But God refers to LITERAL days, as has been demonstrated. Figurative "days" only come from OUTSIDE the Bible in terms of Creation.
I'll just have to agree that you're wrong on this point. Hopefully you will open your eyes to the truth. Jesus taught Genesis as accurate and literal -- I see no reason for us to create some fanciful explanation when the explanation God provides is perfect and fits all the evidence. There is NO evidence supporting old earth ideas -- there are only theories that first reject Christianity and then create a "logical" timeline.
You clearly need more study.
You have to agree that i'm wrong? huh? doesnt "agree" normally entail two or more people coming to the same conclusion on a given subject?
And in truth, Jesus simply taught. He did not to my knowledge say "the Word is literal about the Creation of Man." He did, however make many parables that came from a blend of Eastern and Socratic teachings.
There is NO evidence supporting old earth ideas -- there are only theories that first reject Christianity and then create a "logical" timeline.
Im sorry, but the idea of an old earth came from Darwin's teachings of evolution. Darwin was a devout Christian from my understanding. Along the lines of Karl Marx wasnt a Marxist (in his own words)
My study is on going, but I feel it is far more than yours. You see, i have this habit of researchign things when my ideas come to question. My original idea was as yours. I researched. It is now changed to what it is based on an honest search for truth.
