Bible Note: Hi Tim, May the Lord bless you today and everyday! In response to your question and comment. (1) Your question about Adam is a good one, although I am not sure why it would be "a key point". I actually don't know what Dr. Ross says on this issue. I suggest that you ask him. His web page at http://www.reasons.org/ includes a place for asking questions. (2) Yes, as you said, in Jewish culture the days were (and are) counted from evening to evening. This is particularly interesting because it indicates that they did not use Genesis one (evening to morning) as their model for counting days. May the Lord lead us into all truth. In Jesus' love, DaninJapan |
