I think the reason is partly to limit how CPU intensive and expensive the simulation is. A similar reason for a limit to the speed of light and why there doesn't seem to be any other intelligent life in the universe.

What about the stars that aren't our sun? It would be difficult to see stars in the sky with typical phone cameras - and a good source of light means it lights up other things.... How does the Bible suggest that? Also the moon and sun came many billions of years after the big bang. So you...

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_best-selling_books So is this Wikipedia page also incorrect? If so I guess you could fix it.... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bible That page mentions "the Bible" 154 times.

Stars aren't much of a source of light - I mean it can take 20 minutes for our eyes to adjust and see them well. Genesis 1 says the sun, moon, and stars were created on day 4. If they were actually created on day 1 why doesn't the Bible clearly say so? Do you believe that the sun moon and stars...

Yes day 3 is the third day. I didn't say the plants were on the first day - I said out of plants and the sun, moon, and stars, the plants were created first. So out of day 3 (plants) and day 4 (sun moon & stars), the plants were created first. Hopefully you can understand what I'm saying.

So what bibles say that the plants weren't created before the sun, moon, and stars? Maybe there is a consensus amongst the bibles in this particular case?

I did say "in the Bible the plants were created first" but I meant they were created before the sun, moon and stars.

Other problems include land vegetation (day 3) being before sea creatures (day 5) and birds (day 5) before land animals (day 6).

The only mention of "first" is "first triad" - and there is the "second triad". There is no mention of "third". There are only 2 triads. Perhaps you didn't notice it but it lists 6 days.... some are towards the centre of the screen. The first triad has days 1, 2, and 3. The second triad is...

I don't know what you mean. It says plants were on day 3 and the sun, moon and stars were day 4....

Btw I’ve heard YECs say that God didn’t create the sun first to not place a lot of importance on it since some people worshipped the sun.

I mean they often believe in billions of years and do the best they can to fit the Bible into that.

I'm saying that the part about the plants before the sun moon and stars fits well with YEC but not OEC (who believe in mainstream science). And Revelation also fits well with it. Also some people might be surprised to find out that in the Bible the plants were created first.

Just in case people didn't notice it before, this is what it says in Genesis 1: As you can see there are similarities between days 1 and 4, days 2 and 5, and days 3 and 6. See: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Framework_interpretation It has a kind of poetic structure so it might not be intended...

When I was in primary school I avoided camps for a while because I heard that sometimes other people could see you having showers. When I had my first manic episode I still had strong inhibitions about being seen in the nude. Later when I was at some markets I was alone with a daughter of my...
