<< The Genesis account of Creation is a beautiful allegory, and I have no problems with it as long as the "days" mentioned in English translations represent unspecified periods of time. >>

Unspecified time like thousands or millions of years?

So plants existed for thousands or millions of years before the sun was made? And lasted all that time without insects to do the pollination?

Are we supposed to work for six thousand (or million years), and then rest for 1,000 years before we go to work again Monday morning? The creation week was compared directly to our work week.

You certainly are free to believe whatever you wish. As I have stated before, a belief in either Creationism or Evolution is NOT a point of salvation. As for me, I'll continue to opine that the Universe is over 15 billion years old, and that Natural Selection was, is, and will continue to be the driving force behind the diversity of life we enjoy.

As I said before, I believe the Creation Myth to be allegory, just as sections of the Book of Revelation are considered to be symbolic.
