A quick note: The duration of each of those days is not our twenty-four hour day, but more likely 1,000 years. But to a god, or God, one thousand years may pass as a mere day does for us. Smile

Says who? The Bible says the sun rose and set each day. Seems like 1 day to me. And it was 6 days....

Contextually, it may seem that way. The Bible is ripe with symbols and metaphors. I don't take everything within as literally as I once did...

6 days as our days sound right to me too. You either take the bible as a whole as it says, or not at all. You can't pick and chose, what it right for you-ERIC

Did you look? There are ahite papers all over the internet. Scientists made the discovery that in space the speed of light is not always the speed of light and/or the theory of relativity is wrong. People have been proving it wrong mathematically for years, atleast as far back as 2001.

Ho-hum.....what do you care what scientists say, anyhoo!!!!
Here is an article from NASA......

with a quote from the article, just to wet your appetite.

Scientists say that Albert Einstein's principle of the constancy of the speed of light holds up under extremely tight scrutiny

Can we go back to talking about Van Halen now?? Please??

Those who wish to talk about their God can always ask Andrew for a forum based on religion.......you never know.

This is true. But if you study it, you will know by the author and the context which is which.

The creation story was given to Moses in response to the belief's in his time, when pagan gods were being worshiped, etc. It was very specific. The whole book of Genesis is very specific, in that it lays out the foundations for the creation, the fall of man, the lineage, and who was doing what skill-wise on the earth (carpenters, musicians, farmers, etc).
It was not the first book written.

I'm glad you find that amusing Tali. I just wonder where all these people who claim to believe the Bible get their information from.

[verslibre]

I'm just surprised it was the first time some of you have heard of it. My post certainly wasn't meant to provoke or amuse, and such a concept isn't necessarily more far-fetched than "the rapture" (a concept extracted from misinterpretation of certain passages by John Nelson Darby, a nineteenth century Brit theologian). Your "people who claim to believe," etc., line definitely amuses me, though.

[Kenny]

Hey man, you're only going to provoke them further.......c'mon, this bible discussion really belongs somewhere else!
(Like, not on this board!!)

It certainly isn't the first time I've heard such nonsense, and there are a lot of far fetched notions where the Bible is concerned.

Your "people who claim to believe," etc., line definitely amuses me, though.

Happy to be able to make you smile.

I've heard of dog years but not god days.....

In Hebrew, there is only one meaning for the word "one" or "first". One is one day in scripture, not 1000 years, and the first means the first singular, not multiples. Hebrew words have three root words and are very, very specific.
