Quix:Evidently ‘days’ spent there can equal minutes here or some such.

Veto!:
Oh goodie! That blows Genesis out of the water, at least the “6 days are 6 days” version. Why not a billion-year day? NOT sarcasm.

Those assumptions are not mine.

Doesn’t alter Genesis at all. We do NOT know precisely in exhaustive terms what “a day is as a thousand years” to The Lord means . . . It could mean a list of things—some mutually exclusive and some not.

The reports that indicate that Heaven’s timeline is not the same as ours could also mean a list of things—most to all of which would not indicate any altering of Genesis at all.

It may even be that time is something that God can adjust as we’d adjust our watches or the afghan on the sofa.

We just don’t know. Speculations can be fun but aren’t to be treated as foundations for anything of any import or substance.

Thank you for the ping and for sharing your insights!

For more on how six days from the inception space/time coordinates is some fifteen billion years from our space/time coordinates based on relativity and inflationary theory, here is an article by Jewish physicist Gerald Schroeder:
