God describes them as "evening and morning" and on the forth day we are instructed by God He created the sun, moon and stars for "signs, and seasons and days and years." Everywhere outside of the First Chapter where evening and morning are used it refers to a solar day. So we either accept God at His Word or accept fallible men's theories which change from decade to decade.

This leaves absolutely no room for claiming Genesis is compatible with the Big Bang. The Bible tells us the universe and the earth started out cool and will end with intense heat. The Big Bang says the universe started out hot and will end in the ultimate heat death were entropy has runs its course. The Bible tells us God made the sun, moon, and stars on day four. The Big Bang teaches there were eons of time before the stars formed. And then more eons of time before the sun formed. There is NO compatibility between the First Chapter of the Bible and the Big Bang.


That's right.
