With all due respect, already having praised your mind, I leave you with this: your lips work much harder than do your ears.
No you weren’t hearing me....I won’t abandon the literal 7 day creation! Genesis 1 mentions it and Exodus 20 reconfirms it in the 4th commandment to keep the Sabbath day Holy. Otherwise all else about how the universe was created by God remains an open question and it may well involve aspects of Old Creationism. Whatever else is true about the Creation process for me will also involve the 7 day literal creation.
That’s where my “fine mind” ends and my faith begins! As for the glory of God as revealed in the heavens....let the knowledge of that glory “fill the earth in silence without language” as Psalm 19 states and let the “working of my lips and yours” cease as we gaze at God’s wonders!
My sense of the creation story is still in flux as I’ve had new scripture and thoughts to consider, so it’s not like I would reject anything you might state out of hand. The Spirit would have to confirm it if it even deems it necessary for me. Please at least consider that point with fairness. If you think you really know that you really know, then you could always pray that I would grasp it.
