I don't understand what you're saying. Sorry. 18 hours ago, Michael37 said: The other planets rotate at different speeds, and have lesser or greater orbital distances around the sun so we can compare the earth's specifications with these and conclude that we indeed are in what scientists call "the Goldilocks Zone," neither too close nor too far from the sun, and subject to 4 seasons by reason of the earth's tilted axis. I am hopelessly lost in your explanation. Sorry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just don't see how you get to that understanding of the Genesis text. @JohnR7 showed me a different translation and commentary that I wasn't aware of. It's quite interesting.

The fact that every planet has a dark side and light side, a rotation and an orbit, comes to my mind whenever the discussion of the evenings and mornings in Genesis 1 crops up. That, and our planet being perfect for life. If Earth, however, were a little closer to the sun, our planet might be like hot choking Venus. A little farther away, the Earth might be like cold arid Mars. Somehow, though, we ended up in just the right place with just the right ingredients for life to flourish. Researchers of the 1970's scratched their heads and said we were in "the Goldilocks Zone." NASA - The Goldilocks Zone That's all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
