I think that the first thing to consider when thinking about this very important question is to consider that if God was able to perform great miracles like the 10 plagues of Egypt, or the parting of the Red Sea and most importantly the advent of Jesus Christ as God with all the attendant proof that He is God, then there is no reason not to believe that God created the earth in 6 literal 24 hour days. Secondly, the word for day is Yom in Hebrew and refers in most instances to literal 24 hour periods as in Exodus 20:8 where Moses uses the word Yom as a literal 24 hour period (he never intended that the Sabbath was an extremely long day of a thousand years or so, he meant 24 hours and was referring to creaiton when he used the word Yom). Thirdly the verse in II Peter 3:8; there has been gross eisegesis by those who see this as one day being as a thousand years to God as referring to creation. The verse is specifically referring to God being long suffering to those who are perishing, down in verse 9, as that His long suffering is such that one day is as a thousand years, not that one day is a thousand years. When plain sense makes good sense seek no other sense, use this as a barometer when trying to figure out numbers in the Bible... It will yeild a basis for sound exegesis. The earth was created in six days, and God rested on the seventh, its just a miracle. | ||||||
