Originally posted by wolfgang59Don't overlook the word "perhaps" and also when have I ever said that there was not one thing written in the Holy Bible that was not meant to be interpreted in a symbolic way?
So some of the bible can be symbolic?
What a hypocrite you are!!
Remember this?
We young earthers have chosen to believe the Holy Bible
Believe the bits you want and discard the rest as symbolic?
Who are you to decide?
A fool, hypocrite, cheat and liar.

Originally posted by wolfgang59No, they are real days because they are identified as evening and morning and the 7th day is observed as a Sabbath Day of rest by the Jews today in honor of the day God rested after the creation events. It is clear to me that these days are not symbolic, but real 7 days as we understand 7 days today along with the Jews.
Well, then perhaps the 7 days of creation is not a real number but a symbolic number representing billions of years ...
P.S. However, the the story of the serpent tempting Eve is likely to be symbolic, but not the creation.
