Not quite sure what you are getting at here. I am not disputing that the long day is a fact.

You are autistic, ZMOUTH. You seem incapable if understanding language. You are the worst kind of literalist. Nothing will make sense to you. You go round and round in circles, never coming to a knowlege of the truth.

I called you disingenuous because that is what you are. It is not a personal insult. I did not call you dense, I said you were impervious to context and you verified the correctness of both these assertions in the rest of your post! Being selective, or taking a line from a body of text and then...

You are being disingenuous, ZMOUTH, as you well know. You also seem impervious to context. So, this is what I said: “It is said God cannot lie. I don’t see this as a limitation, but it illustrates that the blanket statement, God is all-mighty is a simplification. Clearly God limits himself and...

No problem!

PS. You keep replying to messages I am sending to ZMOUTH. ZMOUTH and I are discussing different subjects. I am not asking you, if you are calling God a liar, I am asking ZMOUTH this question. I replied to your post linking the days of creation to different geological ages.

To say there is no physical law in the eternal expanse is a very different thing from saying there is no spiritual law in heaven. But semantic games, rather than a serious effort to establish the truth, seem to be your speciality.

I ask because I wish to know what kind of person you are. How a person interprets a text has little to do with the intellect and everything to do with their moral compass. So, I ask again, do you conclude that the logic of this verse tells us that God is a liar?

It is an assumption. There is no law in the eternal expanse.

Are you saying God is a liar?

Yes. That would be my assumption.

Hilarious!

The problem with this interpretation is that the Phanerozoic Eon, your day 3, includes the the Paleozoic, Mesozoic, and Cenozoic eras, that is days 4, 5 and 6. Also Genesis explicitely states that each day consists of a morning and an afternoon, which suggests the text is thinking of it’s days...

What do you mean by that?

Of course there is a connection between us and the creation. But this does not mean that the creation depends solely on man. For all we know, God may be running other projects in the universe.

Yes, I believe the universe was created. How else could a universe exist, assuming we discount the steady state idea and its offspring? When you ask what existed before, I have to ask the question, existed where? The biblical form of creation suggests, as you say, creation ex-nihilo.

If the universe is simply a construct of the human mind, which human mind? For all humans to be connected to each other, reality can only be a construct from the mind of God. Reality must be the same for all people. If we all had different universes, then we wouldn’t relate to each other. There...

I am going to ignore your comments about light and sound, since you are incapable of comprehending what I say. Light and sound and their converses are properties of the universe. They came into existance when the universe was created, as did space and time. Before the universe none of these...

If the universe disappeared today there would be no darkness and no silence. Such terms have no meaning if there is no universe. I don’t know how often I need to say this. It is not necessary for the existance of light to be confirmed. Light was generated by the first stars and no one was there...

Darkness and silence do depend on something. Darkness is banished by light, silence by sound. In our universe it is possible that conditions will arise that create light and sound and in this context, darkness and silence have meaning. If there is no universe, there is no possibility of light or...
