It is clear that yom means an indefinite period of time. This is in conformance for God's using evolution to provide a changing life to a changing environment

With all due respect, you have demonstrated a remarkable ignorance of Hebrew grammar. You may be able to find a dictionary a cherry pick a definition from it, but that is a common fraud that evolutionists use to bully creationists.

Any time "yom" is used with a number, it always means a regular day. Anytime "yom" is used in conjuction with the word "morning", it means a regular day. Everytime "yom" is used in relation to "evening" it means a regular day. So can you take a wild guess as to what rule of grammar applies when the word "yom" appears with (1) a number, (2) morning and (3) evening as it repeatedly does in Genesis, Exodus and Deuteronomy?

Also, it appears that you are unwilling to answer the doctrinal question regarding the appearance of death in the Creation in relation to Adam. Your original post was quite insulting and immflamatory in that you categorically called Christians who reject atheistic evolution as unbelievers. Yet you can't seem to grasp how evolution attacks the very core of the gospel message.

Another question for you, not doctrinal, but indicative of your attitude towards the veracity of the Scriptures: Given that the Global Flood is described in the Genesis narrative, and the flood is declared by God to be sent to destroy all "that breathes" (save those aboard the ark), wouldn't that same catastrophy also destroy all of that so-called evidence prior to the antediluvians?

Take your time... :)

What are your credentials in Hebrew? I am quite accomplished at it. Your ideas on numbers with yom are quaint, but not held by most Hebrew scholars, just proof texting types who want to justify misinterpreting God's Word.

I think the Adam and Eve story is almost completely a story about the Spirit and not about physical life and death. Also, any tales adapted from pagan cultures like Adam and Eve and Noah are, are bound to be fraught with danger in literal interpretation.

The whole point of this thread is there is nothing about science or evolution that attacks God. Since God made evolution and science to allow our stewardship of the Earth, it is you who might be departing from God's will in your unwillingness to accept God's works. By denying God's works, aren't you denying God?
