I have a problem with a literal interpretiation of the bible given the number of translations its been through.

Uh, hello. The old testament went from Hebrew directly to every other language on the planet. If you have questions about the translation you read, the original language is still there to check. The original language belies the falsehoods propagated in a number of translations. If you know the history of the Bible, you'll know that the KJV is about the best, most accurate going. But you still have access to the original texts. So, I'm not sure what you are arguing or what you think you are arguing. The Hebrew is quite explicit in it's meaning - leaving no room to interpret "The first day" as anything more than the very first 24 hour day. No wiggle room. If you decide to call God a liar, what you believe after that is irrelevant. You're just another anti-God heathen who has chosen a path to hell once you start blaspheming God and his word. Plain and simple. God created the animals - including dinosaurs as we've decided to call them recently - in six days. Furthermore, he created one of each of them seperately in Eden for Adam to name. That's in Genesis 2. So you can choose to believe God is a liar or that he is truthful in what he saw to it was put in his word. You will be responsible for blasphemy if you choose to call him a liar by believing evolution just as adam and eve were held responsible for believing satan over God in eden. You can blow sunshine at God while calling him a liar and seem to find no issue in that. So, I have a hard time believing you're christian if that is your claim. Just be careful not to teach that stuff to anyone else.. bad enough being judged for blaspheming God.. I wouldn't want to see you judged a false teacher as well - really nasty stuff in store for them.. This ain't a game.

You cannot prove your theory based upon the original Hebrew and I would dare say there are a few posting know very well this to be true, but some things have been hidden since the beginning.

You have read Paul's writing now haven't you?

Pop test: how old are the oldest existing scriptural documents. Feel free to be specific.

God gave me a brain and the power of reason. I wont dishonor Him by not using it. Call me a heathon all you want. I journey to the pearly gates with my head held high. Do you really believe that god created the dinosaurs at the same time he created man? God gave us our brains, and the ability to find science so that one day we may use this knowledge to discover all his wisdom, from the bottom of the oceans, to the top of the mountains, to fly higher than the birds, to walk on the moon, to cure diseases, to look back into time itself through the wonder of the stars, to test us with powers our ancestors would not even have been able to imagine. To deny the advancement of science is to deny man the gifts of God Himself.
