The first of the Biblical days lasted 24 hours, viewed from the "beginning of time perspective." But the duration from our perspective was 8 billion years.
The second day, from the Bible's perspective lasted 24 hours. From our perspective it lasted half of the previous day, 4 billion years.
The third day also lasted half of the previous day, 2 billion years.
The fourth day - one billion years.
The fifth day - one-half billion years.
The sixth day - one-quarter billion years.
Is this all really necessary? Point is, the Bible is a great text as to how one should live, but it's not scientific. That's a basic summation. Stop trying to conform the Bible to science, and realize that when the Bible was written, that man didn't know what they know now. The Bible is a moral text. Not a scientific one.
Actually, It looks more like they're trying to make science conform to the Bible.
So...do YOU live by the text you claim is great?
Or was that like saying that Kwanzaa is a great holiday?
