Bible Note: Justme I guess the answer again lies in the first chapter of Genesis. Gen 1:5 says God made light and darkness and called the light day and the darkness night that was the first day. I believe the first secular proof of man keeping time goes back to the Sumerians. They are known to have tracked the stars and seasons and they also accounted for time. Time was surely accounted for before that, but since we haven't found any form of evidence to prove that, we have to go with what we have. Their civilization was before the time of Abraham and about 5000 years old. EdB |
