Quote by: Isherwood  Exactly the point. The terms are used in that passage because humans wrote it, humans who couldn't imagine anything beyond days and nights. Actually it's translated "evening and morning", so it's even more off base in saying that evening and morning (essentially night) was the first day, second day, et cetera. Had the writers of the Talmud understood what caused night and day they might have chosen to be a bit more metaphysical in describing the creation story. |
Yes thank you. That's the point i'm trying to make, you say it better.
