For those Christians who think God really created the earth in 6 days because it says so in the bible, please read carefully the words of Jesus:

Matthew 16:6-12
"Be careful," Jesus said to them. "Be on your guard against the yeast of the Pharisees and Sadducees." They discussed this among themselves and said, "It is because we didn't bring any bread." Aware of their discussion, Jesus asked, "You of little faith, why are you talking among yourselves about having no bread? Do you still not understand? Don't you remember the five loaves for the five thousand, and how many basketfuls you gathered? Or the seven loaves for the four thousand, and how many basketfuls you gathered? How is it you don't understand that I was not talking to you about bread? But be on your guard against the yeast of the Pharisees and Sadducees." Then they understood that he was not telling them to guard against the yeast used in bread, but against the teaching of the Pharisees and Sadducees.

God/Jesus speaks to us in parables. The bible is filled with them. So why are you so hung up on believing in 6 literal days when all of science proves you wrong? Why are you talking among yourselves about having no bread? See beyond the words printed in the bible to the important CONCEPTS that lie there.

What concepts? That you are more intelligent than the God who created the heavens and the earth and everything in them? Sorry, I could not find that anywhere in the Bible. Jesus spoke to the disciples in parables. They did not see the big picture because not everything had been fulfilled. We have seen everything fulfilled in His Holy Word. He does not speak to us in parables, He speaks to us thru his written Word. Beware: Revelations 22:19 If anyone takes away from the words of the book of this prophecy, may God take away his part from the tree of life, and out of the holy city, which are written in this book.
