Interesting topic. Are we all created at our conception? The position taken in your article would seem to require it.

A day of the Lord is like a thousand years to man, right? On the seventh day, while God rested, were none born? On the sixth day, men & women were created. Sure all that were created on that day were born that day?

Biblically speaking, I would say yes. Adam didn't exist before God formed him. It's not a stretch to think that we don't exist until God creates us. It seems that this is what Paul is driving at:

1Co 15:44 It is sown a natural body; it is raised a spiritual body. There is a natural body, and there is a spiritual body.
1Co 15:45 And so it is written, The first man Adam was made a living soul; the last Adam was made a quickening spirit.
1Co 15:46 Howbeit that was not first which is spiritual, but that which is natural; and afterward that which is spiritual.
1Co 15:47 The first man is of the earth, earthy: the second man is the Lord from heaven.
1Co 15:48 As is the earthy, such are they also that are earthy: and as is the heavenly, such are they also that are heavenly.
1Co 15:49 And as we have borne the image of the earthy, we shall also bear the image of the heavenly.

A day of the Lord is like a thousand years to man, right? On the seventh day, while God rested, were none born? On the sixth day, men & women were created. Sure all that were created on that day were born that day?

Or the 6th day was just a day long.
