Oh, I'm sorry to wreck your self-imposed banning of a guy. Especially after bragging about it??? [frypan] [frypan] [frypan] Geez, where's my manners. I was never good at these Southern lynchings...I blame my California upbringing on that...suppose. Now, can you direct me to the post that Ray shot up asking for help here on a cigar forum with his erectile dysfunction like you did? Talk about a wet dream there, way to go there Shooter!

So in addition to a lack of manors we can add reading comprehension to your long list of deficits? No problem.

Pretty much consensus expected. Not that I really GAF about what the proselytizers think. I can run circles around many of their arguments. But, that’s a topic for another day, time and place.

You do realize this is NOT the politics forum? See what you did? You brought that babbling idiot Ray to the party. Can’t see what he posted, but I’m sure it’s the same old drivel that caused me to mute him.

Anthony, the biblical Hebrew word translated as day is Yom. it has 7 or 8 meanings. This is common with older languages. They have less words with multiple meanings. Another meaning for Yom is time. I prefer this meaning because it makes sense to me. From a biblical standpoint the sun and moon were not created till the fourth Yom. So, I do not believe the 6-day/24-hour philosophy. Also, radiometric dating places the earth at 4 .5 billion years old. Radiometric dating is thought to be accurate + or - .5 billion years. This would make the earth between 4 and 5 billion years old. Of course, all of the above is only my opinion. Though I do prefer to form my own opinion as opposed to being told what my opinion will be.

I always tooks "days" to mean Eons or Epochs.

And try as the bible authors did to explain things, they did get the order wrong:

Day 1 - Light. Like the Big Bang

Day 2 - Firmament. Expansion, cooling and the beginning of planetary accretion

Day 3 - Earth, Sea and vegetation. This would be from the the Hadean eon to end of the Archean eon. Like 2.5 billion years.

Day 4 - Sun, moon and stars. Ok, so this happened days 1 through 2, with the moon showing up at the beginning of day 3.

Day 5 - Birds and sea creatures. So birds came after land animals (day 6). But let's just say this was the end of the Proterozoic through the Paleozoic.

Day 6 - Land animals and humans. This would have been a long day with us showing up in the last few moments.



You have to hand it to them that they didn't do so bad for a bunch of sheep herders.

Interesting to say the least. So, let's discuss the big bang. You will have to put up with my miniscule understanding of quantum mechanics. The idea of a multiverse makes my head hurt. Time would have to be parallel and consistent for me, otherwise it is beyond my comprehension. Then there is dark matter. I simply am not ready to accept it based only on gravitational effects. That leaves quantum fluctuations. We could go with that, but I won't. It is my belief that Hilbert space is incompletely defined. There is at least a fourth dimension, time. Probably there is a 5th dimension, but that is only an educated guess.

So, I think the only plausible explanation is kinetic energy.
