Who ever said that the "days" of creation of the Bible were 24 earth hours? Maybe the time between each day, and especially day 3 and day 4, was 13.8 billion earth years.
Because it says, "the evening and the morning were the first day," after the first day and so on for all 6 days of creation. "WHEN THE PLAIN SENSE OF SCRIPTURE MAKES COMMON SENSE, SEEK NO OTHER SENSE." This is a widely accepted saying among Christians who take the Bible literally.
Seriously? That is what you come back with? That's from the back of a bible-thumping magazine looking for cheap subscriptions.
What you are saying is what every Bible-Thumper says. If a question cannot be answered in any intellectual or scientific way, the answer is "God". End of story. No debate, no thought, no nothing. That is your "get-out-jail-free" card.
The problem with that bullshit theory is that it then presumes that the center of the universe is earth. Which it is NOT. So what other options are left to us? That every point in the universe is the center of it. Well, that cannot be true. How about the great-attractor theory, which is pulling us all into a single point in an ever-expanding universe? Hum, sure. Where is it? Is it here, or is it 3 billion light-years to the side. There is another dimension of space-time that needs to be included in the calculations, because none of it makes mathematical sense. Think it cannot be disproven? Think John Nash.
No, no, no! The Bible is accurate. What is holding together everything in the expanding universe???? The Bible tell us (but scientists still haven't figured it out) that it is God!!! And He Himself existed and is before all things, and in Him all things hold together. [His is the controlling, cohesive force of the universe.] Colossians 1:17 Amplified Bible
Again, there you go. Even when science has the answer, the strong force, you just go back to God. It is not a fundamental force of the universe, it is a Godhead.
Where did you get this "Earth is assumed to be the center of the universe" concept from? I suppose you and your 19-inch empty space could be correct, and the scientists got it wrong.
