Bible Question: Is there any biblical evidence to say when "In the beginning" actually was? |
Bible Answer: Shiner, Our brothers gave the right answer - we do not know. I choose to think each creation day was 24 hours. The word day can mean that or a period of time. But, whenever "day and evening" are used, it always means 24 hours. But, I'm not sure if there is a period of time between Gen 1:2 and verse three. If so, the age of the earth could be anything.
