[QUOTE="JediMobius, post: 59517958, member: 137345"] Well, no, not [i]anything[/i]. Anyway, the more common young-earth creationist view is that there were 7 God-days, which according to prophetic verses is "like a thousand years," therefor positing only a few thousand years of universal history. It is this YEC view that, by the relativity of time, is easily reconciled with the apparent age of the universe, which is ancient. (Besides, "like" a thousand years is a substantial qualifier, those creation days could actually be any length beyond man's lifespan and, especially for old testament audiences, unfathomable length of time.) 24-hour creation days don't make any sense scripturally, so I just dismiss that view as misguided and unobservant. The sun didn't even exist the first couple creation-days, so how is it they can be 24-hour days? Further, 24-hour days originate from man's perception of time, so 24-hour days need not be assumed before partway through the 6th day. Not that you necessarily care about the particulars, but I do have reasonable grounds for calling it an unnecessary distinction, and this I mean from a theological standpoint. [/QUOTE]
