Questioning The literal 7 days of Creation?








We all know the story God created the heavens and Earth and all that lies within them in 6 days and rested on the 7th.

But i have a intresting question, and this intresting question was eatting away at me while in work today.

Did God actually make the Earth in 6 Literal days?

I was always lend to believe that a day in Gods eyes was like a thousand years.

Now you will see where i am going with this?

Remember Mankind wasnt around till the 6th and final day of Creation, so the idea of 6 Literal days of Creation doesnt make sense to me, as mankind wasnt really round to experience the 24hour time called days.

So i believe that:
- Day One was Year 1000
- Day Two was Year 2000
- Day Three was Year 3000
- Day Four was Year 4000
- Day Five was Year 5000
- Day Six was Year 6000
- Day Seven was Year 7000 amd this is also the year of rest, or for us Mankind the 7th day is Rest.

Also makes more sense as, trees and plants and animals need time to grow and mature.

Im not saying God didnt make things grow really really fast, but what im saying from a person who reads alot about science and nature, things need time to mature and grow and also animals and even plants need to reproduce.

Also then comes mankind...

Then God said, "Let us make man in our image, after our likeness. And let them have dominion over the fish of the sea and over the birds of the heavens and over the livestock and over all the earth and over every creeping thing that creeps on the earth." (Gen 1:26)




So God created man in his own image, in the image of God he created him; male and female he created them. (Gen 1:27)



And God blessed them. And God said to them, "Be fruitful and multiply and fill the earth and subdue it and have dominion over the fish of the sea and over the birds of the heavens and over every living thing that moves on the earth." (Gen 1:28)



And God said, "Behold, I have given you every plant yielding seed that is on the face of all the earth, and every tree with seed in its fruit. You shall have them for food. (Gen 1:29)



And to every beast of the earth and to every bird of the heavens and to everything that creeps on the earth, everything that has the breath of life, I have given every green plant for food." And it was so. (Gen 1:30)



And God saw everything that he had made, and behold, it was very good. And there was evening and there was morning, the sixth day. (Gen 1:31)

Verse 28 is intresting.....And God blessed them. And God said to them, "Be fruitful and multiply and fill the earth and subdue it and have dominion over the fish of the sea and over the birds of the heavens and over every living thing that moves on the earth." (Gen 1:28)
 
Be Fruitful and multiply and fill the earth.....
 
It takes along period of time to have children, then for those children to grow up and have children of there own and so forth....
 
So i reckon this 7 Literal days is actually a 7000 year period of growth and maturity....
 
but if i am wrong then i am wrong...but i am just trying to work this thing out...because i got asked this question lately by kids....and also a guy i work with....
 
We are a generation that are evolving, and they need answers to these intresting and puzzling questions.
 
So what i am asking here is this....
 
Is the 7 Literal days of Creation acutally true or is there 1000 years for each of the days?
 
Remember to God a day is like a 1000 years.....
 
need bibical answers....
 
and personal thoughts as welll
 
 
Peace

Hey Robert, thanks for commenting on my blog! I think you're totally in the right to question the 6 day creation. I've never heard someone take the 'day is like 1000 years' thing and apply it to this. That's interesting. To me, it's God explaining in simple and poetic terms a very complex thing, so I don't get wrapped up at all in how long it took.


Glad to make your acquaintance. See you around!
