We have gone around before about what 6 days really was in reference to creation. I thought it might be due its own thread.
Yesterday at my son’s cub scout meeting they were making party decorations. The dinosaur stickers were a big hit. One of the kids had drawn some mountains and was putting the dinosaurs in them. I was joking with him and said, “where are the ski lifts?”. We all started talking about how there we no humans when there were dinosaurs, and then his mom jumped in and said, “remember <<child’s name here>> dinosaurs and people were created on the same day, day 6.” On that note we all stopped the discussion becuase that wasn’t the time or place.
Now that got me thinking. I don’t believe that humans and dinosaurs were alive at the same time. However, I find many people do usually based on the 6 day creation theory. I was going to bed last night and had a vision about the make up of the universe. I have said before that “space” as we know it could be a shepre that all we know is inside of. However, I never eally thought about it beyond that. Well what if “space” were a sphere and with that orbited around its own object like Earth does to the sun? It could rotate on its own axes like the Earth, hence a day. Because before the Earth was created what would a day be? We see a day as one revolution of the Earth, or 24 hours.
I tried to draw a picture of what I am talking about however that spot in my brain where artistic ability should be, I believe has been replaced with cotton candy.
The yellow circle is the sun, the small red circle is Earth. The grey area is what we know of space, and the blue circle is what space obits around. The black lines just show the orbiting path.
I also found a couple of passages in the Bible that show that time may be viewed differently to God:
Psalm 90:4
For a thousand years in thy sight are but as yesterday when it is past, and as a watch in the night.
2 Peter 3:8
But, beloved, be not ignorant of this one thing, that one day is with the Lord as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day.
The time it takes to rotate space sould be a thousad or a million years as we know it. This would give plenty of time to create Earth and the dinosaurs and kill off the dinosaurs etc…
