  Please do show the spiritual texts which cover general and specific relativity.

    The Bible says something about the earth and how it is good and the filament of the sky and some shit, at least that’s what I read on the internet. Many fine people on the internet, the best people, but not me but the best people probably. The best people say the earth may be - and I’m not saying it is but they are saying it - they say that the earth may be flat and that doesn’t take much text to cover I have heard.

    If you squint a little, the 7 days of creation in Genesis are relativistic-ish. 1 day to separate light from darkness (photons at 1 microsecond after Big Bang), another to create the sky (opaque universe at 370k years), another to form dry land and create life (earth formed, 9.3 billion years, life at ~0.2by later), etc etc. Anyone with a physics degree able to say what fraction of light speed god must have been travelling to make this happen such that only days passed for them between these events?

      Maybe they’re days on a logarithmic scale?

        No.

      They are literal days.
      Our God is King of leading by example.
      Also, man was made from the dust of the earth. It was fitting that earth be created before man (also very important for prideful man).
      As He did, so we must do.
      It is repeated constantly that we have 6 days to work, the 7th to be set apart.
      Why?

        Rabbinical scholars argue about the correct translation of Genesis to this day. So you saying they’re “literal days” is meaningless.

    You are missing the point. The creation myths were considered complete. Nothing left to be known.

      Well yes, people who believe things that aren’t true won’t admit that they don’t know anything. I’m not sure why that’s relevant though.

        You stated “this has been always true” to the statement that we have understanding that things are really complex and difficult to figure out. The answer to you was an example that there were times where we did not have such understanding.

        I think their actual point was that incomplete explanations are nonetheless explanations.

        Material things are way below what God planned for man.
        Man was meant to be like God (in a good way).
        The Bible is not meant to be a physics textbook.
        Nevertheless, God owns everything. So things were talked about here and there...

    Deal if you show me the scientific texts that covered these in 500bc since you think we’ve always know how complex this is.

    • xintrik@lemm.ee ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

      If your point was that religions have oversimplified complex science to the point that people thought they fully grasped it, then I agree with you. Otherwise I have no idea what you are trying to say.

      I never made that claim, so how can I show you something I never claimed in the first place?
