Great read! I appreciate the calm, reasoning tone.

Thatโ€™s what I always aim for. Too many get bent out of shape these days. We need a return to calm reasoning.

Much food for thought here. Thank you for writing.

Cherry picking one detail that's false and applying it to entire story is a strawman argument. There are thousands bits of history and science people initially got wrong which have proven to be true and vice versa

Good observation. I didnโ€™t mention it, but youโ€™re right. Itโ€™s a strawman. Or a hasty generalization. Either works.

But what is crucial is we donโ€™t know for certain the sun was made or moved into place first because we canโ€™t know unless we go back in time to see every moment of creation.

So, the issue is not only a logical fallacy, itโ€™s also unfalsifiable and therefore moot.

Genesis. One of the Mysteries we cannot fully understand on this earth.
