That's interesting, P-Marlowe writes things that I clearly did not say, but my post gets removed.

Augustine wrote in "The City of God" that "We must bear in mind that these days indeed recall the days of creation, but without in any way being really similar to them."

And in Confessions, Augustine writes that the lack of "evening and morning" on day 7 means they were long days.

Also, Justin Martyr, Irenaeus, Hippolytus, Clement of Alexandria, Origen, Eusebius, Basil and Ambrose all point to long days.

So again, I ask how can you claim old-earthism is not historic or that is evolutionary when it predates evolutionary theory?

Your post was removed for ignoring my demand at 113: discuss the issues all you want but do NOT make it personal.
