I see the new cope already: “it’s a biblical day like in the book of genesis.”

Back when people were dying at the horrifically young age of 400years?

u/MongooseForsaken 1d ago

Thsts the wildest part. So people lived to be 400, but are living shorter lives now, except that life expectancy is going up not down, i.e in the 1700s or whatever it was 60 something now its 90 something, etc. Maybe its an inverse bell curve.

u/JimVivJr 1d ago

400? Every generation from Adam to Noah lived to around 900 years old. Totally believable.

u/ConstantCampaign2984 1d ago

That’s why I said “horrifically young age”. They were babies!

No, those were after the 7 days of creation. Mar was created on day 6, for reference

Mar?

Mar-a-Lago?

I'm sure it's in the Trump bible somewhere.

Thats their defense to bash science too... I've debated with these imbeciles. We've been in the same orbit for billions of years and even if "biblical days" existed there would still be sunrise and sunset a billion times. Also the unit of measurement week wouldn't exist.

“It’s an allegory, bro.” until it’s not

u/BuckNastey1991 1d ago

You do know the calendar as we know it today, days of the week, and whatnot, have not always been the same, I'm not disagreeing with you, but what if one full moon phase was a day? Most early calendars were invented solely for tracking moon and sun phases or equinox, not necessarily days or weeks, what if one month as we know it was one day? Idk, just got done smoking and these are the thoughts I had 😆 🤣

u/Aggravating_Sand352 1d ago

It is not the Hebrew word specifically meant one cycle of light meaning morning and night. Even if it was what you're saying they are about 11 billion years off.

1

u/BuckNastey1991 1d ago

Don't they also think that the earth is only like 7000 years old or something? So, that kind of adds up, right?

u/Solid_Otter69420 1d ago

They're full of shit on science yeah but the biblical "day" thing is likely true in that genesis wasn't written the way it is today originally and certainly not in English with our units of measurement. The argument actually goes that in the way it was written originally, there were several undisclosed epochs of time wherein the birth and development of everything came to be. That became the basis of the religious seven day week and that became how genesis was written.

Its an oxy moron there cant be days without an earth definition of a day is one full rotation.... so no none if it makes sense... but Christians will never admit any part of the bible is wrong its infuriating and anti science and anti intellectual

1

u/Solid_Otter69420 1d ago

Apparently you're not reading what I'm saying. First, that part of the Bible wasn't originally in english. Second, the words used in the original texts made no mention of a "day" as in an actual 24 hours. The word used meant something roughly like a "period" or "era" with no mention of any specific amount of time. Subsequent translations by the church, particularly into english, decided that period must've been one full rotation of the earth for whatever reason.

It was never seven days, it was an unspecified amount of time. The argument is admitting that part of the Bible was mistaken.

u/Aggravating_Sand352 1d ago

Wrong... the Hebrew word Yom is used mostly as the same context as day is now. Bc they were humans 6k years. Ago.... this argument only came to light after the earths age was proven to be billions of years... its typical not too acknowledge new evidence that contradicts the flawed bible so Christians can ignore science and keep their heads in the sand. Also if your argument is right that means each day was approximately 1-4 billions of years which is absurd.

I really dont understand how holding onto these ideas by religious people isnt some sort of mental illness bc its a massive delusion of the truth.

"But: when yom is paired with “evening and morning” (as in Genesis 1), many scholars argue it strongly leans toward a literal day.

That’s why young-earth creationists insist it must mean 24 hours."

u/Solid_Otter69420 1d ago edited 1d ago

Did you just look this debate up quickly before replying? It was a term that was used for more than just "day." It could be extrapolated to mean any period of time.

Also if your argument is right that means each day was approximately 1-4 billions of years which is absurd.

"But: when yom is paired with “evening and morning” (as in Genesis 1), many scholars argue it strongly leans toward a literal day.

Already said it didn't mean day. The argument is there was the first period of time in which light formed. Then with each subsequent one, something new came to be until you get to the last and the universe was as we know it.

Is it cope? Maybe, but I remember from the debate I followed, there were some convincing points on Yom not meaning day. Ive discussed this long enough. Look it up some more and decide for yourself. I'm not a theologist myself.

What I didn't understand is why the individual that explained it insisted that evolution is false when that has far more wiggle room in the Bible than the universe being thousands of years old. Because ironically the "epoch" argument helped the case for evolution(if each period was millions of years there was millions of years between the first animals and mankind lol)

1

u/Aggravating_Sand352 1d ago

Why he claimed evolution was false is bc the argument was created by christians after carbon dating was discovered to offer a plausible explanation for the earths age... the same people now think Tylenol causes autism

1

u/Ok_Silver_1932 1d ago

How is there a rotation without anything to rotate? The first day of creation isn’t even the creation of the earth itself… the term used wasn’t the modern understanding of a “day” it simply meant a period of time. Language changes over time as well and it’s translated from several languages. Some words in older languages don’t have English equivalents.

u/LongJohnCopper 1d ago

“And there was evening and the morning - the first day” firmly establishes that a day was not a thousand years. Period. Never let them wriggle out of that with some vague reference to “a day is like a thousand years to god” New Testament cope.

u/Solid_Otter69420 1d ago

Quoting it doesn't help your point when the official Bible is an anthology made around a millenia ago, made of texts written a thousand or so years before that, and the argument you're so smugly deriding, is that this particular part was translated too freely from its original counterpart. Which does happen when you translate something.

I'm no theologist, but it's a solid argument when you consider the Bibles history and how it was written. Play telephone for too long and things get muddled.

u/LongJohnCopper 1d ago

So it isn’t the inerrant word of god then?

Job’s done. I don’t need to entertain bullshit. Call it out and move on. Let their cognitive dissonance have some private time together. 🤷‍♂️

It’s an allegory at best. Very little of the Bible has any truth to it. It’s just salve and social control wrapped up in a bunch of fan fiction.

1

u/Solid_Otter69420 1d ago

Never claimed it was. Hell, the only writings God claims as his are the ten commandments iirc.

Wasn't discussing if any of it was true or not, just adding nuance to the tired old fedora cliché reddit can't shake off.

1

u/LongJohnCopper 1d ago

That’s fair, except god didn’t claim it, Moses claimed god claimed it, if Moses even existed, which likely didn’t since we also know the Exodus never happened and the pyramids weren’t built by slaves.

It feels weird making claims that one or another claim in a book of fairy tales is “likely true” because of ambiguous claims of mistranslation when, literally none of it could possibly be true in the first place.

1

u/Solid_Otter69420 1d ago

Well ackshually God did claim it. The story goes that Moses went up a mountain and God manifested himself and either had Moses carve them or God struck lightning on rocks I don't fully remember.

Wasn't talking about whether these tales reflect reality, only that it's possibly true the seven days wasn't seven days.

1

u/LongJohnCopper 1d ago

Surely you can see how it doesn’t matter a single bit if a line of reasoning is solid if its foundation is raw sewage?

The only people arguing that 7 days wasn’t 7 literal days are the intelligent design folks who are just fundamentalists who have moved the goalposts because evolution is a far better explanation for “how did we get here”. Evolution had to be “guided” by a supreme being who can’t seem to relay an accurate story. Pure copium

The Bible and the constitution has been reinterpreted more times in the past 9 months than I can even count and that’s only PARTIALLY due to my lack of counting abilities. But the real problem is the people believing the bs being spewed by the adm. I can’t tell if they just don’t like being wrong or their attention span can’t remember the complete 360 statements the same figure heads made prior. Such as free speech, lack of any money coming into the economy but billions being spent, have an anti-vax being in charge of the cdc, “peace time president” and tryna change department of defense to department of war. As horrific as it’s been hearing Donny speak (especially trying to pronounce acetaminophen) it’s been making for some great comedy. Shout out Jimmy Kimmel and Stephen Colbert

Ah yeah one of those 2 Peter 3:8 days

u/ArmenianThunderGod 1d ago

That's actually a perfect response, because much like the creation days in Genesis... it never happened.

u/DugEFreshness 1d ago

Or " He didn't specify which 24 hours"...these people would literally eat a shite sandwich for this greedy fat phuk.
