A. Day 1.
B. Day 4.
C. June 6, 1821.

Q2 will go up when someone gets that right. :wink:

One …

Two…

Three… What’s wrong with you?

[quote]but okay[/quote]OK. :neutral:

WRONG!! :smiley:

…told you it was hard…

I think it is the fourth day as well:
“14 And God said, “Let there be lights in the expanse of the sky to separate the day from the night, and let them serve as signs to mark seasons and days and years, 15 and let them be lights in the expanse of the sky to give light on the earth.” And it was so. 16 God made two great lights - the greater light to govern the day and the lesser light to govern the night. He also made the stars. 17 God set them in the expanse of the sky to give light on the earth, 18 to govern the day and the night, and to separate light from darkness. And God saw that it was good. 19 And there was evening, and there was morning - the fourth day.”

Hmmm … I don’t.

Did you know the phrase you bolded is extrapolated from a single Hebrew word?

If it’s light, then that’s easy.

Hmm… I saw one article that claimed the verb ‘create’ in “He created the stars” is actually pluperfect, meaning God created the stars at one point, but not the 4th day, and they are mentioned on the 4th day just to show how they, the sun, and the moon are to be used. In which case the answer is d) the bible does not say.

Hmmm … that is a fairly reasonable assessment, but perhaps there are clues elsewhere to help us out. There are, afterall, only three other days to choose from. It can’t be that hard, can it? :wink:

Day 1.

You just want to move on to the next question, don’t you. :smiley: I know your tricks! :sunglasses: OK, wish granted … don’t tell anyone I was looking to do the same. :whistle:

Q2 - Who sacrificed the first animal?
A: God.
B: Abel.
C: Michael Vick.

It depends on what you mean by ‘sacrificed’. Technically, the covering of skin provided by God for Adam and Eve subsequent to the Fall came from an animal which had been killed for the purpose (‘sacrificed’ to make a covering for the fallen as it were, a protoevangelium), so the answer would be A. However, the earliest sacrifice of an animal explicitly to God is Abel’s, so the answer would be B.

Are you ready to quit your sinful ways and walk the righteous path that leads to Heaven?
a. No
b. Yes

A. I don’t want to walk there, I just want to die and let my spirit fly to heaven.

stars were born by gravitational forces causing the slow accretion of large masses of hydrogen until they eventually reached critical fusion mass. I didn’t see that in the Bible anywhere.

Oh, and A for the Doc’s question. But is it still true if one doesn’t believe in the concept of sin?

I was gonna give Fortigurn’s answer, but he did it first.

It’s ok, John Philoponus managed to figure a lot of it out in the 6th century, using the Bible. It was a vast improvement over Aristotle’s wacky ideas.

Isn’t day 1 debatable, as day 1 might occur a long time after “the beginning” ?

I didn’t expect the Spanish Inquisition.
