Why six days?; first the bible says that God created the heavens and the earth in 6 days, this is what the text suggests when read literally, as it is supposed to be read. The bible gives the significance for this in the book of Exodus
Exodus 31:12-16; "...the Lord spoke to Moses. Speak thou also unto the children of Israel, saying, verily my Sabbaths ye shall keep: for it is a sign between me and you throughout your generations; that ye may know that I am the Lord that doth sanctify you. Ye shall keep the Sabbeth therefore; for it is holy unto you: everyone that defileth it shall surely be put to death: for whosoever doeth any work therein, that soul shall be cut off among his people. Six days may work be done; but in the seventh is the Sabbeth of rest, holy to the Lord: whosoever doeth any work in the Sabbeth, he shall surely be put to death.
Wherefore the children of Israel shall keep the Sabbeth, to observe the Sabbeth throughout their generations for a perpetual covenant"......this was the writers of the bible were making, Genesis states six days of creation and the seventh for rest, for it became a symbol ofthier covenant with the creator, which was ratified in the Fourth Commandments "For in six days the Lord mad ethe heavens and the earth, the sea, and all that is in them, and rested the seventh day. Therefore the Lord blessed the Sabbeth day and hallowed it. This is what the bible teaches, THIS is what the Christians were first taught, This is why they worship on Sundays, THIS is biblical truth, SO, why have they droppedthis in favour of the "thousand year day" theory? could it be denial and deciet?
in answer to tise of you that believe the sun was not being created until the fourth day; As Christians you are taught that God is omnipotent, thus the first thing God created for the earth was light - Genesis 1:3 - "this light was then replaced by the constant power and energy of the Sun on the fourth DAY"
Why do modern Christians refute the six days of the bible? the answer is simple; Science. Science has proven that the earth is billions of years old, that he Universe is older still, that the earth crusts and fossil layers are full of of decayed fossilised lifeforms that have been there for hundreds of millions of years. This fact leads to the realization that death, bloodshed, disease, thorns and suffering MUST have existed BEFORE the , supposed, original sin of Eve. This has led to creationist using Scientific facts to influence their interpretation of the Genesis text all the while trying to keep the credibility of the original sin intact, for without the original sin of Eve, there would be no need for the Atonement of Jesus, the main doctrine of the Christian faith.
please read the content of Genesis again without external influence as the text is written, then you will realise that the writers meant to mean what they actually written, then you will realise that the modern day creationist theories are nothing but propaganda released to deceive the faithful and justify their doctrine.
This series of questions was inspired by a visit from two Jehovah's Witnesses. Although the OT is not as significant to Christians it is by way of the original sin. Modern creationist are trying to mould scientific fact together with biblical scripture, endorsing neither, evolution nor the six 24hr day creation. This "middle ground" is an insult to both, if you want to project the bible as the written word of God, then you should not have the audacity to change his meaning. Hypocrisy has become the way of the Christian.
