6 OF GODS DAYS which is eternal.
People keep forgetting, or conveniently over-looking. In Genesis, the 1st and 2nd day had already passed, before the Sun and Moon were put in place. Clearly, this means that the "days" recorded in Genesis couldn't correctly be interpreted as the number of revolutions of Earth around our Sun. The bible tells us that God's time is wholly separate from ours. Whatever a "day" means in God's realm, one thing it most certainly does NOT mean--so says the bible--is the same amount of time as an Earth "day."
The bible completely allows for the possibility of evolution--but for one thing. It says God created human beings separately... meaning the bible--in my opinion--does not allow for human beings simply evolving from apes. And, I think there is solid common sense evidence right in front of us that there is a clear and major line of demarcation separating primates from humans. If mankind evolved from apes, I think it would be evident by way of many transitional beings roaming the Earth who are part ape and part man.
Of course, one could argue that many Atheists could very well be the missing ape-human link, and I'd have a difficult time countering that argument.
