Yeah, and certain creationists thought that having the definite article in front of the English "day" meant that yom meant a 24 hour day, until someone pointed out to them that the Hebrew does not contain the definite article in any of the 6 days of creation.

Of course, it is doubtful whether that pertinent piece of information has changed certain creationists "mind" about their particular misinterpretation of God's Word. And for some reason certain creationists disappeared from the thread and never again mentioned the glaring error.

Of course, that is only a theory.

Doesn't matter. The Bible reiterates Morning and Night. That article can be missing all it wants, you don't get a super long eon, morning and night.

What's more evolution as it has been presented to us, includes man. The Bible says God created woman from Adam's rib. So how do you reconcile that with evolution?

It says each animal was created from the ground after it's own kind. I suppose that is subject to interpretation, but it's at best an extremely awkward way of saying "each animal was modified from the other animals"?

Have you looked at a Hebrew Bible, or do you just pick these tidbits from a parallel universe?
