Why is not the Sabbath closed out like the others?
These and other indications in the text clearly point to something other than normal days.
Why the Days are NOT 24hr Days And no one is saying don't study the 24 hr interpretation, it just seems many young-earthers don't want discussion of anything but their own theory!
I had some plants outside that I had picked up from my mother in N. Carolina and transported to Ohio.
They've just been sitting around unplanted, and they've been that way for more than 24 hours.
The order of the creation has absolutely nothing to do with whether or not the straight-forward reading of the text gives the impression that it was talking about 24 hours.
"The dog bit the mailman."
I can theorize all I want about what a dog might or might not represent, but the straight-forward reading of that sentence says, "dog" and "mailman" and "biting."
