The Hebrew word for “Day” is used the same way it is in English. It can mean the daylight hours; a span of 24 hours; a unspecific period of time, an “Age, Epoch, Era.”

The Genesis story is absolutely true. Just don't bicker about Moses’s translation of his revelation from the Lord.
When he said “days” did anyone stop to think whether it might be in the Almighty's reckoning; not Earth time???

Science and faith cannot be in conflict. Science helps us to understand the truth of God's physical creation; faith helps us to understand God's intent/will. Both are true; when they appear to contradict, it is because either the physical evidence or scripture is misunderstood.

GGGuts and I have had along running discussion on the meaning of the Hebrew in Genesis and if we do so here it’ll swallow up this thread. (he thinks he’s right, you see).

But I don’t think we’ve bickered ‘cause the finger in the eye only went to the first knuckle.

“The Hebrew word for “Day” is used the same way it is in English. It can mean the daylight hours; a span of 24 hours; a unspecific period of time, an “Age, Epoch, Era.”” [excerpt]

However, as used in Genesis 1, it can only mean a 24 hour period.

“The Genesis story is absolutely true. Just don't bicker about Moses’s translation of his revelation from the Lord.” [excerpt]

So God could create the Earth, but he couldn't make Moses understand what He meant by day?

How do you know that the people who recorded the words written in the bible knew thats what God wanted them to write?

If its not the inspired and inerrant Word of God, its nothing.

“When he said “days” did anyone stop to think whether it might be in the Almighty's reckoning; not Earth time???” [excerpt]

God is outside of time.

If he said day and Moses misunderstood, and God declined to correct him, God would have in essence, lied.
