when howard was a kid in the US- a relative visited from far away and he wanted to know "where"
he received a gift of "geography almanac" with colorful pictures and avidly read it.
this created a problem on his first day of school when the rabbi taught "first god created the earth" was that before stars?
according to religion stars are on the fourth day of the creation myth.
i made a chart to display the differences between "science-history" and "religious history"
which is fact?
what is based on reality seems more reliable- what was discovered in digs and published.
but that is just me.
science order-----------------------------------religious order
1 stars 13.9 billion years bc[b-bc]----------earth=ground dust =first in 4.5 b-bc or 5000 bc
2 The Earth 4.5 billion bc--------------------^^^ day 1 of 6
3 aquatic life-sponges 550 m-bc-------------fish after plants=day 5. after earth: plants day3
4 scorpion [eat land-life] 390 m-bc----------land-life day 5 and 6. after plants: stars day 4
5 simple plants 350 m-bc---------------------plants before fish day 3. after stars: fish day 5
note: some religious leaders "submit the bible to science" and interpret the "holy bible" in ways that the bible ACCEPTS and MEANT the order of science- for example the compromise that:
"some '''interpret'" stars created the same day as earth" oops that is still different. and by almost 10 billion years, oh well. half is 5 billion so total 10-13 billion.
science observes that "stars are currently forming" allowing us to compute the properties needed- for a star to burn=born. also and challenging the "past tense verb created" as well as the context of star creation- and even the "resting after creation" unless god works on some of the seventh days? and if so religious people should act like god and work too?
