[QUOTE="njdriver, post: 2677931, member: 4596"] I'm assuming here that you are implying some sort of contradiction or incongruity because the Sun was created after plants and vegetation, therefore how could plant life be sustained without sunlight. It happens every day, or should I say, night. All plants and vegetation are subjected to a period of darkness anywhere between 8+ hours to 12+ hours, depending on the time of year with absolutely no indication of wilting or plant death. Since the days of Creation are literal 24-hour days, I don't see any problem with plants surviving until the creation of the Sun on Day 4. In fact the poinsettia, a holiday staple in many homes, undergoes complete darkness 14 hours a day for 2 months to produce the bright red leaves we are accustomed to seeing. The Bible does not go into detail about at what stage of growth the plants and vegetation were, but I believe it is also possible that they could have been in seed form in the Earth, especially in light of Genesis 2: 5-6 [SIZE=4]Now no shrub had yet appeared on the earth and no plant had yet sprung up, for the Lord God had not sent rain on the earth and there was no one to work the ground, but streams[B] came up from the earth and watered the whole surface of the ground. [/B][/SIZE] [B] [/B] Unbelievably the Flat Earth theory was a somewhat common belief in some areas until the mid 1800's, even though Eratosthenes calculated Earth's circumference in approximately 240 BCE, and wound up being off by less than 2%. Pictures sent back by Hubble should be enough to discourage anyone from aligning themselves with that theory anymore. [/QUOTE]
