THE BIBLE: God’s Word or Man’s?

[Alter2Ego]

Using the bible to support the bible will get you nowhere fast here.

Ps your bible says that god created the universe a few days before he created humans.

Or are you saying that the bible is in error?

ALTER2EGO -to- ZEN BADGER:
The Genesis creation account does not use six literal 24-hour human days. They are "Creative" days, measured from the viewpoint of God who is eternal. Since God is eternal (meaning he has no beginning and no end), a mere 24-hour human day would resemble a speck from his viewpoint. Therefore, he does not apply 24-hour time spans to himself; he applies it only to humans. And since there were no humans around during the Genesis creating period, 24-hour time spans did not come into play at that particular time.

"Before the mountains themselves were born, or you proceeded to bring forth as with labor pains the earth and the productive land, even from time indefinite to time indefinite you are God." (Psalms 90:2)


From God's viewpoint, the maximum conversion--when dealing with mortal humans--is that a thousand human years is like a day to God.

"However, let this one fact not be escaping your notice, beloved ones, that one day is with Jehovah as a thousand years and a thousand years as one day."
(2 Peter 3:8)
