You either believe God or you do not? If God can bring a man back to life, why would you think He is so small He cannot create the Universe in 7 days and make it look like millions or billions.

If God created Eve from Adam and an adult as He did Adam, then why can He not do all the other miracles?

Show where in the Word God was wrong?

Show me where it says He didn’t do as He did. Show me one thing in the Scriptures that you question, and I will prove it true.

He could. He may have, or he may not have. The thing is, the six “days” begin with Genesis 1:3. How much time passed between the end of verse 2 and the beginning of verse 3? It doesn’t say.

So often, we base some of our most “strong” beliefs on us reading between the lines and finding things there that are not in the words themselves. The more I read the word, the more I endeavor to not do that. I carefully look at what is there, compare it to context, and then determine what I believe God is trying to tell me.

And it is important to not take it too literally or you can get yourself into trouble. The easiest example I can think of is by simply asking this question: Did the rooster crow once, or twice. One gospel says twice. The rest say once.

If you get hung up trying to argue that point, you miss the message that Jesus was trying to get across, which was this: you say you won’t deny me, but you will, and you will do it vehemently, before the day’s barely begun.

It’s not about roosters.

And genesis 1 is not about how many days it took.
