Genesis Chapter 1 (In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth and all life in 6 days, and he rested the 7th day)

1. In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth.
2 And the earth was without form, and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters.

3 And God said, Let there be light: and there was light.

4 And God saw the light, that it was good: and God divided the light from the darkness.

5 And God called the light Day, and the darkness he called Night. And the evening and the morning were the first day.

6 And God said, Let there be a firmament in the midst of the waters, and let it divide the waters from the waters.

7 And God made the firmament, and divided the waters which were under the firmament from the waters which were above the firmament: and it was so.

8 And God called the firmament Heaven. And the evening and the morning were the second day.

9 And God said, Let the waters under the heaven be gathered together unto one place, and let the dry land appear: and it was so.

10 And God called the dry land Earth; and the gathering together of the waters called he Seas: and God saw that it was good.

11 And God said, Let the earth bring forth grass, the herb yielding seed, and the fruit tree yielding fruit after his kind, whose seed is in itself, upon the earth: and it was so.

12 And the earth brought forth grass, and herb yielding seed after his kind, and the tree yielding fruit, whose seed was in itself, after his kind: and God saw that it was good.

13 And the evening and the morning were the third day.

14 And God said, Let there be lights in the firmament of the heaven to divide the day from the night; and let them be for signs, and for seasons, and for days, and years:

15 And let them be for lights in the firmament of the heaven to give light upon the earth: and it was so.

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.

17 And God set them in the firmament of the heaven to give light upon the earth,

18 And to rule over the day and over the night, and to divide the light from the darkness: and God saw that it was good.

19 And the evening and the morning were the fourth day.

20 And God said, Let the waters bring forth abundantly the moving creature that hath life, and fowl that may fly above the earth in the open firmament of heaven.

21 And God created great whales, and every living creature that moveth, which the waters brought forth abundantly, after their kind, and every winged fowl after his kind: and God saw that it was good.

22 And God blessed them, saying, Be fruitful, and multiply, and fill the waters in the seas, and let fowl multiply in the earth.

23 And the evening and the morning were the fifth day.

24 And God said, Let the earth bring forth the living creature after his kind, cattle, and creeping thing, and beast of the earth after his kind: and it was so.

25 And God made the beast of the earth after his kind, and cattle after their kind, and every thing that creepeth upon the earth after his kind: and God saw that it was good.

26 And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth.

27 So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them.

28 And God blessed them, and God said unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth, and subdue it: and have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over every living thing that moveth upon the earth.

29 And God said, Behold, I have given you every herb bearing seed, which is upon the face of all the earth, and every tree, in the which is the fruit of a tree yielding seed; to you it shall be for meat.

30 And to every beast of the earth, and to every fowl of the air, and to every thing that creepeth upon the earth, wherein there is life, I have given every green herb for meat: and it was so.

31 And God saw every thing that he had made, and, behold, it was very good. And the evening and the morning were the sixth day."

Cool! Great place to start. So let's talk about the fact that, according to this ancient book of mythology, God created the plants before he created the sun.

Why would he do it that way? That's stupid. He would then have to use his God powers to keep those plants alive, because they wouldn't be able to photosynthesize until the sun was created. That's a waste of his time and energy, so I guess you and the author of Genesis are saying that God is inefficient.

@LordShadowfire The sun is not the source of all light that's why!

@Carazaa No, but plants specifically need sunlight in order to photosynthesize.

@LordShadowfire And that's why it says that God made the sun and made it rain so the plants could grow.
@Carazaa Yeah, he made the sun a day after he made plants, which would have died without that sunlight to photosynthesize. What, did he stand over them and constantly generate what would eventually become sunlight until it finally occurred to him he could simply create the sun?

@LordShadowfire He made seeds and plants in one day. He made a point that the Sun did not make plants HE DID. He made them in one day without any help from the sun. He made the sun so we can see and so the plants can grow.
@Carazaa But plants need the sun in order to grow. That is my point. They would literally die without the sun, which he did not make until THE NEXT DAY.

Why is this a difficult concept for you?

@LordShadowfire Please stop!! You are so abusive!
@Carazaa How is it abusive to point out that plants need sunlight in order to live? God made the plants one day, and the sunlight the next. You just don't like the implications of that. That's why you're choosing to focus on my perceived personality defects.

@Carazaa This isn't your site. It belongs to @Andrew. And I didn't think that asking you about scientific realities was an attack. Honestly, if your reality is so fragile that a few scientific facts feel like an attack, there's a problem. And that problem rhymes with schmognitive schmissonance.

@LordShadowfire You need to learn learn to be nice and stop attacking people!
@Carazaa I understand what you're saying here. You're saying that questioning the narrative and pointing out scientific facts is attacking you. Understood.

By the way, plants still need sunlight to photosynthesize, and God didn't make the sun until the day after he made the plants.
