Point 6- "Bible says moon has its own light? No"

Point No.6 - The Bible says in Genesis, Ch. 1, Verses No.16, that…‘God created two lights the greater light, the Sun to rule the day, and the lesser light the Moon, to rule the night. The actual translation, if you go to the Hebrew text, it is ‘lamps’…‘Lamps having lights of its own.’ And that you will come to know better, if you read both the Verses – Genesis, Ch. No.1, Verse. 16, as well as 17. Verse No.17 says…‘And Almighty God placed them in the firmament, to give light to the earth…  To give light to the earth.’ Indicating, that Sun and the Moon has its own light - which is in contradiction with established scientific knowledge that we have. There are certain people who try and reconciliate, and say that the six days mentioned in theBible, it actually refers to epocs - like the Qur’an long periods - not six, 24 hour day. It is illogical - you read in the Bible, evening, morning - It clearly states 24 hours, it indicates. But even if I use the concordance approach - no problem. I agree with your illogical argument - Yet they will only be able to solve the 1st scientific error of 6 days creation, and second, of first day ‘light’ and 3rd day ‘earth.’ The remaining four, yet they cannot solve. Some further say that… ‘If it is a 24-hour period, why cannot the vegetables survive for one 24 hour day without sunlight?’ I say ‘Fine - If you say that the vegetables were created before the sun, and can survive for one 24-hour day, I have got no objection. But you cannot say the days mentioned are 24 hours as well as epochs - You cannot have the cake and eat it, both. If you say it is long period, you solve Point No.1 and 3, the remaining 4 are yet there. If you say the days are 24 hours day, you solve only Point No.5 - the remaining 5 are yet there - It becomes unscientific. I leave it to Dr. William Campbell, whether he wants to say… ‘It is long period’, and say that there are only 4 scientific errors - or say… ‘It is a 24 hour day’, and say there is only 5 scientific errors in the creation of the universe.

1) מהארת (Mha'rt) = illuminating, lighting up.
Genesis 1:16 
וַיַּעַשׂ אֱלֹהִים, אֶת-שְׁנֵי הַמְּאֹרֹת הַגְּדֹלִים:  אֶת-הַמָּאוֹר הַגָּדֹל, לְמֶמְשֶׁלֶת הַיּוֹם, וְאֶת-הַמָּאוֹר הַקָּטֹן לְמֶמְשֶׁלֶת" הַלַּיְלָה, וְאֵת" הַכּוֹכָבִים. " <- (right to left)
(left to right) -> "And God made the two great lights: the greater light to rule the day, and the lesser light to rule the night; and the stars."

Mr Scientific Naaik:"if you go to the Hebrew text, it is ‘lamps’…‘Lamps having lights of its own." So Naaik here, caught red hand for lying with out any proofs, as like he converted 'Noor' (light in arabic) to reflection in the quran and stated "moon reflects light already told in quran" . 
But unfortunately Mr. Naaik tries to misinterpret 'Mha'rt'(illumination or lighting) in Hebrew wrongly as 'lamp', there by moon is lamp, to prove that bible is 'not scientific'. Pathetic failure! (1 Request to Naaik please don't ever create a heap of lies and sit on it, and claim others as unscientific, its really nasty!)

2) Day of Genesis (See 'period')is clearly mentioned as the period of availability of light.

3) So from last post (Source of Earth before sun), I made clear that, a Massive star or constellation where there which had provided the source of energy for Earth & creation of sun. Thus, a common man can understood how earth habitability (means life forms) could be survived before sun, probably Massive star may be a scientific reason. (Even though our Science have not matured yet, lets wait and see)

4) Mha'rt = illuminating, lighting up. This really proves that bible is perfect, a single word which can used in both illumination (moon), and lighting up (sun). This avoids a lot of misinterpretation on early days and current days. While quran fails here!

Am I made this clear?
