No, Eric, the time of day is based on the Sun. Not the other way round.
The day of the month was based on the moon. Originally.
Those are human creations like your Bible.
You’d be better off asking why women’s cycle is synchronous with the moon, as they are both natural processes.
Well, Eric, it's almost like there's this species of higher primate capable of environmental observation and abstract conceptualization, who noticed that certain events seem to occur in conjunction with certain stellar or astronomical phenomena. The sun doesn't tell time, this species of smart chimp figured out how to tell time using the sun. The moon doesn't measure months, because months aren't real. The smart chimps figured out how to measure the distance of time between lunar cycles, and decided that was what a ‘month’ was.
I recommend finding one of these smart chimps - they call themselves, “humans,” by the way - and learning from them. A meaningless endeavor, I know, but it keeps you busy and away from anything that might facilitate you interacting with the world. We got enough problems without being reminded that Kent opted not to shoplift that box of condoms all those years ago, to make it so much worse.
Just to add to my last comment…ya know, the Chinese have a lunar calendar, don’t they? Chinese New Year is on a different date on our Gregorian calendar every year. (apparently, we’re in the “year of the Dragon” now, which I gotta say, sounds awesome!) And then of course, there’s the whole thing about the Julian vs the Gregorian calendars, and how it caused a big ol stink when Great Britain adopted the Gregorian one in 1752 and thereby had to skip 11 days! If you think the twice-a-year clock change because of Daylight Savings Time is weird, just imagine waking up and you’re suddenly in the middle of next week, lol.
…You- you can’t be this stupid. You just can’t.
Oh, who am I kidding, it’s Eric Hovind. Somehow he manages to find a way.
“How does a random explosion
“The Sun tells the time of day”
“The Moon tells the day of the month”
“The stars tell the month of the year”
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
