Free For all - Open Discussions and DebatesIs the Bible free from errors?Not all rivers and streams are the result of rainfall. Lets jump forward to the the flood account and see if we can discern the origin of the rivers in Eden. Some Christians and even some scientists believe that at one time the earth was encompassed with water vapor, which made the earth one huge greenhouse. Now keep in mind that Moses probably did not know and God did not tell him about morning dew, which is actually atmospheric water forming on the earth due to temperature changes between night and day. Therefore to the ancients this dew came from the earth, not the sky. Subterranean rivers and lakes can be formed when sea water is filtered through sand, limestone, and etc. Therefore the origin of the 4 rivers can easily be explained as a natural spring. The sudden rain can be the result of a volcanic eruption that spewed tons of particulate into the atmosphere, which seeded the vapor canopy, which resulted in rain. Also the fountains of the deep can equate to something like Yellowstone Park and the rising steam condensing during the cool of night would result in dew that watered the garden. Now a possible explanation for the sun being created after vegetation is the light energy was dispersing and being converted to matter that the sun was required for light. I know this is far from a scientific explanation but light energy is not static. Geology theorizes plate tectonics have taken billions of years, however a single catastrophic event could have resulted in sudden tectonic plate movements. Some critics of this theory point out that such an event would swamp any boat or ship, however ship builders have tested the stability of the ark in tanks used to test ship design and no matter what conditions their model ark was subjected to they could not swamp it. The ark's design specifications are that of the most stable barge even built. Do I expect you to accept my theories? Nope, but my theories are possible even if you reject them as improbable. Also, can you imagine Moses or the ancients trying to understand modern science, a lot of which requires advanced math to explain scientifically? |
