Debate: Does God exist?
Side: Theism

Well if God inspired the elements needed for time from day 4 and put that in place 1st, then each day would literally be interpreted as 24 hours.I think to the natural most basic mind the order would have been different More likely establishing time 1st or even time 3rdBut the author actually did something different.He started with space, then the author went to earths form. Its far fetched to think the earth was just an unformed rock in space.So the author started with a reaction in space. Then jumped from the reaction in space to the world's form and start of life through simple growth of plants reseeding and filling with bacterial and oxygen and nutrients.Without the oxygen produced by a land rich in plant life, no creature could survive.So even that is basically advanced.So he adreeses an event in space placing a rock filled with water which may have been melted ice arriving with water on top of ground like a rock crusted over by dense ice. So its very possible these are the building blocks of all life being placed 1st! Only to go back to space on day 4. To then place time. THEN back to Earth to complete life. Life which clearly has time attached.So the thought process is pretty advanced.A guy who can't see asteroids or other space activity, other than the obvious that any 8 year old can look at, and he drew a picture by the text that generations of years were applied to the 1st 3 days. And then even said in a portion of the text "generation of days = 1 day" and we know that any 8 year old can give the broad stroke of sunrise - day sunset - evening. As a matter of life intelligence, they lived life by a 24 hour day, and seasons! It was probably the most understood applicable knowledge they had at the time! So why didn't he start with what he knew best?The day woke them to care for all their things, their livelihood, their families, their flocks, their food sources, and especially their vegitation! Yet the author has the sun after vegitation filling the earth.For a prehistoric guy the sun and seasons was their sustenance. Warmth growth of crops. So why put vegitation growth before time sun and moon.Why put sun after the growth upon the earth.If you were the prehistoric guy writing this what order would you have. And which days would you change as events.Would you in practicality start with an unformed rock dangling in a black hole?What's incredible is the 1st 4 days. So if you actually think about the picture he is drawing in each verse, it is extremely advanced! Read the first 4 chapters. Even if you read them before and picture each day. Then think about somethings we know today, and think about their limiyltations back then.This is how advanced that 1st story is, it literally already addressed the Bing Bang!It addressed atmosphere. It even addressed the cycle of rain. Also when it was written they had rain. It addresses a water canopy released at the great flood. A prehistoric guy may think 40 days of intense rain could cover the little earth he lived on at the time. But the author instead suggests the 1st rain was a violent release of a water canopy. So the author by doing so addresses atmospheric changes. From mist from the ground. Which would make sense with condensation and humidity. And addressed the change in atmosphere to even oxygen content.Before and after the flood had a big impact on life expectancy, as well as sin/curse of man reducing life expectancy.The dinosaurs even though saved through the flood may not have been able to survive these changes, and all life expectancy was reduced as the atmosphere thinned. The water canopy probably made the earth extremely rich with oxygen. And other nutrients. So I think if we look at what was not possibly known and see the explanations I think advanced science is written. There is "nothing new under the sun"
