Evolution Not Destroy Faith, Not Destroy Morals

It's usually called "creation week", which in modern parlance could include a "day off". Recall the wording; "Six days shall ye labor, but the seventh is holy to the Lord." So the seventh day is included in the creation week although no work was done (except the 'creation' of the Sabbath). Recall that the Sabbath "was made" for man and is thus part of creation week.

Not in my circles.

Probably in the circles that talk about the book of 'Revelations'!

There is no "creation week" usage in my circles - or much of any other Jewish circles. Creation was 6 days, and Shabbat was separate.

Jews - including Messianics - do not focus on Revelation.
Most Jews (traditional) have never even seen a copy of it.

So I take it that the Sabbath is not called the "seventh" day in Judaism as it is in Christianity? Interesting.

Yes it is the seventh day as the Hebrew word shabbat literally means seven.

I used to believe that as well, but further study revealed that it actually means to rest.
