    What day do you think water was created on? Why was it not frozen before the sun was created? Why does it say no sea in the new earth. I already know what I believe and I’ll post it after work. Just curious what do y’all believe. One clue is chaos.

    Were gymnosperms, angiosperms or spore bearing plants show up first in superimposed layers?

    In the superimposed geological layers we notice that as green algae became terrestrial that different plants begin to evolve. We see the chemical signatures and even cooler, we see the basal forms diverging as morphology showcases speciation.

    This one centers on Cain and his brother, Abel. Many times people often believe that the death of Abel is wrapped up in mystery, and one of those mysteries is how did Cain kill Abel. It’s often claimed that the Bible never says how he did it. But personally, I believe it does. Most people seem...
