Nice spin... Is this Hugh Ross?

Sorry, I don't limit God as you do, requiring Him to take millions of years to do what He said took six days. Best to go with what He said instead of some anti-God "scientists"

I find it quite humorous that your most frequent response is about spin, and yet you yourself said God COULDN'T LIE.

I'm not limiting God here, all I'm doing is taking into account Man's very limited working knowledge of the World back in around 900 B.C. (When the Torah was actually turned into a written text by a few Hebrews who knew different variations of an oral tradition, and thus wrote it down by committee.)

You are simply assuming Man's logic is infallible, I am saying we have much to learn. Our correcting ourselves on that does not make us on the wrong track, it makes it obvious we aren't God, so we dont know the full truth yet.

And BTW, it isn't very becoming to keep turning a theological discussion into a political rib. Or do you simply assume politics and religion are one and the same?

As for the "limiting God to Millions of years" bit: Why would I limit God to anything at all? He's perfectly capable of having formed existance in the past 2 hours, and simply leaving us with memories of a false past. My problem is, it doesn;t fit all the evidence, and why would God leave evidence to support otherwise? Why would you limit God to 6 days? Why not 18 minutes and a coffee break?
