Trouble is, the idea of the 7th day of creation in the book of Genesis being a continuing rest is based on a dubious (in my opinion) hermeneutic. The natural (and therefore preferred) reading is a standard day. (Final court of appeal according to Jesus - a child's interpretation - in childlike simplicity). Since the non-Biblical time scale is pretty-well discredited anyway (genetic load, T-Rex DNA etc) there is nothing to try and explain away. Why not just accept that God knew what He wanted to say and knew how to say it?

On behalf of Peter:Adam and Eve seeing all stars on the day they where created, a certain view is that for the 6000 years since Mans creation, 7000 including Jesus 1000 year reign before he hands the restored creation back to his Father in perfection, that we are therefore still in Gods 7th day of rest, and that therefore, the previous days of creation would logically also have each been 7000 years, what are your thoughs on this view and would it make any differance to your model of the small universe?A second point I have allways been interested in, before the flood, the Earth was said to be in the midst of Water, yet standing compactly out of water, and it was by these means that the flood came, or as Genisis says, the waters above the firmanent, so I wonder, if Adam was viewing the stars through a water mantle in say the position of the thermasphere, do you think the stars would have looked differant to Adam than to us?Kind regards Peter Charlton -- No virus found in this incoming message.Checked by AVG Free Edition.
