the one hand, I think yup. On the other hand, I think God gets to define his Own “day” however he wants to. For example, His “day” may mean “how long I decided to spend on this task.”
Also, in His realm (which is outside of ours), a day there may be millions or billions of days here.
If you can't believe Genesis the way God told it, then there is no reason for me to cite the bible. I DO believe Genesis the way it is written which is why there is no room for life on other planets per the bible for me.
PS. I used to be into astronomy from an atheist perspective and evolution and Carl Sagan materialism were my religion. After getting saved all of that went away.
With the Lord a day is like a thousand years, and a thousand years are like a day. 2 Pe 3:8
Note that Peter is carefully using a simile here (’like a’), not that it literally is.
BTW, I agree with you. I also believe in Genesis ‘the way God told it’. That was well phrased.
But we need to be careful not to second guess how He did it. “Who has known the mind of the Lord so as to instruct him?” 1 Cor 2:16.
Look at IC 1101. Isn’t is amazing? And it’s just a dot compared to the Lord! So just revel in the majesty of His creation and marvel in wonder of His plan for us.
Yeah, there is. What point is there in educating those who already know?
I’m open to learning.
He saved the sinners, not the saints. (Ok, maybe they needed saving too, but they were closer to getting it right.)
I’d like to learn and admit that you might have superior knowledge and faith.
