Debate:Is Relativity in direct conflict with the Genesis account? (view source)

:::::The point of view of the observer is precisely the point. The Genesis account does indeed take a view from the earth, and attempts to provide a universal account true for all time. If you were at another time and another place, the chronology would be wrong. This means that IF creation & relativity are deemed compatible, you could make the following predictions: "Any evidence that there is any other point of view OTHER than that of the Earth, would render the Genesis account invalid". This means that if extraterrestrial life were ever discovered, OR we were able to travel to other stars, then Genesis would have to be rewritten OR that relativity is invalid--[[User:Felix|Felix]] 04:25, 20 April 2007 (EDT)

(undent)I don't follow. The POV is established in Gen 1:2, and from there the narrative never leaves the Earth. It doesn't provide an account "for all time," it provides an account for a (disputed) period of time over an unnamed body of water and in the Garden of Eden IIRC. Anyway, the argument you're using still amounts to, "No historical narrative is valid."--[[User:All Fish Welcome|All Fish Welcome]] 04:48, 20 April 2007 (EDT)
