Good morning,
Okay, I pretty much assumed the "thousands of years in a day" translation would come up, but I wanted to be sure. I guess it is the luxury of a deity to decide how long a day is. I am still not quite happy with that, if a day isn't a day long, why call it a day in the book? Surely an omnipotent and omni sentient entity as god must have foreseen the confusion it would bring?
Speaking of which: I am sure you have read many arguments against the Genesis story about first creating light, day and night, and days later making the stars and the sun. How do you account for those?
I am not great in bible scriptures I must say, I defer to those that are better at interpreting those. I have read it, and your lord knows I've had plenty of scripture flung at me through emails and PM's (not here btw) like monkeys flinging poo in the zoo, which i find rather distasteful. So I am glad someone reasonable is willing to discuss these things without preaching.
I find religion interesting, but to me I see no added value to Christianity over any other religion. Since you have read and learned on all these different religions, why did you choose this rather unique one over the others?
