <=

b) This is the message we have heard from Him and announce to you, that God is Light, and in Him there is no darkness at all. 1Jn1:5. This has nothing to do with Genesis 1:3, " Then God said, “Let there be light,” and there was light." Apparently you can't understand that God didn't create Himself. Duh!

c) If you want to know how He did it, ask Him. I'm certainly wasting my time trying to get a decent answer from you!

d) "Redundant question, again." is poor English

Do you believe in a literal 6 days of creation or the longer evolution format?

It is an ongoing issue.

I have met many intelligent over the years, probably far more intelligent than he claims to be and yet they are amazing humble.

He is constantly condescending and patronizing.

Reported for implying that I haven't heard of the Creator!
'I don't know what the source is. That's why I'm discussing the issue. God said "let there be light" and there was light. How? I have no idea! '

What I asked was a legit question. 'I don't know what the source is' made me wonder, not an insult, and I didn't call you STUPID AND INSULTING' for not knowing the source of everything.
We're talking many many contentious responses by you just in this one Thread(easy to fact-check btw).

ps welcome to the 'ignored club'

You implied that I haven't heard of the creator! Stop the pomposity! You are not "discussing the issue" by resorting to personal slander. And then you end your post with another personal attack!

I have put you on "ignore".
