    They CAN test such a hypothesis via indirect observations and logic. What barrier would be stopping them from doing this?
    They can, for example, observe micro-crystal growth in samples of collected molten material ( which can be collected with a metal devise attached to a cable that is thrown into a lava hole -I have seen this done ) and cool it at various speeds such as either in seconds or in minutes and observe the resulting differences in micro-crystal growth in the samples and then extrapolate from that data what those micro-crystal growth would look like if it cooled over a few million years and then see if that is what is observed in granite.

    The fact that the theory of the formation of granite claims that it takes millions of years does not make it untestable . It is a clear and precise claim and can be tested against evidence , advances in physics geology etc may make it possible to make practical tests . It is the point about the clearly precise claim that makes it refutable and therefore different from religious claims which are unclear and fail any falsification test. Technical advances have supported and refuted scientific theory throughout history , as long as science makes precise testable claims and we accept theories fail we move on.

    You are trying to mix truth with lies. It is true that science can test things, but they can't test everything. When they have created granite and a living thing then come back and then you might be able to teach me something. Right now, you are nothing but a child trying to teach a grownup something he knows more about than that child. I reccommend that the child go away and get an education and then come back with his head out of his arse.

    I read it like this:

    God hovers over the waters for an indeterminate time.
    God creates light and separates it from darkness. Only now does Day 1 begin.

    The 6 days of Gen 2 refer to completion of the work started at the creation of light. They don't specify how long any events before that took.

    Jaywill does not agree with you. Is he a New Atheist now?
    The Holy Bible presents us with a creation week and each day consists of an evening (night time) and a morning (day time).

    I believe a week is conveyed. But this week is a week of restoration, recovery, and further creation. This is a week of reconstruction. And we cannot really know too much about what preceeded.

    There are other "gaps" in the Scipture. In Hebrews 11, the book of the heros of the faith, there is a gap. The entire 40 years of Israel's wandering in the wilderness is simply NOT accounted for as the writer traverses history of the faithful in the Old Testament.

    For his own reasons, the wandering in the wilderness of Sinai for 40 years was simply ignored. It is as if the writer simply does not want to mention anything that happened in that period as being "by faith".

    It is left out according to the priorities of the Holy Spirit. The same could be true for time between when God created the heavens and the earth in the beginning and the time the seer sees in his vision the earth in a state of void and emptiness. Like the 40 years of wandering omitted from Hebrews 11, the Holy Spirit could have just left out an interval not of immediate interest to His burden.

    And Jaywill knocked ProperKnob for suggesting that evidence there never was a world wide flood conflicted with the Bible.

    1. Genetics has revealed that the human population has never been as low as 8 people, contradicting the story of the flood.

    2. There has never been a global flood.


    Jawill replied: The phrase "global flood" does not occur in the Bible.

    The first point is interesting. However, I doubt that it rises above theory or speculation (albeit well reasoned according to current levels of knowledge) to be a known science FACT.

    If that is true, then they are all morons like yourself.
    The vast majority of people who have “one or more graduate degrees in a science discipline” in this modern day of science and reason do not believe in such nonsense.
    Scientists that believe in creationism only make up a crank minority of scientists that have no credibility as a result of their idiotic claims.

    Here are some of the statistics on that:

    http://truth-saves.com/evolution/qa-misconceptions.php

    “....A 1991 Gallup poll of Americans found that only about 5% of scientists identified themselves as creationists. However, this number includes those working in fields not related to life origins (such as computer scientists, mechanical engineers, etc.). Taking into account only those working in the relevant fields of earth and life sciences, there are about 480,000 scientists, but only about 700 believe in creationism or consider it a valid theory (Robinson 1995). This means that less than 0.15 percent of relevant scientists believe in creationism. And that is just in the United States, which has more creationists than any other industrialized country. In other countries, the number of relevant scientists who accept creationism drops to less than one tenth of one percent. ...” ( my emphasis)


    and

    http://wiki.answers.com/Q/Approximately_what_percentage_of_recognized_scientists_DO_NOT_believe_in_Creation

    So, in the United States, an undefined majority of scientists do not believe in God. In Britain, 86 percent of eminent scientists do not believe in God. Since some respondents were apparently agnostic (in Britain chose 3,4 or 5) and some who believe in God probably do not believe in creation, the total proportion who do not believe in creation must be somewhat higher than 86 percent. ( my emphasis)


    Do you deny that the vast majority of scientists are NOT creationists despite these statistical facts?

    You are reading it wrong. Let's look at it again.

    Thus the heavens and the earth were completed, and all their hosts. By the seventh day God completed His work which He had done, and He rested on the seventh day from all His work which He had done.

    Genesis 2:1-2 NASB)

    In the beginning of God's work He created the heavens and the Earth. (Genesis 1:1) Notice that Genesis 2:1-2 refers back to this work of creation in which it includes the heavens and the Earth. It states that by the seventh day God had completed all His work, so he just rested that final day.

    So from Genesis 2 we know that the creation of the heavens and the Earth and light was all on the first day, because everything, including the Earth was completed by the beginning of the seventh day. There is no statement that there was any long time period between the creation of the heavens and the earth and light. It is all said to have happened in one day. Genesis 2 forbids any other interpretation.

    [b]Everything, including the Earth, was created in six days and God rested on the seventh day.{/b]

    If it is true that they are 'advocates of creation science' then they should be striped of their degrees because they haven't even learn't what the word 'science' means and have no business holding degrees in any science. Although I can understand the mathematicians not understanding science as science is not a prerequisite for maths.

    [/b]Well, I hate to say it, but jaywill has been temporarily deceived into believing the false teachings of Hugh Ross without checking the truthfulness from the writings in the Holy Bible. A true believer must not compromise the clear teachings of the Holy Bible in order to agree with the teachings of sinful man. It is not a requirement for the Holy Bible to write "global flood" to indicate the flood waters covered the entire earth. This is what it says:

    Then the flood came upon the earth for forty days, and the water increased and lifted up the ark, so that it rose above the earth. The water prevailed and increased greatly upon the earth, and the ark floated on the surface of the water. The water prevailed more and more upon the earth, so that all the high mountains everywhere under the heavens were covered. The water prevailed fifteen cubits higher, and the mountains were covered.

    (Genesis 7:18-20 NASB)

    I think that is clear enough without explanation to say it was a worldwide flood if the waters covered the mountains everywhere under the heavens.
