22 Bible Commentaries on Genesis 1: 1
“Jk, the scientific community has produced compelling and verifiable evidence…” such as some lame conjecture about dust? You can’t have verifiable evidence for something like that. Their views on this subject are as much religious as mine. When science tries to explain how the universe came to be they leave science altogether and delve into philosophy. Science can tell us how to build a TV, not how the world was made in the beginning. To assert that science can do that is to make science into a religion, which also makes it cease to be science. Your “scientific community” that produced these supposed proofs is not a scientific community at all, but a group of priests of the religion of atheism.

Jk, the scientific community has produced compelling and verifiable evidence that the sun preexisted our planet. Please tell me where I can find any compelling and verifiable evidence to the contrary.

“On the fourth day the luminaries were made; because God, who possesses foreknowledge, knew the follies of the vain philosophers, that they were going to say, that the things which grow on the earth are produced from the heavenly bodies, so as to exclude God. In order, therefore, that the truth might be obvious, the plants and seeds were produced prior to the heavenly bodies, for what is posterior cannot produce that which is prior.” (Ante-Nicene Fathers, Vol. II, Theophilus to Autolycus, Book II, Chapter XV.-Of the Fourth Day)
“Science” is nothing more than the follies of vain philosophers. In fact, it is interesting how much of modern science is just Greek paganism rehashed in less superstitious terms. Charles (#11) says that it is scientific fact that the sun was in existence before the earth. So the vain philosophers of ancient Greece would have asserted it to be fact that the sun was a divine being who gave birth to the earth. His doctrine and theirs are the same, only his is cleaned up with modern language. The superstition abides, however, which asserts that the things which are seen can only have come into existence from other things which are seen, and therefore nothing unseen exists. The ancient philosopher said that the sun gave birth to the earth, and the modern scientist says that debris floating around the sun formed into the earth. What’s the difference? It is the same vain philosophy that nothing exists but what is seen. But thank God that God created the heavens and the earth and that one day Christians will be on a new earth wherein righteousness (not vain philosophy) dwells.

Someone has said, “There was nothing and God made something - put it on top of nothing and made it stay there.” The Bible nowhere attempts to prove the existence of God. In fact the Bible doesn’t start off telling us where God comes from, just “In the beginning God …”

So, duh, do you believe Earth came into existence before the sun did?

If you have a problem with the first four words of the bible, no answer will suffice.

Scientific fact: the sun was in existence prior to Earth
Genesis 1:1: the earth was created “in the begninning”; the sun came later (on the fourth day of creation).
This is proof that the Bible is false right from its very first verse.

So, JK, diatribes aside, answer my question: where can I find any evidence - any non-laughable evidence at all - that our planet was in existence prior to the sun?
