Just watched Gonzalez' video, "The Privileged Planet" for the 2nd time. Excellent, excellent video.
There is a book of the same title which I am also looking forward to reading.
A number of years ago, I read the beginning of Genesis, but made in my own mind a TINY change. The bible we read has been through several languages and translation changes so I thought to myself...
What if, instead of the word DAY, the bible read “PERIOD OF TIME”?
I have watched many TV shows on the origins of the Universe and our earth, and the physical events seem to closely follow science, or science seems to follow the physical event outlined in the bible. Light from darkness, parting the waters from the land, the beginning of life STARTING with animals and ENDING when “He created MAN in HIS own image”.
Every time I’ve reread those first passages, I mentally insert the phrase “PERIOD OF TIME”.
I am only one person, but I can see where SCIENCE upholds biblical events, and I can see where the bible upholds the theories of science. It depends on whether the proper read is “DAY” or the phrase “PERIOD OF TIME”.
ONLY my thoughts.
