God's Timing of Creation Events
There have been many differing opinions as to HOW God created the earth and HOW long it took Him. Many believe that the days of creation were age-days and that the earth is of a great age. Others believe that the days are 1000 year days.
Some [like me] believe that the earth is young and that the days spoken of were 24 hour days.
There are those who allow a great period of time before those 6 days of creation. [gap theory]
There are those who think the creation story was revealed to Moses in 6 days but the actual creation itself was of unspecified time. There is another group of Christians who accept evolution as the means by which God created the earth while accepting no part of the theory which is in contradiction to scripture.
Whatever one you believe, I think there are 3 things to remember; 1 It was God who did the creating. 2 The events of Genesis correlate with the findings of science; the timing is a different matter. 3 The Bible is the Word of God.
You pay your money and you take your choice!

I'd love to hear you expand #2 Paul. I thought that that NOT being a given was exactly the nature of the discussion?
Love your new haricut by the way.

1 It was God who did the creating – I agree, indeed there is no better explanation.
2 The events of Genesis correlate with the findings of science; the timing is a different matter.
Indeed elements like the land being in one place in Genesis 1 v 20: “God called the dry ground "land," and the gathered waters he called "seas." And God saw that it was good.” The single land mass is based on good scientific evidence.
The evidence for a world wide flood where the single land mass was covered by water is growing as well. Interestingly with all the concern over global warming and the rise in ocean levels, we look to Genesis 9 v 11; Never again will all life be cut off by the waters of a flood; never again will there be a flood to destroy the earth."
In another post I referenced Job, where the earth hangs over nothing.
Again it is interesting that the creation sequence is actually mapped in the Evolution theory, going from sea life, to man.
Isn’t it a wonder how the writer of Genesis (Moses?) had such accuracy?
3 The Bible is the Word of God – no argument from me here.
Happy St. Patricks Day!

Paul,
I'm curious as to why you believe in a literal 6 day (24hours) creationism?
What are your reasons?
