Well, on the Allah thing. We know that allah is the moon god and hence the crescent moon symbol. Lucifer is generally thought to mean morning star or day star, which is actually the planet Venus in astronomy. So to make a connection to the moon god may be a stretch. One, could say the moon is visible during the day too so...???

On the gap theory, it has been a while since I have studied that in detail but I personally believe the Genesis account is 6 creation periods or era's which is permissible in Hebrew. Yom echad, Day one, can be a non-24 hr period of time. G-d would have to be deceptive in order to accomplish a literal 7 day creation by giving the "appearance" of great age, including deceptively setting photons in motion from distant points in the universe to make it "look" like these objects were of acient origin. G-d is not a deceiver, therefore the creation periods must be long. Also, we are still in the 7th day or 7th era. The bible doesnt mention the end of the 7th day.

Okay..Thanks for answering....I am always reading and mainly about religion and the ancient world!

Sometimes quantum physics, but that takes some time!
Yikes!

Shalom!
Tarah!

Interesting. The Maya's believe the present age will end in 2012 and that there have been several ages already. People tend to think the Maya's were saying that he world would end in 2012, but, that isn't what they were saying at all.

The ancient Egyptians too believed in many ages, one for each sign of the zodiac. I forget how many thousands of years each age was supposed to be.
