Re: Creation
Noah knew when he saw that fresh leaf from a tree that the thousands of animals were no able to leave the ark. Fast growing grass and trees mean lots of food now. That is the best interpretation. Fiction is the best explanation.

Re: Creation
Since sons of god are best interpreted as angels, that means spirits. I thought humans were the sons of god? Why would that mean spirits? I have always wondered, do you think angels are more closely related to birds (because they have feathers) or insects (because they have 3 pairs of appendages)? Two arms, two legs, and two wings, how cool is that.

Fast-growing trees is not an explanation at all because there is no such thing as fast-growing trees.

Re: Creation
creation writes: It says the water and land were separated. It does not say that continents were formed then.
Whether it was continents or tiny islands is not relevant. The land was separated from the water and the dry land appeared.

No it isn't.

Re: Creation
Yes, it is. The title sons of god is best associated with angels in the OT.

Re: Creation
"In the passages from Job and Psalms it is applied to supernatural beings or angels. In Job the "sons of God" are represented as appearing before the throne of Yahweh in heaven, ready to do Him service, and as shouting for joy at the creation of the earth, In the Psalms they are summoned to celebrate the glory of Yahweh, for there is none among them to be compared to Him. The phrase in these passages has no physical or moral reference. These heavenly beings are called "sons of God" or "sons of the 'elohim" simply as belonging to the same class or guild as the 'elohim, just as "sons of the prophets" denotes those who belong to the prophetic order (see A.B. Davidson, Commentary on Job 1:6)." Sons Of God - International Standard Bible Encyclopedia

Re: Creation
Creation is a future prologue Genesis 1 to 2.2 is a future prologue to the whole Bible, these things have yet to come, one clue to this is held within Creation day six that God created man in our own image, both man and woman? God (as a single entity) our image (more than one entity)? taken from the definitive revised English version Edited by Son of Man, : noticed mistake and added to inc. source
the first will be the last and the last will be the first.

Re: Creation

"Best' is just your unsupported opinion. Another, more straightforward, interpretation is that the "sons of God' were the offspring of Seth - i.e. the "good" offspring of Adam, as opposed to the offspring of Cain, who were the "bad" offspring of Adam.

You claimed in Message 1215 that, "It says the water and land were separated. It does not say that continents were formed then." I'm just pointing out that the land was the continents.

It really does. If there are no fast-growing trees now, there's no reason to think there were fast-growing trees in Noah's time. Fast-growing trees are contra-indicated by everything we know about biology, chemistry, physics, etc.
