Topic Please, Seriously
OP Refresher for all Participants:
​
How does a teacher of religion know (and they should know because they *are* teaching this as the truth to people) that the non-literal interpretation of creation is actually what God meant and not just what the teacher *thinks* God *meant* to say?
​
Sure you can cross-reference, and that's what we saw in the 6 Day example in the other thread (cross references to both ancient language and modern science), but how do you know you are cross-referencing the correct material/evidence?
​
This thread is not to discuss the meaning of the words or how long a day was. Please read the OP questions again and adjust accordingly.
​
Please get back to the topic or the thread will be closed.
​
Please direct any comments concerning this Administrative msg to the Report discussion problems here: No.2 thread.

Any response in this thread will receive a 24 hour suspension.

Thank you Purple

Usually, in a well-conducted debate, speakers are either emotionally uncommitted or can preserve sufficient detachment to maintain a coolly academic approach.-- Encylopedia Brittanica, on debate

You are off topic. As I said in Message 92: This thread is not to discuss the meaning of the words or how long a day was. Please read the OP questions again and adjust accordingly.
​
You are continuing to argue the meaning of the words. Peg and I were not.
​
Take the discussion of Yom to the thread that sparked this thread. Define literal vs non-literal
