...it counts 6 days....

No, actually, it doesn't. Your English (and Christian-oriented) version of the Hebrew Book of Genesis, which was long ago translated from Latin, which was long before then translated from some other language, reads that way.

Go to the link in Post #27, and read the section that specifically addresses this issue. Then, if you're still not convinced, go to a priest or minister who can read and translate Hebrew, and ask him.

Gen 1:5 first day (one day) אחד 'echâd Hebrew meaning = First - one

Gen 1:8 second day שׁני shênîy Hebrew meaning = Second

יום yôm Hebrew meaning = Day

Nice try though Ancesthntr, guess you figured I could not read.

The Genesis account is of 6 days and God rested on the 7 th day, whether you read it in the Torah or the goyium English Bible.
