Hello Mr. Silver.... Thanks for your tone.
I say, whether God took one of His 'Days' a thousand years say.... or one of our 'Days' 24-hours...it destroys nothing of the fact that in the Beginning God created the Heaven and the Earth and Made them in 6 days.... and whether it was instantaneous or a long process that God chose to use is not the real issue.... The issue is, did God do it or did it just happen by chance...
Of course we know the answer to the question of origin because we have God's gift of Faith, the substance of things not seen.
I don't care if God created the Heaven and the Earth in an instant in the beginning and then took 6 24-hour days to furnish them.... nor do I care that He may have taken a long time to develop all of this creation.... I enjoy being apart of it nonetheless and rejoice in that God created it.
I'm not dogmatic either way, I am just pointing out certain statements in the Scripture and looking at them closely...It could very well be that Earth is older than 7000 years.... though I believe that Mankind has been here about that long.... and was made from the elements/minerals of the Earth by God....And then something special happened to him/us...God blew the breath of Life into his nostrils.... and mankind became living souls.
I think this is a wonderful thing, even though some wish that it were not so and insist that we are just the descendants of animals...
