let's crunch some numbers

Those that go with the take that the Bible is the truth are really kinda skimping some details. For instance, it really kinda isn't.

God created the world in 6 days. See, the problem with this, beautifully illustrated in the Scope's Trial, is that before you actually have a planet to work with and a light source for it to spin around..."days" are hard to measure. I like to think of them, then, as God Days...which works with the scientific belief system of the creation of the earth nicely. Each day is about a million years, minus some time for finessing, and you get a lot done. This also works out nicely with God creating the animals because with a broader timespan that allows for the dinosuars too and kicks that nasty bit out of the way that so many go on about dinos not existing because they're not in the Bible.

Well, the platypus is not mentioned in the Bible yet if you know where to look...

Anyway, God created animals and dinos are animals so there.

God eventually gets around to creating man. Could've made man first but in an airless vaccuum that would so have sucked...as there would be no sucking, hence no breathing, hence...you get the idea.

However, to make this short so I can take a late lunch, there's something else that is abundantly evident in the Bible but nowhere does it say God made them. Even if you go with my broad strokes creation groupings...it doesn't even come close to mentioning them anywhere in the creation part of the book.

Angels.


Obviously there are angels in the Bible. They're all over the bloody place. In the comsic scheme of things, angels are the Bible's pigeons! While I don't wanna go all the way with that and wonder what they're using for statues to poop on...it doesn't say God created them anywhere!

So, if the Bible is the TRUTH and it doesn't say that God created the angels...where did they come from exactly?

creation, bible, god, angels
