On a sidenote, TPhoenix, I have to say that I don't think that the day = thousand years thing was meant to be taken literally, but rather that a thousand years was used as an arbitrary number to show that God is eternal.

If memory serves, it was idiomatic for "any number too large to bother counting".

Exactly. I think that the type of universe that evolution and an old universe talk about is far more complex and God-worthy than one plopped into existence.

Sorry if you already knew that.

I agree. I don't think the 1 day = a thousand years thing is any kind of a formula, lol. (laughing to myself, not at anyone)

Don't insult my intelligence, I don't insult yours.

Enough of all the hostility please.

He was not insulting your intelligence, just making a point.

If he wanted to insult your intelligence he would have said "Your an idiot Bushido". ;)

hehe dont take this the wrong way. I do not think you are an idiot, nor do I think anyone else in this thread does.
