I'm trying to think of what word you might search for: Just brainstorming:
creation
Adam and Eve
account
story
Genesis
God's plan for man
My brain just dried up.
Actually, I don't think it was in reference to Adam and Eve, but rather merely to the millennia it took for the mountains to be built, etc. I looked up milllennia, ages, etc. The interesting thing about the quote was that it even teased towards a notion of evolution of organisms, albeit not necessarily anything resembling Darwinism. I learned about in college, but cannot find it now.
So I'll just ask that if anyone reading this knows to what I refer, please post it.
