Bible Question: creation,was it seven actual days or millions of years? |
Bible Answer: Hello jacobp, Gen. 2:2 reads, "By the seventh day God completed His work which He had done, and He rested on the seventh day from all His work which He had done." (NASB) I believe scripture to be quite literal in It's account of creation being 7 days. "The word "day" may refer to a prolonged period when used without any qualifying words. But when qualified with a numerical, it is defined and limited by it to a day of 24 hours. In 1:5 it is further limited here by it;s boundaries "evening and morning" as well as by the 7th day." [The Companion Bible] "Theistic evolution" is not taught nor supported by scripture. I hope this helps, BradK |
