Day 4

Day 4

Celestial bodies being created after the “day and night”. 

"Let there be light," and there was light. God saw that the light was good, and he separated the light from the darkness. God called the light "day," and the darkness he called "night." And there was evening, and there was morning--the first day. (Genesis 1)

In contrast to the previous post regarding plant life before the existence of the Sun. In Christianity, the verses of Genesis indicate that the Sun and the Moon were created at the same day during the span of 24 hours.

And God said, "Let there be lights in the vault of the sky to separate the day from the night, and let them serve as signs to mark sacred times, and days and years, and let them be lights in the vault of the sky to give light on the earth." And it was so. God made two great lights--the greater light to govern the day and the lesser light to govern the night. He also made the stars.(Genesis 1:18)

 The sun is the star at the centre of the Solar System. It is a nearly perfect sphere of hot plasma.(1) The solar constant is the amount of power that the Sun deposits per unit area that is directly exposed to sunlight. (2)  The sun is approximately 4.5 billion years old. (3)    The Sun formed from the collapse of part of a giant molecular cloud that consisted mostly of hydrogen and helium and that probably gave birth to many other stars. Gravity and pressure within the core of the cloud generated a lot of heat as it accreted more matter from the surrounding disk, eventually triggering nuclear fusion. Thus, the Sun was born. Three quarters of the Sun's mass consists of hydrogen (~73%); the rest is mostly helium (~25%), with much smaller quantities of heavier elements, including oxygen, carbon, neon, and iron. The synodic rotation of Earth and its orbit around the Sun are the basis of the solar calendar, which is the predominant calendar in use today.


The Moon’s formation began approximately 4.5 billion years ago and some 30–50 million years after the origin of the Solar System. The prevailing hypothesis is that the Earth–Moon system formed as a result of the impact of a Mars-sized body (named Theia) with the proto-Earth Earth (giant impact), that blasted material into orbit about the Earth that then accreted to form the present Earth-Moon system. Giant impacts are thought to have been common in the early Solar System. Computer simulations of a giant impact have produced results that are consistent with the mass of the lunar core and the present angular momentum of the Earth–Moon system. These simulations also show that most of the Moon derived from the impactor, rather than the proto-Earth. More recent simulations suggest a larger fraction of the Moon derived from the original Earth mass. The Moon rotates and also makes a complete orbit around Earth with respect to the fixed stars about once every 27.3 days. (5) (6) The Moon’s craters formed when asteroids and comets collide with the lunar surface. There are estimated to be roughly 300,000 craters wider than 1 km (0.6 mi) on the Moon's near side alone.
The morning is a period from sunrise to noon and the creation of the night is the period from sunset to sunrise. The Bible is clearly referring to a mean Earth solar day which is approximately 24 hours. Christian apologetics often refer to the Hebrew word בַּיֹּ֣ום implying that it could mean a long period of time rather than a set 24hour which is a product of our solar system. However, this is logically invalid as the beginning verses have clearly stated there was evening and morning on the first day redirecting the reader to a 24 hour solar cycle. Also, they are committing a strawman fallacy by misleading and distracting the relevant or important issue at hand by ignoring the words evening עֶ֥רֶב & morning בֹ֖קֶר.

“And there was evening, and there was morning” has occurred three times in Genesis before the formation of the Sun and Moon even began. Which is also impossible due to the fact that three-quarters of the atmosphere's mass is contained within the first 11 km of the surface. This lowest layer is called the troposphere. Energy from the Sun heats this layer, and the surface below, causing expansion of the air. This lower-density air then rises, and is replaced by cooler, higher-density air. The result is atmospheric circulation that drives the weather and climate through redistribution of thermal energy. (7)



In conclusion, 
The Scripture contains yet another flawed, incorrect view on its age of the two celestial bodies floating within our solar system .

Ants Have No Commander?

Ants Have No Commander? Although ants are frustrating when they get into your home or  when you’re having a picnic, ants do help the environment. They are social insects, which means they live in large colonies or groups. Depending on the species, ant colonies can consist of millions of ants. There are three kinds of ants in a colony: The queen, the female workers, and males. The queen and the males have wings, while the workers don’t have wings.   I n The Bible, it asserts that ants have no commander, no overseer or ruler. Despite ants having ant farms where they form a myriad of colonies. “Go to the ant, you sluggard;   consider its ways and be wise!   It has no commander no overseer or ruler    yet it stores its provisions in summer   and gathers its food at harvest.” (Proverbs 6:6:8) According to the Oxford Dictionary, Command is:  Have authority over; be in charge of (a unit) Ants form   colonies   that range in size from a few dozen predatory individuals living

How Old Was Ahaziah?

How Old Was Ahaziah?  If you are still not convinced about the inconsistency regarding the bible’s corruption, maybe this could give you a little hint. In order to cover a contradiction in the bible, the translators will resort to lying. But truth will always stand out from faulty. So now to the question, Was Ahaziah 22 or 42 when he became king? “Ahaziah was twenty-two years old when he became king, and he reigned in Jerusalem one year. His mother's name was Athaliah, a granddaughter of Omri.” (2 Chronicles 22) “Ahaziah was twenty-two years old when he became king, and he reigned in Jerusalem one year. His mother's name was Athaliah, a granddaughter of Omri king of Israel.” (2 Kings 8:26) As a matter of fact, let’s take a further look at several of the translations of 2 Chronicles 22. (see here) At face value, it seems to be splendid.  On the contrary, you will be in for a rude awakening.  Both chapters and translations say twenty-two years old. Yet wh

Pagan-Santa Clause!

Pagan-Santa Clause! Was the Grinch who stole Christmas an agnostic?  You might want to cover little Timmy's ears for this one. For those who do not know, the earliest Christians including the Apostles and disciples of Christ never celebrated such an event. Historically absent from any of the four gospel accounts is the mention of a yearly celebration of Jesus’s birth. During Jesus’s ministry, no such celebration is ever recorded.  Christmas  or  Christmas Day  is an annual festival commemorating the birth of  Jesus. O bserved most commonly on the 25th of December  as a religious and cultural celebration among billions of people around the world. Funny enough, Santa has been google searched more than Jesus for the past eleven years.  Although some Christian groups reject the celebration. Christians themselves cannot admit that he was even born in December. As a matter of fact, The Bible actually contradicts the notion of winter.  The fallacious and logically incoher
