The Genesis account of creation tells of YHWH creating the earth and heavens on the **first day**. Then **3 days later** He created the luminaries. ***From a literal interpretation, is there an alternative explanation besides a geocentric earth(dryland), which is also more RATIONAL?*** *Geocentrism* (noun) - the concept that the earth is the center of God's creation. *Rational* (adj) - Consistent with or based on reason or good judgment; logical or sensible. **Premise** Genesis 1 KJV 10 And God called the dry land ***earth***; and the gathering together of the waters called he Seas: and God saw that it was good. 11 And God said, Let the earth bring forth grass, the herb yielding seed, and the fruit tree yielding fruit after his kind, whose seed is in itself, upon the earth: and it was so. 12 And the earth brought forth grass, and herb yielding seed after his kind, and the tree yielding fruit, whose seed was in itself, after his kind: and God saw that it was good. 13 And the evening and the morning were the third day. 14 And God said, **Let there be *lights in the firmament of the heaven* to divide the day from the night; and let them be for signs, and for seasons, and for days, and years:** 15 And let them be for *lights in the firmament of the heaven to give light upon the earth*: and it was so. 16 And God made **two great lights; the greater light to rule the day, and the lesser light to rule the night: he made the stars also**. 17 And God set them in the firmament of the heaven to give light upon the earth, 18 And to rule over the day and over the night, and to divide the light from the darkness: and God saw that it was good. 19 And the evening and the morning were the **fourth day**. -------------------------------------------- Edit: Please to not down vote this good question because you can't provide a good answer. We are all searching for Truth here. **Science is a method, not a body of knowledge.** Any science that is contrary to the words of God must be assumed to have been conducted from bias or without precision and therefore are subjective and wrong. A rational scientific concept is a logically true explanation. What are the logically true explanations of the OT verses in the premise? I can only think of one which spawned the question in my mind.
