No. Genesis 1:1 is a declaration... no date or ‘time’ is associated with the when the beginning was or how long from the creation of the heavens and the earth until the devil rebelled. That is Genesis 1:2, describing the rebellion of the devil, whose position of being “anointed cherub that covereth; and I have set thee so; thou wast upon the holy mountain of God; thou hast walked up and down in the midst of the stones of fire...... Ezekiel 28:14

The devil was sentenced to death, he is the only named entity that has already received that judgment.

Actually, there are ‘8’ days of creation. God rested the 7th day, and then there was no man to till the ground... Genesis 2:5.... Does not know history record, that agriculture was not common until after the ‘hunter gatherers’ age?

You are rewriting reality. It clearly states that man was created on the 6th day.

There are many many people who do believe that the earth was created in 6 days. They interpret it literally. All of this argument and disagreement among Christians kind of makes my point that the bible is not the word of God. Would the word of God need to be interpreted and argued about every which way from Sunday? No if God is rational and wants us to know the truth then his word would be clear and unambiguous. The reader would not have to go and study numerous translations and the original works in Hebrew and study styles of ancient writing to determine if something is poetry or allegory or a historical account.

If you are coming from a position of faith then the base of your knowledge is belief. A belief or a feeling is not a means of cognition. It’s subjective. To start from an arbitrary claim taken on faith is irrational.

If you are rational then your knowledge must start from Existence exists as an axiom. An axiom is a self evident truth that can not be broken down further. It is a primary and an absolute. It can’t be questioned, it must be either accepted or rejected. A belief in an arbitrary claim or a feeling or an intuition is not an axiom. It can be questioned and must be questioned before it can be considered knowledge.

So you can quote scripture and tell me I don’t know what it really says or I haven’t studied it in the Original Language but the fact remains that all of it is made up of arbitrary claims and the argument for it consists of “prove it is not so”.

You are rewriting reality. It clearly states that man was created on the 6th day.

I did not write or rewrite anything. I never said that male and female were not created on the 6th day. Obviously they were else how could Genesis 2:4 state "These are THE GENERATIONS OF THE HEAVENS AND OF THE EARTH (caps are not mine) when they were created, in the *day* that the LORD God made the earth and the heavens,

5 (A very long verse) And every plant of the field before it was in the earth, and every herb of the field before it grew:

for the LORD God had not cause it to rain upon the earth, AND (my caps) there was NOT (my caps) a man to till the ground.

I did not write this nor am I rewriting anything. DNA all on its own demonstrates that not all flesh can come from only two people. People who claim that the literal WORD conflicts with the literal discovered evidence are out to lunch!

And you have the God given right to believe whatever you choose. But God is not the fault or the problem, flesh beings are when they ignore what is literally written.

The truth and the literal evidence and/or FACTS do not bother me... I was raised in a religion of what the hierarchy of a denomination said God said... Now if those dinos roamed this earth during Noah's time then Noah would have made room for them on that ark. The ark was not about destroying the animals, but those that polluted all but Noah's pedigree, since the Adam's bloodline, was predestined to be that to the birth of Christ. And I did not write that nor am I attempting to rewrite anything.

This earth is filled with all manner of evidence that something catastrophic happened long ago on this earth. Finds of that 'age' that was are everywhere. So Christ said in Mark 13:23 But take ye heed: behold, I have foretold you all things.

That by necessity would include a 6,000 year old earth. Christ and Paul point to the overthrow - casting down of the old dragon before man/soul/spirit was placed in flesh bodies... Some scribe along the way used the phrase 'foundation of this world'. It takes far more faith to accept either evolution or a young earth than to find the instruction planted throughout the WORD is rational.

Because of 6,000 year old earth claims, alll peoples came from only two people, evolution, and, and, and, and, I too twenty plus years ago consider the Bible to have become the translation of men for the purpose to cause unbelief. As I said above you have the God given right to choose whatever you choose to believe. But you have no credibility claiming God elected any of His holy prophets to write down this earth is a mere 6,000 years.
