Ok I have iron banner to finish and I'm at work so I cant get to this now. Feel free to reply again if you have any stronger points because so far this will be easy. Though at the end of this I doubt either of us will be happy or see eye to eye. Just to frame my arguments what is your interpretation of the world because I need to know what I'm dealing with. Do you claim the earth is 6000 years old? We're all dinosaurs vegetarians on the arc or bones placed there by the devil. A summary of your religious views would help and any classic arguments you hold to. Irreducible complexity and no macroevolution are a couple so far. And I promise I will respect your views as best I can I wont be picking apart your beliefs just using them to frame my replies, but for now I can already tell this will go south since you already have something completely wrong. Yom does not mean 24 hour it actually specifically doesn't designate any particular length. It means long age and it only gets a time frame in context which the Torah does not give. Edit: in fact it better translates to 12 hours or less since the only real context given is time of light but without an earth as a starting point, which didn't happen on the first, time of light isn't even an earth 24 hour day, it's cosmological

I just said 24-hour days for the sake of avoiding specific semantics (and also for the reasoning that the Genesis account stated that each day had an evening and morning), but I don't know where you got the "or less" part.

  • [quote]You think? Why do you think we have leap year?[/quote] Because it takes ~365.25 days for the Earth to orbit the sun. Hence every 4 years, add 1 day. Has nothing to do with amount of daylight. Perhaps you meant daylight savings time?
