I do not reject the theology of Genesis and it should have been plain in our past dealings.

"Theology of Genesis" translates as "the spiritual lesson those fairy tales are actually teaching."

I wonder what the fairy tales about J*sus' being born of a virgin and rising from the dead are actually teaching? You surely don't claim that some miracles are more unlikely than others, do you?

Yep, I'm sure G-d has a special place prepared in that "hell" of yours for those awful people who believe He actually created the Heavens and Earth in six days. After all, they scandalized all those scientists and intellectuals whose souls are so much more precious to G-d than those of simple people!

Translates to whom? Not to me.

I’ll give you the example of the figure skater who when she tucks her arms in spins at a much faster rate.

The primordial earth was much larger than it currently is. When it did come together (let’s assume that the orbit was stable and consistent), then it may have taken a billion years to revolve once (the first day). As it started to contract (remember the figure skater), the speed of rotation increased. The second day may have been 500 million years. The third 250 million years and so on. No violation of Genesis. Have you a reply regarding the length of each day?

Define the length of each of those first six days.
