If anywhere in the Bible it clarified that the entire universe is only a few thousand years old, and that all types of animals were created within an exact six day span; I would NOT believe it. Luckily for those of us Christians who use reason, the Bible demands no such adherence to such an idiotic cosmological model.

God says HE teaches using parable. The Bible says that a day to the Lord is as a thousand years, and a thousand years a day. The parable of creation is that God didn't just snap fingers and “zot” the world into creation; neither was it the work of a lifetime. God rolled up sleeves, worked the equivalent of a man working six days, then rested for a “yom”.

What does “morning” and “evening” mean on a day without a Sun anyway? Why would a “yom” without a Sun be 24 hours? What is a “day” when there is no Sun?

...an exact six day span; I would NOT believe it....The parable of creation is that God didn't just snap fingers and “zot” the world into creation; neither was it the work of a lifetime....God rolled up sleeves, worked the equivalent of a man working six days, then rested for a “yom”."

And you have just agreed that God worked a six day span. And you have presented it as if you need to affirm the six days of creation and the one day of work.

So...which is it? Is it idiotic or is it what you believe?
