It is up to us to seek out His meaning... not for Him to conform to ours. I fail to see what you cannot comprehend about this trivial point.

Let's try a different route, here. If God's definitions of language aren't the same as ours, and we don't have to assume he's simply saying what he means, it would mean that the meaning of anything in the bible is up for debate, right? I mean... God makes his own definitions, and our flawed reading could easily not match up with his.So if we take the section of the Bible which begins with "In the beginning" and ends with "The grace of the Lord Jesus be with all the Saints. Amen," how do we know that God's definition of this isn't "HA HA! I'm just screwing with you! 6,000 years? Honestly, are you people dense or something? What the Hell did you think all those dinosaur bones were doing there?"

Y'think that's cussing? Man, you oughtta see me when I get worked up...

In fairness to Crash, attempting to understand the reasoning behind something is a far cry from trying to justify it.Once you can understand the mindset behind something loony like this idea, it can be argued against more effectively.
