Of course, if you believe the entire creation literal, how else are you going to handle questions about factual things such as time zones other than refusing to understand it?
You just don't have an answer for it.
I love it when people call evolution a fact. Especially when Christians do....as now they can't explain the fall.Because the Bible is not a book of science, He did not inspire others to reveal him not evolution, the 9 planets, physics, gravity, etc. As man grew in knowledge we then saw the greater brilliance of God as a creator and as a designer which is why we accept the facts about evolution, because we don't see it as contradicting creation but just revealing more about how much of a master designer God is.

Quoting isn't just for referencing a historical fact but also to get a point across. People quote from movies, books, etc as examples to others.. it's not about the story being true, but the message behind it that is important.
And yet....he didn't day that's how it happened. Why didn' t he if it happened the way you say?
But we're talking about a VERY IMPORTANT thing as in how and why did a sin nature pass on down from generation to generation. Gen 1-2-3 reveal the WHY of salvation that it's necessary.
I haven't found that to be the case. I can't speak for everyone, of course. but I believe in evolution because there is evidence for it. I have no problem with believing in the supernatural at all, but I see no reason to disbelieve in the natural, either. God is obvipously not restricted in His use of either.
Sorry Barbarian but your answer doesn't cut it. I agree with you the Bible doesn't have as it prime purpose by no means to be a science book.....but it does tell us how things came about at least by observation. No it doesn't reveal God created atoms but it gives one the clear picture of how things DID come about during those 7 days periods. Thus atoms would have been a part of that. It's also CLEAR how MAN came about....the scripture describes actual, precise events. If our decedent Adam did A.....then sin nature has become passed down because of it then that just can't become an imaginary concept.....if it's an imaginary fictional concept then there's no absolute need to apply the cure or to recognize what we are because of Adam.If God used atoms to make the world, why didn't He say so? Hint: Is the Bible a science text or is it about God and man and our relationship?
When you figure that out, you'll know the answers to both of those.
Evidence? Who's evidence. What about the evidence from scripture which states mankind can become easily seduced and deceived. 2 Tim 3:13God did not tell you anything because if he did it would not be refuted by evidence. It's just so you, using God to be on the side of your views.

The First Day
3And God said, “Let there be light,”a and there was light. 4And God saw that the light was good, and He separated the light from the darkness. 5God called the light “day,” and the darkness He called “night.”
And there was evening, and there was morning—the first day
Honestly, Im failing to see your problem.
I love it when people call evolution a fact. Especially when Christians do....as now they can't explain the fall.
But we have nothing talking about the planets or anything other than the sun, moon, and earth so this is just a hunch of no biblical detail or proof.
It's rotating..last time I checked.The first day for who though? Are earth is a sphere, if it's 8am July 14 in China, it's 8pm July 13 in NYC. So how does the earth have an exact first day especially since it's based on the morning and evening?
...as I said, you can't explain the fall. What happened, did God wave His hand over the earth and all the people began to sin at once? Was there a sin mutation???? What happened?Get over it man. You have dodged several points and did nothing but post smokescreens to avoid tackling them, it is you who has never bothered to explain. Not us. You are one of those christians, who would likely turn others away from the Word of God the impression of it teaching nonsense and factual errors.

Did God tell you that or did Man?
No it doesn't.
Well we have this:
Genesis 2 King James Version (KJV)
2 Thus the heavens and the earth were finished, and all the host of them.
2 And on the seventh day God ended his work which he had made; and he rested on the seventh day from all his work which he had made.
So he made them sometime within the first six days of the start of the space/time continuum.
Planets do count as the host of heaven.
