Russell2,

I don't think the Bible (I know its not) refuting the existence of stars existing before the earth. I'd give God a little more credit than that. I'd have to review, but don't even think that is the order from the Biblical stand point. (Your list).

I have a different slant than the fundamentalists with my perspective on the fall, too, but it was all how it was meant to be. All part of the plan. Not a punishment. (Not how we interpret that....)

What I never get an answer on from any of you who, apparently, don't even believe in life after death (do you?) is how you account for supernatural things then??? And how the heck wouldn't that be related? What makes us a living soul? What do you think happens when we die? Seriously????
