    They obviously did not know it. Which is perhaps why that never actually made such a claim. The bible simply asserts that light and matter were create by God (and that light was created first). It never says that God used light to create matter.

    In fact, you are the only making that claim. And you clearly made it after reading about the experiment. So, there, mystery solved, I guess.

    Also, the word light is often used to symbolize ‘truth’, ‘knowledge’, ‘guidance’, ’ enlightenment’ … “God is the source of all truth and only through Him may man find enlightenment”. This is what John 1:4 is refering to. It has nothing to do with physical light.

    Nope. In portuguese we do not call the toes “fingers of the feet”. In fact we do not have a word for fingers. Or toes.

    What we have instead is a word for those little appendages that one can find at the end of one’s arms or legs. We call them “dedos”. Most of the time we do not feel the need to specify if we are talking about fingers or toes. Context is usually enough to distinguish between the two. But when do have to be specific, we call the fingers “dedos of the hands” and the toes “dedos of the feet”.

    Now, that may seem weird to some, but to me what is really surprising is that some languages found it necessary to use two words to describe what is essentially the same fucking shit.
