Today in school we learned about how God created the Earth in seven days or something. On the first day he created day and night, but on fourth day he created the sun and the moon. How can there be day or night if there was no sun. I asked the teacher but the bell rang right when I put my hand up. Help!

It was lunch time, my food was done. I had to type fast. And do to the fact that this has nothing to do with the argument, it just proves your poor jugement

I was just pointing that out, but maybe the earth didn't orbit until the sun was created. This was not necessary since no life forms were present until God created them (assuming he exists).
And you spelled "judgement" wrong. And even so, my pointing out your typos doesn't have anything to do with my judgement.

I also have horrible spelling normaly, usualy only a few words in a paragraph. And, what about the dinosoars? The cianobacteria? They all came before the human race and it said he created life on day seven, human life. And it was not for life, but for night and day. Night and day are human concepts for the time we are out of the sun's direct rays and the time were in it. Thus its impossible. And yes, it does. You didn't argue, you just basically said "I don't have to listen becase you can't spell".

Stepping in to say enough arguing about the value of grammar in an unrelated argument, move back to the topic at hand.

I never said I didn't have to listen to you. I was making a point that it makes your post slightly harder to decipher.

It was the sixth day, but that's fine; honest mistake.
You've probably heard this before, so I'll just condense it a bit. "Day" does not necessarily have to refer to a twenty-four hour day. It may refer to an era, a time. Bearing this in mind, it said God created other animals on the fifth "day" and then on the sixth "day" he created human life. These account for the life forms before the human being era.
Night and day are human concepts for the time we are out of the sun's direct rays and the time were in it.

Humans, who wrote the Bible, would say day and night, not "for tewnty-four hours", considering they probably didn't know how long a day was back then anyway.

I know you've probably got a lot to say on that, but I won't be able to get to it tonight. Feel free to post anyway, though. I'll come back to this page tomorrow. Good night.

Did you forget that not every culture has considered a day 24 hours? If he created a 24 hour day, then the cultures whould have all agreed. And if he invented a day on the third day then how did it keep time? And if it invented the day then why do you use the excuse that his days are different?

If God was truly perfect and the bible is his word, would it not make sense that it would be written in a way that could not be mis-interpreted? After all, he apparently told man what to write.

3d4d1 or whatever, shut up. Do you honestly think "culture" equals God?

Nurvana, read more carfully. I said different cultures have different days. And do to the fact that there is no god and that it also changes from culture to culture I whould have to say that "god" is affected heavly by culture, but that is not what I implied in my last post.

As for the original question a photon can exist without the sun. And a day is not 24 hours... a day is the amount of time it takes for the earth to rotates so that the sun appears in the place it did in the previous day.

Noah, don't backseat moderate.

34d, all your points about logical fallacies regarding actions of god are irrelevant. If God exists, he is all-powerful, and can infinitely defy logic with no problem. Thus, he could have days before creating days and it would be okay. We cannot apply any sort of logical limitations on the possible actions of a supreme god because there are none.

The Bible say that one day to God is like 1000 ears to men... meaning that the 7 days probably where not 7 24h days... Rather timeperiods... However, IF God exists it poses no problem for Him to create a world in 7 days... nor 7 seconds...
