I find it quite humorous that your most frequent response is about spin, and yet you yourself said God COULDN'T LIE.

I'm not limiting God here, all I'm doing is taking into account Man's very limited working knowledge of the World back in around 900 B.C. (When the Torah was actually turned into a written text by a few Hebrews who knew different variations of an oral tradition, and thus wrote it down by committee.)

You are simply assuming Man's logic is infallible, I am saying we have much to learn. Our correcting ourselves on that does not make us on the wrong track, it makes it obvious we aren't God, so we dont know the full truth yet.

And BTW, it isn't very becoming to keep turning a theological discussion into a political rib. Or do you simply assume politics and religion are one and the same?

As for the "limiting God to Millions of years" bit: Why would I limit God to anything at all? He's perfectly capable of having formed existance in the past 2 hours, and simply leaving us with memories of a false past. My problem is, it doesn;t fit all the evidence, and why would God leave evidence to support otherwise? Why would you limit God to 6 days? Why not 18 minutes and a coffee break?

You've misread what I said in an earlier post -- I made it quite clear God could have created all in a blink of His eye -- I refuse to limit God.

I see the bud of your problem is that you don't accept God's Word as Truth. You may say you do, but you don't. God inspired all of the Bible and preserved it for all generations. What is there is what He wanted to be there. So the literal 24 hour days in the Bible come FROM GOD through Moses. It's not Moses personal understanding of events that is recorded.

Again, six literal days fits all the evidence that we have. There is nothing to honest scientists that refutes Biblical Creation. Yet the evolutionary model has to keep changing to adapt to new evidence that flies in the face of what was taught before.

You said I am "simply assuming Man's logic is infallible" when in fact nothing is further from the truth of what I'm saying. Man IS fallible -- and when we take man's ideas (Evolution) and try to cut and paste God's Truth to fit the flawed ideas of man, then we have a problem.

If I bring up politics, it's for example -- and just as valid as using any other analogy.
