Since you've opened up 'chat', Dan let me introduce some things that are pure speculation ......... perhaps. The Bible introduces us to Adam and Eve....English names for the first man and woman of humanity. DNA teaches us that it will, eventually, lead us all back to ONE point of origin. In Genesis we are taught that God created the heavens and the earth in seven days.....again an English term. Now, nowhere in this Bible are we given what a 'day' consists of a few thousand years before Christ. The Gregorian calendar wasn't invented until circa 1500 AD so just how do we know how long a 'day' was. Time is relevant. It is something we humans use to measure the passing of our lives. BUT that measurement didn't exist during the birth of heaven and earth. So just how do we know that these SEVEN days (which are a loosely translated period of time) didn't cover a period of thousands to millions of years???? Could we not say it took seven miracles to form Heaven and Earth over an indefinate period of time?? Joyce Gaston Reece

Love you Joyce, but I'm afraid I must disagree with your statement that "nowhere in this Bible are we given what a day consists of." No desire to start an argument, but Genesis chapter 1, verse 3-5 tells exactly what a day is and it has never changed. If we are to rely on the Bible, we must take it all........... ----- Original Message ----- From: "Joyce Gaston Reece" <[email protected]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Friday, December 28, 2012 12:43 PM Subject: Re: [CherokeeGene] DNA-Barb > In Genesis we are taught that God created the heavens and the earth in > seven > days.....again an English term.
