Re: LET THERE BE LIGHT.
There cannot be evidences outside of the genesis premise: else the finite factor would be violated. Evidences infer pre-uni entities and observers. Understand the hedy thresholds depicted by Genesis correctly - it is deceptively simple to cater to all generations; it transcends our current meagre knowledge which will most surely change in 50 years. Genesis is 1000's of years old and the first alphabetical book.
You forgot to include "Amen" at the end of your post, because it certainly does not reflect what science is investigating or theorizing.

Religious belief does not constitute scientific evidence, nor does it convey scientific knowledge.

Re: LET THERE BE LIGHT.
Have you not forgotten to state which universe you are discussing - a finite or infinite one? State your preamble before the amen.
The universe observed and described by scientists, what else?
In the Science Forum, what other universe is there to discuss?

LET THERE BE WATER (or not)
But you have not negated genesis in any way what so ever, even using the best of today's sciences.
If you include all of genesis, the global flood ca. 4,350 years ago has been totally refuted. This refutation happened about 200 years ago, and the evidence since then has only accumulated that Noah's flood was a myth, and never really happened.
If you want to defend this, let's go to an appropriate thread. I can provide evidence for my statement from my own archaeological research.

Re: The creationist scientific theory of the origin of light
If the creator was a highly advanced form of alien life, then it would not be magic.
Clarke's Three Laws are three "laws" of prediction formulated by the British writer and scientist Arthur C. Clarke. They are:
  • When a distinguished but elderly scientist states that something is possible, he is almost certainly right. When he states that something is impossible, he is very probably wrong.
  • The only way of discovering the limits of the possible is to venture a little way past them into the impossible.
  • Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic.

Re: The creationist scientific theory of the origin of light
Something being indistingishable from magic does not actually make it magic. So the aliens starting the universe, while indistinguishable from magic, does not actually make it magic.
Of course!
That's the point of Clarke's Third Law.
The Cargo Cult folks immediately after WWII in the Pacific used imitative magic to try to get the cargo to return. It didn't of course.
But that is another good example of Clarke's Third Law.
And I guess this is another good example of a well-reasoned but off-topic post, eh?
