A day isn't even a day for the space station crew, our days are slightly faster than theirs because they are moving faster than we are. Assuming your watch was 100% accurate and the watch on an astronaut was also 100% accurate, the astronaut's watch will be moving slower than your watch (albeit the difference is very tiny because relatively speaking the Astronaut isn't moving THAT much faster than you are). Now if a day isn't even a day for the astronauts, who are you to say what a day is to God? This has been proven in experiemnts with syncronized atomic clocks (one on the ground and one sent to orbit).

Of course prior to the 20th century no-one could concieve of time being relative, but once you understand time dialation and relativity you begin to understand how the bible can be right in that the world was created in 7 days, and at the same time those days being measured in hundreds of millions of years thanks to relativity.

As for the fossil record, we've got TONS of fossils showing support for evolution save for one, critical area. While man is similar to apes, there is no fossil directly linking us. Perhaps that is because God made us apart from the animals just as it says in the Bible.

Pfft, next thing is you'll be telling us that the earth isn't the center of the universe, which we know to be false and unBiblical.

Funny that we would share much of the same genes, enzymes, behaviors....

I happen to like animals - you don't see them screwing each other over for votes or percentages.

But I would cetainly give your arguments more creedence if our cellular structures and metabolic processes where vastly different than species who have been shown to have similar genetics to our own.

Best hold that parchment tightly....
