Creationists and IDs: i would like to know your stance on this little detail:

Why are there no green suns?

The funny answer to that is: "because ours is green." A sun is pretty close to emitting ideal black body radiation. Our sun peaks in the green (as does every blackbody radiator around that temperature) You can make suns reder, you can make them bluer, but ours is as green as they come.

Why are plants green?

Photosynthesis, that miracle, absorbs red and blue light. It cant make anything out of green, and therefore reflects that back.

See? The sun puts out most of its visible light in a wavelength plants cant use. Why would god or an ID do that? He actually messed up with "let there be light" already.

First of all the sun is not green. It is called a yellow dwarf star. This should be apparent due to the fact that the world is not surrounded by a greenish hue

Second of all, plants are green because they contain Chlorophyll, not because they block red and blue.

Thirdly, photosynthesis has nothing to do with the colour of plants, it is a process in which use the energy in sunlight to convert Carbon Dioxide and Water into sugars. Which in turn, creates chlorophyll.

Fourth point, if the sun put light in a form that plants couldnt use, then plants wouldnt exist on Earth

Almost every point you made is incorrect

What makes you think that if there is a god that it would do everything the way you consider "right"?

Our sun obviously works, and works well. Plants thrive by it, I understand wholly what you're saying but I must be missing the point, maybe god wanted a green and blue planet? Maybe god didn't really care all that much about earth. Maybe god didn't consciously design every aspect of reality, maybe the randomness inherent in the system is, in itself, by design.

Can you provide proof of any of your claims debunky?

Or can i debunky your thread?

Ok, the light the sun puts out isn't "green" to the eye, every photon contains a spectrum of color, like a prism. What OP is saying, and I don't know how true this is, is that there is more green in the sun's spectrum than any other color. Logically this should mean that plants use that pigment for photosynthesis, plants absorb light which is composed of ALL visible pigment, but they reject the green in the spectrum of color.

The suns light isn't green, it contains green. White is a composite of all the colors of the spectrum, therefore light is white from the sun.

I got a good question.

First God made heaven & earth 2 The earth was without form and void, and darkness was upon the face of the deep; and the Spirit of God was moving over the face of the waters. 3 And God said, "Let there be light"; and there was light. What kind of light was this! compared to what he created on day three?

Then on day three God created:

And God said, "Let there be lights in the firmament of the heavens to separate the day from the night; and let them be for signs and for seasons and for days and years, 15 and let them be lights in the firmament of the heavens to give light upon the earth." And it was so. 16 And God made the 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 heavens to give light upon the earth, 18 to rule over the day and over the night, and to separate the light from the darkness. And God saw that it was good.

What kind of light did God first create? What did God mean by let there be light. It must have been something else then the Sun light. God created the Sun on day three.

Please be civil folks. Argue with facts, not with snide comments.

Thanks
