But how do you know that the word "day" necessarily means 24 hours? If you simply accept that it just means some undetermined time period, then that passage agrees perfectly with the big bang theory.

Science actually confirms much of Genesis as long as you aren't an old curmudgeon about the timelines. Other than fundamentalists, most Christian sects pretty much accept and embrace that notion.

What makes you so sure your interpretation is the only correct one?

How many times must I remind you Ghoti that the earth itself is much older than 6000 years according to the bible. Mankind and all creatures were created 6000years ago and God made the earth habitable for His new creatures first. He created the local stars and planets (or rearranged them) at that time according to Genesis. Talk about fundies getting locked into a concept..you are just as bad.

Paulwa, if you're saying you accept the fact that the earth is much older than 6000 years, then I honestly don't remember you ever agreeing to that before. Good for you.

Genesis:1:1: In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth.
Genesis:1:2: And the earth was without form, and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters.
Genesis:1:3: And God said, Let there be light: and there was light.

There you go Ronnie, looks like the earth is ancient with no age attached to it other than a remodeling 6000 years ago when God planted a Garden eastward in Eden. And the face of the deep was dark meaning the waters of the earth and the space around our now universe.

Genesis:1:6: And God said, Let there be a firmament in the midst of the waters, and let it divide the waters from the waters.
Genesis:1:7: And God made the firmament, and divided the waters which were under the firmament from the waters which were above the firmament: and it was so.
Genesis:1:8: And God called the firmament Heaven. And the evening and the morning were the second day.
Genesis:1:9: And God said, Let the waters under the heaven be gathered together unto one place, and let the dry land appear: and it was so.
Genesis:1:10: And God called the dry land Earth; and the gathering toGenesisther of the waters called he Seas: and God saw that it was good.

Why did you say I was twisting the Bible's words when I suggested there may have been years between the "Beginning" & when God divided light from darkness?

I guess maybe we all see these scriptures a bit differently so maybe twistng might not be a good description..did I say that Flicka about you about this subject? It really doesn't matter how you view the beginning but it may matter immensely whether you atribute evilution as the means by which God created all life because it attempts to bypass Godly creation as descirbed in God's word.
