Carl, Amnon,
Genesis 1:16-18 talks about God making the two great lights. One was to rule
over the day, the other over the night. I've often wondered, ala
Velikovsky, if once upon a time we actually had a moon that circled the
earth in the exact same time as the sun, thus maintaining this perfect
relationship of the verse. For where, I have always wondered, are moon
"phases" mentioned in the Bible? Wasn't the moon originally supposed to be
there every night to rule over us?
