"Day" in Hebrew often means an unspecified period of time. Second, the original storyteller used words like "Adam" meaning mankind as a whole. Same for "Eve" meaning mother. Along the way they became two individuals when the story was most likely the history of an entire nation.Hebrew isn't the original, but you might have a point that you're not making clear.
There's really nothing that can make creationist myths reconcilable against evolution.
The question needs to be addressed even moreso now than earlier when we may not have known enough facts. Like for example 200 years ago.
Great! I've been able to con you into confessing that your silly bibles are nonsense babble and not anything to do with what 'literally' happened."Day" in Hebrew often means an unspecified period of time.

Now you're just going to have the 'real' believers kicking your a-- down the street marty.
You should have just went away to play.
Do you subscribe to the story of the Ark being a spaceship from another planet?
Maybe Mars? It sorta works in a way doesn't it!
Actually, what has happened is that you are finally listening to the people who didn't take Anglican Bishop Ushher seriously when he decided that "Day" meant a 24 hour period and that "generation" was merely a single step in the genealogy as we know it today. This news didn't magically appear the other day. It has been around for some time.Great! I've been able to con you into confessing that your silly bibles are nonsense babble and not anything to do with what 'literally' happened.
Unlikely. Speaking of generations, it has been about that for those of the Catholic faith. No one cares who believes in evolution and who believes in a one day creation. Our faith has greater issues.Now you're just going to have the 'real' believers kicking your a-- down the street marty.
Let's not be ridiculous. Again, 'earth' was a mistranslated word: A word meaning ground (the earth in a field) to the entire planet. Further (other than those of the Jewish faith) most haven't a clue as to the lesson the story teaches. And it had nothing to do with outer space, it had to do with problems mankind still faces today.Do you subscribe to the story of the Ark being a spaceship from another planet?

I know, and the 'great rapture' up into the clouds only meant 'intermission time' for a big drink and popcorn.Let's not be ridiculous.

The greater issues involve knowing God, loving our fellow man, and living this life to the fullest. Evolution-Creation don't even make the list of vital issues between God and His people.A little hard to imagine the 'greater' issue than creating the whole earth in one day
Yeah, the brainstorm of some minister in the late 1800s--another example of someone who studies the King James English and ignores the languages and cultures of Biblical times.the 'great rapture' up into the clouds
You're living a life of denial, but the line you're peddling is at least amusing.Yeah, the brainstorm of some minister in the late 1800s--another example of someone who studies the King James English and ignores the languages and cultures of Biblical times.
Listen, all the issues you brought up are why many leave religion. Those who stay have escaped the entanglement of brainstorms who lived fifteen hundred to a thousand years after Christ and the Apostles. Many who leave got hung up on the errors of those who lived in the 1700-1800s uttered--and what does not ultimately matter. Those who stay stay centered and listen to Christ and the Apostles (or God and Moses), ignoring the brainstorms that came centuries later. We are living lives centered on God, His laws and teachings. We remain.
Tell me more! You seem to be pushing Deism.The greater issues involve knowing God, loving our fellow man, and living this life to the fullest. Evolution-Creation don't even make the list of vital issues between God and His people.
Has it dawned on you that God does not exist?I’ve known for many years that the Church in America has fallen to the lowest spiritual state of its entire existence. I’ve tried to warn Christians in both this column and my public speaking to the dismal state of today’s churches. Faithful readers are very much aware of those warnings.
But now, studied research confirms all I have warned about over the past several decades, and it’s actually worse than I thought: The American Church is not just derelict; it is apostate.
Researcher George Barna and the Cultural Research Center at Arizona Christian University have released Barna’s latest survey, and the findings are horrific.
According to Barna’s research,
Today, 176 million Americans claim to be Christians—69% of the population. Yet, only 6% of U.S. adults—which is 9% of those identifying as Christians—possess a biblical worldview, believing the Bible to be accurate and reliable, among other convictions.
“Two out of three Americans think of themselves as a Christian, and a majority still think that Christianity is kind of about the Bible,” Barna said in an interview at the time. “But there’s a big gap between what (self-identified Christians) believe the Bible may teach, and what the Bible actually teaches.”
It’s Official: American Christianity Is Apostate
Editor's Note: We would like to make it clear that the Russian Faith team is flatly opposed to the pan-heresy of Ecumenism, rejecting any common prayer and union with heretics, be they Catholic, Protestant, Oriental Orthodox etc., in accordance with the teaching of the Orthodox Church and its...russian-faith.com
As predicted.
Catholics follow Apostolic teachings--and we get hammered because we follow Biblical Tradition. I am guessing you are in the realm of non-Catholic Christianity. The only time I see such things being discussed is online. It is not part of the Mass, of Bible Studies, of Catholic social help/activities. And...Catholics are a majority not a minority.Are you suggesting that you're not in a small minority, because I've never heard these excuses before?
Hardly. I believe God is deeply involved in our lives.You seem to be pushing Deism.
Yes, I know what you believe and it's not a literal belief in your bible and therefore must not be a belief in the God or the Jesus that's portrayed in the bible.Hardly. I believe God is deeply involved in our lives.
I'm not in any Christian realm, I'm an atheist What are you?Catholics follow Apostolic teachings--and we get hammered because we follow Biblical Tradition.

Did you get your "literal" belief in the Bible from your own understanding of modern English, Western History, and our own culture? Because my own belief in God and Jesus comes from the ancient histories, cultures, and languages of the Bible.Yes, I know what you believe and it's not a literal belief in your bible and therefore must not be a belief in the God or the Jesus that's portrayed in the bible.
I am well informed of the definition of deism. My statement remains. God is deeply involved in our lives--or as much as we wish or permit Him to be.Deism seems to describe your compromised beliefs quite well.
You've told me that you have abandoned the mainstream beliefs of Christianity and so the closest description of your belief is 'Deism'.I am well informed of the definition of deism. My statement remains. God is deeply involved in our lives--or as much as we wish or permit Him to be.
