Quote by: Chris  so when did god create man? what day? so you equate the time from day 1 to that day to be the time the earth was formed until men evolved? that is a gap so huge i doubt you can get your head around. billions of years versus thousands. |
Since it was simple men who were influenced to write the stories in the bible they did what they could without any knowledge. I'm sure none of them could conceive any lengthy period of time, so 1 day was either the best guessed answer or just copied to appeal to pagans better.
