Re: Why do we have a seven day week?
The last point is probably the biggest reason. For primitive peoples, the moon is the most readily available clock and 7, 14, 21, 28 is a handy way to break it up with visible clues.

Re: Why do we have a seven day week?
I don't think I was the one that pointed out that 29 was Prime, the other issue of resetting calendars was very common.
​
IMHO it was this magic, this ability to reset the calendar to bring it in accord with observations that first led to the creation of a Priestly Cast and likely to the belief that priests had power with the Gods.
​
But we certainly have wandered far afield from anything related to Evolution for Dummies and Christians.

Re: I'm not following your thinking Thure
You could argue that there was a point when the plants were slightly copper resistant and still able to reproduce with parent species.
​
Would that not be an example of a transitional species?

Re: I'm not following your thinking Thure
Exactly. That's my question.
​
Is this a clear example of how the process works? Is the beauty of the system hidden within the fact that change is most often gradual?
