How to make sand.

The big problem with the Buzsaw hypothesis is that sand is made of silica which is far from soluble. It can't be produced by evaporation.Also both A and B are contradicted by our sicentifc understanding of the history of the Earth.D is just speculation based on myth

How can you alledge that the Genesis account states nothing applicable to modern science?

Well it's pretty obvious isn't it ? The original waters are a common feature of Middle Eastern Creation myths - and not at all scientific. There are stars far older than Earth. THe sky is not a solid barrier. Day and night are a consequence of the Earth's rotation on it's axis and have nothing to do with some "separation of light and darkness" that took place before the sun existed.

That's not what I hypothesised. If you recap you see that my logic on the making of the sand was that the premordial mix of water and soil, i.e. mud was indicative of something to cause the mix to remain as mud rather than for the soil to settle beneath the water for an undeterminate period of time before light appeared. Whether this was seismic or weather conditions would be unknown but the implication was that there was ongoing mixing of the soup which would perhaps be indicative of producing sand.

This really makes no sense. Why would an assumed mix of mud (which is NOT mentioned in the Bible) and water produce sand, no matter how much it was stirred ?

Not only that, but according to Genesis chapter one, the stars (likely those relative to earth, i.e the Milky Way) did not appear until day 4.

​

Since the record has the earth alone before day four, perhaps this means that the earth came from the other heavens and was placed into the Milky Way galaxy. T

SInce the Bible doesn't say any such thing it is far more likely that the author of the story didn't know what he was talking about.
