And I read Genesis, and see no conflict of the above therewith.

I believe in the bible and very little else, but the Bible itself does not say that god did every thing in six literal days, it plainly says generations.

It is too bad that people who are literalists are not literalists on things that are easy to understand but on the things that seem impossible.

2 peter 3
8 But, beloved, be not ignorant of this one thing, that one day is with the Lord as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day.

Why don`t they take this scripture literal?

[ctdonath2]

Bingo. And they keep overlooking the text asserting that for the first few “days” there was nothing constituting a “day”.

.
we do take it literally; that is Peter’s prophecy that the Earth would be here seven 1000 year days, from creation to the end.
