How would anyone know creation took place where the holy land is on earth? He sits above the circle of the earth sounds like a location. Lacking any biblical evidence, any source, any verification, to change a day to allow a man's theory to be justified...is not justified And Again the 7 day cycle was carried forward specifically by God that we should rest on the seventh day. And while it is not decisive it is more than verification than the theory that in creation were incredibly long Also in Mark 10 Jesus says that Adam and Ever were in the beginning with God. It is MY OPINION that 4.5 billion years later hardly qualifies The bottom line if we have no biblical authority to say that God meant something else, (Metaphors and Parables not withstanding) then we must accept it as God has given it to us. As He CHOSE to give it to us 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As He CHOSE to give it to us Your right about that it could of been 12 minutes that constituted a day who knows really:) the rest part yea humans can not work 7 seven days week after week for ever. God is the one who is always at work. could start at when it is instructed to use the lights in the expanse to start counting but the first couple days there is no lights in the expanse and the command is not given until then so it can’t imply the same length.

God made man special. "They?" We are animals. But that's not all we are. That's a story the professional creationists tell, but there's nothing at all in evolutionary theory that denies God directly giving us a living soul. It's disheartening to hear that kind of falsehood, so often peddled by creationist leaders. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Day is a definable period of time. We use hours, if you were locked in a dark room for 6 months, 180 days will have passed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a Biblical one. God made them after the flood, as you can see. Psalm 104: 6-9 (NLT) You clothed the earth with floods of water, water that covered even the mountains. 7 At your command, the water fled; at the sound of your thunder, it hurried away. 8 Mountains rose and valleys sank to the levels you decreed. 9 Then you set a firm boundary for the seas, so they would never again cover the earth.

If humans increased in structure, so would have animals. Might explain how Noah got them all on a boat. They were much smaller then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

People were still pretty small even 200 years ago. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
