They didn't say evolution was in the Bible, they said it didn't contradict the Bible.... who was the idiot in charge of the headline?

Ex 20:11 -
" For in six days the LORD made the heavens and the earth, the sea and all that is in them, and rested on the seventh day; therefore the LORD blessed the sabbath day and made it holy.

How much clearer could it be?

"Ex 20:11 -
" For in six days the LORD made the heavens and the earth, the sea and all that is in them, and rested on the seventh day; therefore the LORD blessed the sabbath day and made it holy. "




Yes, so it is written. And before it was written, it was the answer to the question of a child, no doubt. "Moses, why do we rest every seventh day?"

Simple explanations for simple folks. Symbolism as truth. The Sabbath is not diminished by this. 7 days is 1/4 of the time it takes for the moon to pass through all its phases. It's a small number. Folks who were nomadic shepherds couldn't comprehend larger numbers at that time.

Yet, they needed rest. They also worshipped on a regular basis. What's more neat than 7 days, something that relates to the phases of the moon?

And so it is written.
