Genesis 1:6-9->We have to assume here that Hubbles constant varies through space in that time(it doesnt happen today)
I think of Hubbles constant that it is a function of time and of space
(a metric slightly different from Robertson-Walkers) but as time grows it tends to be more constant in space.
And i believe in the beggining all the concentrated matter(I will call it Big Earth) are spinning,thats why God could define the days.
Big Earths mass was astronomicaly bigger than Earths and for conservation of angular momentum the period of rotation astronomically bigger(This solves the six day paradox).
Light would be affected by gravity moving in a circular orbit
around the Big Earth(why not?)
Of course if light fallens then Big Earth will be a black hole but God did it in a manner that light would circumvent it.
That is why God defines day and night
When God made the expansion,light was set free from the Earths gravitational force due to the astronomical change in mass.

Newborn, this is not intended as any sort of comment on your content BUT - The message this is a reply to seems to be pretty representitive of you writing style.

​

It would make for nicer reading, if you could improve on the structure of your writing.

​

There are probably others (mike the wiz, for one) who might also try to follow this suggestion. You know - Capitalization (sp?), punctuation, spelling, paragraph breaks, etc.

​

Try to do the best you can.

​

Cheers,
Adminnemooseus

ps: So how many spelling errors etc. did I make in this message?
No reply really called for.

In a subsequent message to John, Newborn indicated that English is not his/her primary language.When I was preparing the message 6 (above quoted), I did realize that there are people here for whom English is not their primary language, and that Newborn might be one of them. I certainly have a great deal of respect for those who can communicate in a non-native language. It is not something I can do.I didn't at all intend insult towards Newborn (or mike the wiz). I repeat my closing phrase: Try to do the best you can.By the way, since I'm preparing this message in a word processor, it has been pointed out to me that I misspelled "representative".Cheers,

Hi Moose, It is a pity you didn't check the spelling of your topic title on the word processor too, or is the wise old Moose just testing his audience?Brian.

DO'H. I "kinda" though that it was incorrect, and I thought I did check the spelling of "writting", and that Microsoft Word didn't flag it as being wrong.One of the main common words that always gives me problems: Is it "probibly" or "probably"? I've probably looked it up many times, in my "Webster's Instant Word Guide".Cheers,

I am just wondering if it's a co-incidence that we both have similar beliefs, I find it odd you picked on me in particular as i have came across some pretty awful spellings and I don't think i'm that bad.I definately don't think i'm in the top ten anyway.Okay I miss capital letters but it's not an english class , besides it's my language I'll abuse it if I want.lol

mike, I think that your and Newborn's writing styles and structures struck me as being similar.Keep working on using that "shift" key at the proper times. Spaces after periods are also nice.Quality writing form is important, for making a good impression.Cheers,
AdminnemooseusAdded by edit - ps: I did start by starting a sentence with mike, rather than Mike. That is the way you registered your name. Call it the e e cummings effect. I also have the problem of whether to refer to myself as minnemooseus or Minnemooseus (when in the non-admin mode).Second edit: Not that I find such errors to be a big deal, but I've corrected the spelling of "simular" to "similar".[This message has been edited by Adminnemooseus, 07-16-2003]

One thing you will always find is 'God' is always with A capital letter when I spell it. I guess it is an inferiority complex, thanks for the advice I will try my best.

I just thought I'd point out also that in your sentence
[q]...seems to be pretty representitive of you writing style.[/q]
you forgot the r in "your". Just an amusing point, I thought, and I am sure I am no better ehhe

I suspect that that missing "r" was one of those "typos" that slipped by, because of lax proof reading. I know I've seen such things in other past messages from members of the Moose family. Often they don't seem significant enough to bother with an edit, especially if it's an old message.Another thing I sometimes find happening, is that a word or phrase that was originally correct, is made incorrect when I change something elsewhere in the sentence. Or perhaps I make a change to the following text, and accidently delete a letter.All in all, any message of any length, that I don't create on the word processor, has a good chance of containing at least one misspelling. So now you can search for the spelling errors in this message.Cheers,

I am only to aware of the effort required in keeping out all of one's errors in messages. I just thought I'd jump on the bandwagon and point out some irrelevent error .
On a more serious note...Though it can be hard to decipher what some people write I don't usually pay attention, unless it is painfully obvious that the person could use some help with their grammer. Then i just see it as a friendly nudge in the proper direction. I understand that for some, english is not their native language, but I wonder if there are some on this forum who are just lazy and typing in some kind of "chat-form". I understand the need for abreviations and bypassing certain facts of grammer or punctuation when writing in real-time but in a forum such as this it seems easy enough to write up your responce in some kind of word format and check for errors there before you cut and paste. Would save a lot of headaches for those of us doing the deciphering.

I didn't want to be the first to say it, but shouldn't that be spelt "response"?PE
