a lot of bible students are taught by their teachers that "God made the sun on the 4th day"....but if the bible student were to actually go read the text for the 4th day , they would see that "This is not what the text says..."

The problem is that if you just take the Text as written, then you totally destroy all the Young Earth arguments....
Yes, its true.
If you just read and believe the Genesis text as we see it written in the bible you don't find any issues with their being an Old earth,,,or any disagreements with Evolution....nor any reason for Bible students to worry that they need to invent all kinds of anti-science concepts like the "sourceless light"


most if not all the arguments that bible students hear about the great "Genesis /Evolution" debate are actually a debate between good science on the one hand, and false teachings about what the bible says on the other.




What Im saying is this:

If we as Bible students just read the Text of Scripture as it is written, then we will never need to fear science, never need to think the Bible stands against the teachings of Evolution, never live in fear that our children are learning bad things in school....





So what does the bible say?
It says that the first thing God made in the beginning was_________?
The answer is that the very first thing God made in the beginning was the "Heavens"

Now there are a few different meanings to the word "heavens" to be sure in the Bible....and Im not here to force you to believe that the term "heavens" must mean only one thing here at Genesis 1:1.

But I am here to tell you that among the many different ways to correctly understand the word "heavens" that one of these correct meanings is the idea for the sun, the moon, and all the things up in the sky like stars and planets, and asteroids and black holes, and etc, etc, etc....all that stuff out there in space.

This fits correctly with what Science teaches by the way...

So right here in the Bible we find an accurate account of how the universe was made.

No need to invent a "sourceless light".........no need to have the Genesis "day" be any different in its nature and cause than any other day.


Now the word 'day" is also important to see how both Science and Genesis walk in agreement.....but I shall deal with that in a later comment.
