    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.
    Don'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?

    Well, then perhaps the 144,000 is not a real number but a symbolic number representing something in heaven too.
    Well, then perhaps the 7 days of creation is not a real number but a symbolic number representing billions of years ...

    No, 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.

    P.S. However, the the story of the serpent tempting Eve is likely to be symbolic, but not the creation.
