And you didn't answer my question: "So did god knew that all in advance, even with our 'free will'?"

Wow --- maybe if I keep posting enough here, I'll accidentally answer it.

I have no clue what you're asking --- I guess.

A week = 7 days --- if that's not good enough, I don't know what to tell you.

 

[AV1611VET]

By all means, google a bit about the subject.

Will this do?

The French Revolutionary Calendar (or Republican Calendar) was officially adopted in France on October 24, 1793 and abolished on 1 January 1806 by Emperor Napoleon I. It was used again briefly during under the Paris Commune in 1871. The French also established a new clock, in which the day was divided in ten hours of a hundred minutes of a hundred seconds - exactly 100,000 seconds per day.


The calendar was adopted more than one year after the advent of the First Republic (there was no year 1), after a long debate involving the mathematicians Romme and Monge, the poets Chénier and Fabre d’ Eglantine and the painter David. The mathematicians contributed equal month division, and a decimal measures of time. The poets contributed the name of the days, choosing the names of plants, domestic animals and tools; the months rhyme three by three, according to the "sonority" of the seasons. The Eiffel Tower shown at right was built in commemoration of the French Revolution, and was built for the Paris World’s Fair in 1889.

No, the 1800's aren't even close and it hasn't got anything to do with what I said. The trick with googling is not to google with the keywords that will lead you to what you wish to find. instead, try googling with keywords that will lead to you the truth. Try "7 day week" or some variations thereoff and read the first couple pages.

C'mon AV, it's a simple question.

A day and a year are logical constructs to base time upon. A 7 day week is not. Throughout history there have been many other week models with 5 to 13 days in it.
It's just like 60 minutes in an hour. We could have just divided an hour into 100 parts and still call it a minute.

So my question to you: did god know in advance --- despite our 'free will' --- that we humans:
* Would use the concept of 'weeks'.
* Would eventually use a 7 day week.

Please, for a change, just answer the question in plain english.

A 7 day week is not.

Without giving me an answer encouched in treeware, do you have a better suggestion?

Yes --- to both questions.

Treeware (as in paper)? Wow. Had to look that one up.

UrbanDictionary for the win.

"One of those unfortunate 'fringe' words that has entered into the language - not popular enough for you to know what it means and not obscure enough for you never to have come in contact with it."
Check.

"It will be sandwiched between two other equally esoteric words with equally redundant applications."
"encouched in treeware" Check.

"You type "treeware" instead of "hardcopy" when you're writing a cleverly worded course outline with your left hand whilst your right hand is busily engaging in ritual self satisfaction. "
Unsure about that one.
(But please don't elaborate)

"Mr (X) thought using the word treeware in his course outline would gain him some kudos amongst the class. Ironically the class had had so little exposure to the word that they all ended up on urban dictionary reading this definition instead. "
Check.

Wow, Urban Dictionary was really spot on this time!

Yes --- to both questions.

Alright, interesting. Not sure how that goes together with free will but he is all-knowing afterall...
So AV, do you think God also knew in advance that Adam & Eve would sin for eating the forbidden fruit?

Ooh, haven't seen that one in a while! You said you only did that when people started to blaspheme or something... where's the blasphemy here? All I see is a pretty common question. Any reason you don't care to answer?

 

[Ectezus]

Does anyone happen to know of a thread where that question is answered?

Well done you have just found a quick and easy way to remove AV from any thread he is threadcrapping

all everyone needs to do is cut out this handy question and when AV is derailing your thread you can quickly and easily remove him by simply pasting this question.

So if we all put it in our signature lines..... Hmmmm

As any good scientist should, this theory should be put to the test at the next opportunity

Think we'll still be accused of taking it on faith that it works once we find out?

He took 6 days on purpose, so as to demonstrate what we call today the 'work week'.

Or the people who wrote Genesis retrofitted the creation story to explain why their 7 day week is better than the 13 day week of all the heathens. You always seem to forget that possibility.

We've discovered his kryptonite. lol.

I thought the ignore button was his kryptonite.
