RdrQ: Six Days?

I was just reading through Exodus (really for the first time in my Christian life) and God says Himself that He created the world in 6 days and rested on the 7th. Which is why the Sabbath was supposed to be holy to the Jews. If God states that he only needed 6 days to created both the heaven and the earth then why are people still arguing for an old-Earth creation theory?? ~Kristi

Kristi, that's just the point. God did say it. "Remember the Sabbath to keep it holy ... for in six days the Lord made heaven and earth and all that in them is." (Exodus 20:8,11a) The Ten Commandments ... is the only part of the Bible that God wrote -- Himself! He didn't use a scribe or a preacher or a even a prophet or an oracle. He wrote it Himself! So why are peopel still arguing for an Old-Earth creation theory?

Fear of Man ... is the answer. I go with, "Let God be true and every man a liar." And y'know ... that's majorly the way it usually works out, anyway. You can trust the Bible. Some theories may go against it. But the science data never will. Yours, Dr J
