So.. tell us all if you also believe that a seven headed beast with 10 horns will rise from the ocean to destroy the earth... It is ‘literal’ after all.... isn’t it?

I really don't have a dog in this fight but your argument is a strawman. Proponents of the particular views on the Genesis account (24-hour-days vs. epochs) would insist that they are reading Scripture naturally (as it was intended to be read) as opposed to literally. The dispute comes down to what Moses meant by "days" in the Genesis account. Both sides would recognize that the seven-headed beast with 10 horns is figurative language.

No.. GGG has stated unequivocally that genesis requires and absolute 24 hour day literal interpretation.

One can’t have it both ways.

Thank you for trying, but it’s falling on deaf ears.

One of the biggest lies going purported by the evolutionists is that since creationists believe that the Genesis account is real and true, that creationists then go on to demand that the whole Bible be read *literally* without regard to style or content or context.

Evolutionists then go on to claim that creationists look bad for taking a stand on Biblical literalness that nobody believes.

The only reason creationists *look bad* is because they are being lied about by the evolutionists who wish to discredit Christians in general and creationists in particular.

Nobody would think that anyone demands an completely literal reading of the entire Bible if it weren’t for this evolutionist mythology that they keep spreading.

It’s very revealing that they have to go to such great lengths and lies to discredit creation. You’d think that if evolution were such a slam dunk, that it would stand on its own and creation would go the way of alchemy.

And since everyone believed Day meant Day until Darwin came around, I’ll go with Day meaning Day and not try to fit Genesis into a flimsy, ridiculous, scientific theory.
