The writer just didnt have a clue if the creation took thousands ,millions or billions years.so why record it as 6 days if it wasnt the case?
6 is a sacred number of this ancient culture, a symbol for completeness.To set up the model for the week and Sabbath.
There were 70 weeks from the start of Daniel's prophecy, the decree to rebuild Jerusalem, until the Messiah? How does that work?well thankyou for elaborating on why...
point being is that there were 70 years.
There was also 70 weeks.
Plus the fact that 3 days in the tomb-really meant 3 days.
40 days in the desert was exactly that.
If you want to believe the word of God is careless when it says in Gen-evening and morning=1 day thats up to you .
I suppose the geneologies should be ignored---,seems to me that this is Gods way of confirming that it actually does mean what it says, and he glues it all together by emphasising the facts of how long people lived and exactly how old they were when their offspring came to be.----Why go to this trouble if it is full of gaps and holes.?
God indeed has his oracles and the hebrew was chosen to record them.
Its time to drop your secular foundation on history and claim to know nothing except Jesus Christ and him crucified- this is the only way -for all of us.
God was not bound by time factors when he spoke the word and things came into being..
Jesus, who played an active role in CREATION by speaking the word--which he is, instantaniously healed all kinds of ills, by the word that came forth from his wonderful mouth. No time needed here.
God does not need millions-thousands-hundreds of years to perform his will.
See now, it's because the days in Genesis 1 are six literal days that the week is seven days - except when a week is seven years - oh wait -There were 70 weeks from the start of Daniel's prophecy, the decree to rebuild Jerusalem, until the Messiah? How does that work?

Where does the bible sayHe seems to know what he was talking about;
Evening and morning=1day, sounds pretty spot on to me
Where does Genesis say that?31 God saw all that He had made, and behold, it was very good. And there was evening and there was morning, the sixth day. 1 Thus the heavens and the earth were completed, and all their hosts.
2 By the seventh day God completed His work which He had done, and He rested on the seventh day from all His work which He had done.
3 Then God blessed the seventh day and sanctified it, because in it He rested from all His work which God had created and[1][Lit to make ] made.
In the day when God created man, He made him in the likeness of God.
2 He created them male and female, and He blessed them and named them Man[1][Lit Adam ] in the day when they were created.
3 When Adam had lived one hundred and thirty years, he became[2][Lit begot, and so throughout the ch] the father of a son in his own likeness, according to his image, and named him Seth.
4 Then the days of Adam after he became the father of Seth were eight hundred years, and he had other sons and daughters.
5 So all the days that Adam lived were nine hundred and thirty years, and he died.
Looks like God wants you believe that it was 6 days.
Where does the bible say
Evening and morning=1day?
Where does Genesis say that?
GEN 1
And there was evening and there was morning, one day.
And there was evening and there was morning, a second day.
13 There was evening and there was morning, a third day.
19 There was evening and there was morning, a fourth day.
23 There was evening and there was morning, a fifth day.
And there was evening and there was morning, the sixth day.
CHAPTER 5
Descendants of Adam
1 This is the book of the generations of Adam.
Is this the book you were talking about?
Yes I know these verses. My question was where the bible says:GEN 1
And there was evening and there was morning, one day.
And there was evening and there was morning, a second day.
13 There was evening and there was morning, a third day.
19 There was evening and there was morning, a fourth day.
23 There was evening and there was morning, a fifth day.
And there was evening and there was morning, the sixth day.
Genesis never tells us the world was made in six days.31 God saw all that He had made, and behold, it was very good. And there was evening and there was morning, the sixth day. 1 Thus the heavens and the earth were completed, and all their hosts.
2 By the seventh day God completed His work which He had done, and He rested on the seventh day from all His work which He had done.
3 Then God blessed the seventh day and sanctified it, because in it He rested from all His work which God had created and[1][Lit to make ] made.
In the day when God created man, He made him in the likeness of God.
2 He created them male and female, and He blessed them and named them Man[1][Lit Adam ] in the day when they were created.
3 When Adam had lived one hundred and thirty years, he became[2][Lit begot, and so throughout the ch] the father of a son in his own likeness, according to his image, and named him Seth.
4 Then the days of Adam after he became the father of Seth were eight hundred years, and he had other sons and daughters.
5 So all the days that Adam lived were nine hundred and thirty years, and he died.

Is this some kind of joke?---you dont believe the above,Yes I know these verses. My question was where the bible says:
Evening and morning=1day
Genesis never tells us the world was made in six days.
.
31 God saw all that He had made, and behold, it was very good. And there was evening and there was morning, the sixth day
You keep saying "Evening and morning=1day" which is really bad maths. What about night and afternoon? They are part of a day too so what is with the Evening and morning=1day?
It says 'the sixth day' not 'in six days'well what does it say Assyrian?.

Verse 8 says 'a second day' not 'the second day'. Why do you think that is?
If I told you that when I was staying in London I went to see Buckingham Palace one day but it was closed to visitors. I went a second day but it was closed again. Do I mean I went there my first day in London? Was my next attempt 24 hours later? One day... a second day... simply do not tell us this.
Genesis1 is written in the human view of how god views time. For god it was only days - for humans it is vast ages ...jeffweeder said:He seems to know what he was talking about;

mhh i thought 7 is the divine number and 6 is the number of completeness because the sumerians used a base 6 and 60 counting systemIt was 7
http://www.csus.edu/indiv/v/vonmeierk/2-01ADIE.html said:The number six was chosen as the base for the sacred system of counting employed in Mesopotamia at Sumer about 5000 years ago when civilization, displaying all the major features by which we still recognize it, first appeared. The sacred number six (6) was used by priests in ordering all things sacred and celestial, whereas ten (10) was used for counting in the secular world. When these two were
resolved by being taken together, multiplication produced the standard Sumerian soss (6 x 10 = 60). This product times 6 again yielded 360, which remains to this day our numerical referent for the number of degrees in a circle, just as the soss, 60, still accounts for seconds in a minute and minutes in either a degree or an hour. And in America our electricity is also based on a standard of 60-cycles per second.
so let us get this in uniform .
you propose that 6 days might mean 100,000, 65 million or something other than 6 tiny little days.
If your correct KT, then Adam being created on the 6 day , might have lived to be something more astronomical than the 900 + little years as proposed.
Certainly those Geneologies would mean absolutely nothing.
That Adam was born under the canopy of a 6 day creation- With those geneologies mentioning names like Noah--Abraham--David, we can see from history that this is absolutely correct. They didnt live millions or hundreds of thousands of years ago,--reality says that they lived thousands (2or 3) of years ago..its common sense.
If they did then Adam was living 6000 years ago, because his name is on top of the list.--and we are still in creation week when it happened.
mhh i thought 7 is the divine number and 6 is the number of completeness because the sumerians used a base 6 and 60 counting system
From one man to another listen to your fellow man and not the past. We in the here and now should be able to accept the fact that the Bible didn't actually mean 6 days.
Deep inside you-- you must feel that this YEC theory is somehow wrong from somewhere. And there comes a time when you know your beaten and you have to accept that and move on. Too much pride can be a terrible, terrible thing!!
