Come on, give our kids a chance; stop peddling fairy tales and lets have a real discussion by using an opposing hypothesis of origins like: “Since it has been demonstrated that all living organisms on Earth are genetically related, it is virtually certain that all living organisms have obviously been created AT ONCE by the One and the same Creator by variation in the DNA structure of each life form. [Simul in latin meaning “at once” in English, from Lateran IV, AD 1215] ****

Philipp, it’s too late: the YEC view of an hexaemeral creation is dead in the water. No scientist that I know accepts it.

Steve, where do you get your supply of sheep for Velly? I imagine she goes through at least one per day. We kept out tricerotops on the ranch, but had to get rid of the T-Rex.

WHAT in the world did you do with T-Rex??? Don’t tell me you had him put " to sleep." Where are the animal rights activist??? Do you suppose he’ll be waiting in Heaven for you, to ask you WHY you got rid of him.?? What about the ‘other’ animals you need to feed these critters? Oh my, so many problems, I think I’ll stick to my dogs. God Bless, Memaw

It brings tears to my eyes to even consider having to make such a choice! :crying:
But if I had to, I probably would’ve made the same choice.

MY FEELINGS exactly!

We all know the bible is part myth and part truth. The myth comes from us humans not being able to understand the acts of God. What does it mean to say the world was created in six days. As the movie “Inherit the Wind” says, how was a day measured when no one knows the length of the original day. THe beginning of time is a mystery to all be you of faith or not. The question does not shake my belief in God nor do the parts of the bible that read like fiction. The problem is reason is often lacking, here in the Catholic church and in other Christian churches.

A day similar to the days today. The plants were created before the sun, so they couldn’t have lasted for very long without it [the sun] which was created in the very next day. If it wasn’t like that, then the plants would have died.

But I agree that in matters of salvation it does not really matter what do you believe the longevity of the first days was.
