Before I get started, let me say that I completely respect your (and everyone else's) interpretation as much as I do my own . . .
I can understand this concept of a 24-hour day, because the Bible defines each "Day" that God spent on the job with phrase "And there was evening and there was morning, one day." [New American Standard] . . . I'm assuming that the ancients used that phrase because the concept of an "hour" had not been invented yet, much less 24 of them in a Solar Day. . . . .
But my point is the elapsed time BETWEEN Days on the job . . . . How much time DID elapse, between work days ? None at all, or millions of years? Certainly one Solar Day follows immediately after the previous one, but the Bible does not say that God's "Day One on the Job" immediately follows "Day Two on the Job." . . . These verses go on to say, "And God saw that it was so" after each Day of work. Did this "seeing" happen during the 24-hour Solar Day, or was it between Days on the Job? The Bible is silent on this . . . .
IF millions of years did pass between Days on the Job, then that would certainly be consistent with the physical Sciences . . . .
I just can't find any Scripture that says that God's "Days on the Job" were CONSECUTIVE Solar Days. . . .
Now I'm sure that if 100 of us read these Bible verses, we would come up with 100 different interpretations, but who's interpretation is the RIGHT one? Or who's interpretation is the BEST one, even ?
I'm not sure that anyone (except John of Patmos) will ever have those answers on this side of the Great Divide. . . . .
Ride safe,
Jim
