Re: Still Inconsistent
Except, if you read it IN CONTEXT, in the original hebrew, the way that the term "YOM" is used (because it specifically says, it was day and it was night"< the term refers to a 24 hour period.
Perhaps, if you bothered to actually read Genesis in context, and look at the Jewish commentary, you would not make such elementary mistakes.
It might not agree with your predetermined theology, but context does mean a lot you know. Even as early as 175 BCE, there are big indications that the Jewish faith did not take it more than an allegory though.
