"Evolution is in compliance with what the Bible states (not the other way around. Who among us can state what a day is to God. Are you that presumptuous?"

"Every word of God is pure; He is a shield to those who put their trust in Him. Do not add to His words, lest He rebuke you, and you be found a liar." Proverbs 30:5-6

"In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God, He was in the beginning with God. All things were made through Him, and without Him nothing was made that was made. In Him was life, and the life was the light of men. And the light shines in the darkness and the darkness did not comprehend it." John 1:1

"God created the heavens and the earth...

God called the light Day, and the darkness He called Night. So the evening and the morning were the FIRST DAY.

And God called the firmament Heaven. So the evening and the morning were the SECOND DAY.

And the earth brought forth grass, the herb that yields seed according to its kind, and the tree that yields fruit, whose seed is in itself according to its kind. And God saw that it was good. So the evening and the morning were the THIRD DAY.

Then God said, "Let there be lights in the firmament of the heavens... So the evening and the morning were the FOURTH DAY.

Then God said, "Let the waters abound with an abundance of living creatures, and let the birds fly above the earth across the face of the firmament of the heavens."... So the evening and the morning were the FIFTH DAY.

Then God said, "Let the earth bring forth the living creature according to its kind...And God made the beast of the earth according to its kind, cattle according to its kind, and everything that creeps on the earth according to its kind...

Then God said, "So let Us make man in Our image, according to Our likeness; let him have dominion over the fish of the sea, over the birds of the air, and over the cattle, over all the earth and over every creeping thing that creeps on the earth. So God created man in His own image; in the image of God He created them; male and female...So the evening and the morning were the SIXTH DAY.

And on the SEVENTH DAY God ended His work which He had done..."

Note: On each day God created life "according to its own kind." Meaning that each living plant, tree, fish, bird, creeping thing, beast, cattle, and man was created in its mature form. Life did not transform from one thing to another.

"...in eternal hope with eternal life which God, who cannot lie..." Titus 1:2

So, Soltice, to God a day is a day, not a period of years. The lie of evolution is not contained within the Bible and the Bible does not support it.

"For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine, but according to their own desires, because they have itching ears, they will heap up for themselves teachers; and they will turn their ears away from the truth and be turned aside to fables." 2 Timothy 4:3-4

Sz, one can stay literal if one likes, but the revolving objects and the lights in the firmaments in the heavens were fourth day, and how fast did this revolve.

I have no problem with any of Genesis, but to deny the grandness of His Creation by insisting on such an insignificant concept as the translation of an astronomical phenomenon as a current earth day, strikes against the fact that all of scientists are studying the Works of God, and some of them do not realize it because they can not get past this "barrier".

The marvel is not only existence, but the mechanism he created to accomplish it. "New earth" is a denial of His work,not a defense of the Word.

Well, one cannot know the Word except through the Spirit anyway.

Other word issues: "Righteousness" is Justicia in the Vulgate. Latin did not have a better concept for "right-standing before God". And even the NIV spanish keeps justicia. Totally different concept.

And I am not saying any of this in relation to you personally, because I do not know.
