No sorry, I don't see your Quandary because I haven't see proof that your literal days are the same as God's literal days.

"Their vocabulary really had nothing to do with it....nor their interpretation. As I said in an earlier post, "they were inspired".

OK. What does inspired mean in your words? Do you think they were 'just inspired' to write. I'm inspired to take a crap every day but a religion didn't spring from it. How do you interpret Shakespeare? He came along much later but I guess you know exactly what he was saying in every line of his plays.

Dispute Creation in seven literal days if you want to.

But don't say that Scripture is not clear on the subject.

Also, your definition of "Inspiration" bears no similarity to the Biblical exposition of the doctrine.

No sorry, I don't see your Quandary because I haven't see proof that your literal days are the same as God's literal days. How about the fact that he planted all the grass and herbs on the third day? He did not put sunlight on the Earth until the fourth day. Do you really think all those plants would live without sunlight for the thousands of years you seem to want each creation day to be?
