"First you're saying God lied to us -- God cannot lie."

two things wrong here: one, I did not say God lied to us, i said he explained it in simple terms, and would prefer we lived our lives, rather than wonder about things like that.

two: God can do anything. He's God.

"There are no 'voids' in generations "

read up and come back to me. i believe there are something like 8 people unaccounted for between Abraham and Jesus.

"God was there at Creation, He was an eyewitness to the entire process and therefore in a position to reveal honestly what happened. "

Jesus is God, yes? Jesus spoke in stories to convey ideas in a simplified manner. Why are you fighting that God may have as well?

" Instead you should start with God's Truth and work from there. Things fit much more nicely and nothing is left out. "

nothing left out by my theory as well. God created life, and set into motion on a time scale we cant comprehend. and yes, evolution is a theory. a theory that can be explained by simply realizing that not everything in the Bible is literal.

"I think a little more study is in order on your part to see how Creation in Six Days fits all the evidence we have. If you truly appreciate Science, you would be willing to do this."

I have seen the evidence for both cases. perhaps if you sdtudied some of the origins of the Bible, you would feel more like i do.

"The question isn't how could God have made everything as he said in Six Days -- but why would He take so long? He's infinite. He could have done it in a blink. "

so what is a day to God? couldnt a day be several millinia?

A day is a day is a day.

A literal "day" is measured as 24 hours, period (despite other definitions not in effect here).

So no -- to God a day is a day. What He can achieve in that time span compared to us is a different matter. But regardless He told us in no uncertain terms that He did it in the span that we call a literal 24 hour day.

You are spinning far worse than Kerry is in this election in order to make your "point".
