Do you have a time machine? Seems to me we could save a lot of time by just going back and asking the original authors what they meant, instead of twisting the words they ACTUALLY WROTE to better fit with your preconceived ideas.
But I guess if you had a time machine, we could simply go back to the beginning of the universe and put this "debate" to rest for good.

The bible writer of Genesis wrote in the Hebrew langular. It is very poetic and the words used have different meanings based upon the context. That is a fact.
To say that the word day could refer to an indefinite epoch is not a translation by any means.
Why back in my day people would have understood that. (by the way I am referring to an indefinite time period not a literal 24 hour day).
I thought the knock on persons that believe in the bible is that they are literalists? Seems Sham is a bit of a literalist himself.
