But that is going beyond what was written.

If I say I started working in the evening and didn't stop until morning....

Did I work 24 hours?
What shift did I work?

What is the most common shift for the bulk of people to work?
Why?

So what happens during the shift that I just worked? (People are sleeping)
It's pretty clear.. There was evening.. .That's night time.. "There was morning" that's the end of the night time.... "The first day".. that's ur... the first day...

That's called doubling down on accusing the brethren. If that's what you think is of value here then you go for it. I seriously doubt they see it this way.
I’m not scientifically illiterate. Lying is lying. They’re lying . Lies of omission are still lying . If a doctor deliberately leaves out important details about a patient and that patient dies then that doctor can go to jail, not just lose his/her job. That’s not like telling a little white lie . The only time that’s excusable in science is if the information wasn’t available or it’s completely irrelevant. If the information is widely available then this type of disinformation is inexcusable and basically is akin to lying

So...... God needs the sun and moon to know how long 24 hours is?

Seriously... He made a very strong attempt to let everyone know that it was 6 literal days. Even after day one... right up to day 6 HE wrote "There was evening, there was morning, the first, second, third... etc day..."

I'm pretty sure that God knew that some "scientists" were going to throw away the "Six days of Creation" ... so.. He punctuated each and every day so that we would know.
the 6 days of creation have more to do with numerology than with actual physical nature . 1,2 and 3 were considered to be magical. All 3 are primes and 2 is the only even numbered prime . Add or multiply 1,2 and 3 Together and you get 6 . You get 3 days of separating into two,then3 days of adding stuff to the separated halves. Day and night , waters above from waters below and then the land from the water. Those numbers show up again and again. 7 is also a magical number . You have to remember that these people actually believed in astrology as well and they mapped the sky pretty accurately for astrological reasons. Both of these are considered to be pseudoscience today .

You have to remember that when these people read that the creation took place in six days... they believed it took place in six days.... and they were right.

They had absolutely no reason to think otherwise... nor do I.

Yes they did...
Which is what people have been saying.

This is intricate and complicated Hebrew poetry.
More is there than a flat reading in English provides.

It's only "poetry" to those that don't think that God was capable of doing it in six literal days.

To the rest of us.. it is a historical account of the actual events and timeline.

I have personally met and talked to some of the people I believe you are referring to. While I don't ascribe to everything they teach I can tell you this: What I saw & heard is people that truly love the Lord and have a genuine heart & desire to see people saved. And I am not "illiterate" in discerning such things, in fact I have a ton of experience with it. With what I do, I have seen and experienced plenty of people that say the all the right things but have the wrong heart. That was not the case here. I would never accuse them of lying, even when I disagree. It's more harmful to the Body of Christ than being mistaken.

Lying about natural phenomena is harmful. You get the idiocies of evolution denial when common descent and natural selection are both used in medical research. Global warming denial which is pushing the evolution of pandemics as well as causing murderous heatwaves , crop stress leading to famines, water shortages, extinctions , wildfires and extreme storms. Even the denial of the danger of a pandemic. I really don’t give a rat’s behind about “being harmful to the Body of Christ” when these lies about nature cause the deaths and misery of so many of us without caring about our religion. The lies have to stop

Well I think your stubbornness, attitude and priorities pretty much says it all.

Yep , I’m gonna be stubborn about it . Science denial kills people animals plants etc . I suppose you think you’re immune just because you’re a Christian.
Oh goodie. Tell me more about what I think!

You’re telling me what I’m supposed to think why not
Never said a thing about what you should think. In fact I said what I think. Which is that those people you are accusing of lying probably disagree with your assessment and are - in spite of disagreements - nice people. Oh wait, your so right! What a jerk I've been!

Ok...
Apparently the 6 literal day creation believers have to take a hit with this comet.
It has a 6800 year track... something that the math definitely shows and can't be explained away.
Earth history is only 6000 years at the most expanded timeline....4,000 before Jesus and 2,000 after.
Soooo
How can a comet be on a return track that is 800 years too much?
And, did,someone recorded it flying past the earth 6800 years ago?
Nope! It didn't happen.
Did you watch it? If so, congratulations you just saw the first time it has been visable on earth! Amazing, right.
It's just math.
Why read science and use it to doubt God? Why not read the bible and believe everything God says is true? Are we ever going to know for certain if it was literally 7 days? Does it matter: does it change your faith in God being who He says? I just believe what I read, because I know God is the Truth.

You do sound very very young. Dr's rarely go to jail when they harm a patient, let alone omit some vital information.
I've just read the OP and this last page of comments. It sounds like you are on a mission to educate the world on what your high school teachers taught you. Sigh.
I mean, you were tested on it, so it must be true....

I would just like to know what makes people think that a day on earth is the same amount of time as a day on heaven? Heaven is infinite, therefore a day in heaven is not even subjected to time. The bible does not at all give us an indication of the age of the Earth.

Job 38:4
Where wast thou when I laid the foundations of the earth?

Genesis 1:1
In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth.

Do you trust mans mathematics over the WORD OF GOD?

Matthew 8:26
And he saith unto them, Why are ye fearful, O ye of little faith? Then he arose, and rebuked the winds and the sea; and there was a great calm.
