Interesting discussion Ewoks. But, you are not seeing the entire picture of the Gen. account.
I personally know people smarter than me on both sides of this issue. Some believing it is a literal 6 24 hour periods and others saying it is a literary device meaning 7 set periods of time.
I hope we all do see two creation accounts in Gen 1 & 2 and are not limiting the discussion to only one of the accounts?
Personally, I am not a fan of Ewoks' overstatement and divisive argumentative language.
I am unsure of how God created the universe. Thankfully, I don't have to be. I am sure that God could have done it in 7 seconds or less had He wanted too. For me to definitively state anything is a bit hard for me personally.
Paul warns all of us about being involved in arguments that are not profitable. Therefore, I know one thing and that is Jesus Christ and Him Crucified. If you agree with that then join me in my journey.
