More Genesis metaphors? (Not simply “day”, but also parts of what we refer to as a day)?:
1:5 “...and there was evening and morning one day.”
1:8 “...and the evening and morning were the second day.”
1:13: “And the evening and the morning were the third day.”
1:19: “And the evening and morning were the fourth day.”
1:23: “And the evening and morning were the fifth day.”
1:31: “And the evening and morning were the sixth day.”

The word translated as ‘day’ by the KJ guys, actually refers to an indefinite period of time. Could be a day, days, weeks, years, millennia or more.

Questions on the Day of Judgment:

If you were dead certain that I caused every word from Genesis 12 through the last word of Revelation to be exactly what I wanted it to be, why did you conclude that my comments on Genesis 1 to 11 were fuzzy?

Or, vice versa.

The Bible is either all fuzzy or all not-fuzzy.

I, myself, testified that “in the beginning, God MADE them (not evolved them) male and female.” My testimony in the undeniably true part of the Bible told you that I undeniably created them. Or, did you think I was being deceitful?

And, I even made sure that the word chosen as “day” in Genesis 1-3 was the same word later correctly understood to be a 24 hour day. This implied that the days of creation were 24 hour days.

On a related subject, are fossils easy to make or hard to make? If hard, why do we have so many of them. If easy, why don’t we find incremental skeletal fossils of animals as they evolved over the ages, say, little horse to big horse?

If we strictly follow the method of science and our theory is based ONLY on our observations, and our observation is that these intermediate incremental skeletal fossils are absent, then the ONLY SCIENTIFIC theory fitting these data is Evolution.Did.Not.Happen.

That would make the current theory a sham. Okay, not a sham, but a religion with a faith based on no evidence to clearly show that one species incrementally evolved to another species. And with so many incredibly close “species” what would constitute the definition of a species, anyway.
