The correct instinct in 1890 should’ve been - “Yeah? Darwin’s micro is true and observable with the finches and moths, so what? His leap-of-faith macro evolution is garbage and still unproven and there are INDEED, dinosaur-class creatures described in the Bible, and yôm can mean eons depending...

You're frankly delusional. No one's thinking that... Everyone's thinking YIKES... You admitted the verse doesn't exist while still insisting that your interpretation is somehow not an interpretation. All while completely ignoring that Genesis 2:4 demolishes your simplistic equation of the...

You just conceded the entire argument. I asked where Genesis says each creation yôm was exactly twenty-four hours. Your answer: “It doesn't.” Correct. So “each creation yôm was exactly twenty-four hours” is not something Genesis says. It's a conclusion you impose upon what Genesis says...

This is simple.. Show me where Genesis says: “Each creation yôm was exactly twenty-four hours long.” Because if your entire position depends upon that proposition, you should be able to produce the verse. Otherwise you haven't defended the text. And Genesis itself already destroys the claim...

Of course you do; because you’re reading Israel’s 24-hour workweek back into God’s creation periods and assuming the durations must be identical. But what if the six yôm were simply six ordered spans of unknown duration possibly vast epochs? Thats not some modern compromise; Christians were...

What you’re describing is not discernment.. It’s a dangerous closed loop built on what you were probably taught from childhood. DAY = 24 HOURS. Then someone shows you that yôm can mean less than 24 hours, an ordinary day, or a much broader span depending on context. And Genesis itself proves...

Thats already been covered up above in detail. You must not be reading my comments all the way through.

You just reversed the burden of proof. I’m not claiming Genesis says, “These were definitely not 24-hour periods.” You’re claiming yôm must mean exactly 24 hours. So stop asking me: “Where does Scripture say it wasn’t 24 hours?” Thats not an escape hatch. The question is: Where does...

ʿErev (עֶרֶב, “evening”) and boqer (בֹּקֶר, “morning”) establish a recurring sequence; they do not, by themselves, define the length of each yôm (יוֹם) as 24 modern hours. You’re assuming that because your English KJV simplistically renders yôm as ‘day’ over and over. That’s like seeing the...

Apparently you missed this... Genesis 2:4 uses the same Hebrew word, yôm, much more broadly: “in the day that the LORD God made the earth and the heavens” There, yôm summarizes the entire creation event, not one isolated 24-hour period. So the same Hebrew word used for the numbered creation...

You do and it does. Genesis 1:21 places great sea creatures, sea monsters and dragons on Day Five. Humans are then created on Day Six in Genesis 1:26–27. The sun isn't even appointed to govern the day until Day Four. So insisting that Days 1–3 must already be rigid 24-hour solar days is...

There's no way to derive the actual duration of the Genesis creation “days” from the text with any certainty. Treating them as automatically equivalent to modern 24-hour calendar days goes beyond what the Hebrew alone can prove. The earliest Christians were not locked into the assumption that...

It absolutely does, you just looked up an English translation. I’m talking about the actual Hebrew text. Genesis 1:21 contains: הַתַּנִּינִם הַגְּדֹלִים — hattannînîm haggĕdolîm “the great tannînîm.” Tannîn is the ancient Hebrew word used elsewhere for a dragon, great serpent, or sea monster.

The claim that Genesis “left out” enormous ancient reptilian or monster-like creatures is false. The modern scientific term dinosaur wasn't coined until 1842, but the creature-category absolutely existed in the Bible. Genesis 1:21 says God created the “great tannînîm” Tannîn is the ancient...

And thats exactly how you get Star Wars looking like this. By "rightly dividing" the word of George Lucas.

Jay, no, I dont have the same problem. I'm not claiming Jesus secretly defined genea as an exact 40-year mathematical unit. You're claiming He meant a 1,024-year prophetic age. Those are completely different claims. I don't need Jesus to say: “By generation I mean exactly 40 years.” because...

Jay, this actually makes your problem worse. Yes, genea can have more than one possible sense. But a word having more than one possible meaning does not make those meanings interchangeable in every sentence. Context determines which meaning applies. It's like saying “Bat” can mean a flying...

Hal Lindsey made L. Ron Hubbard look restrained. At least Hubbard had the decency to call it science fiction.

John-Boy from The Waltons, leaning over the porch rail “I sure hope he finds that verse, Daddy.” As everybody just quietly stares into the night.

Jack, Until you can prove from the text that Jesus was talking about you and your generation thousands of years later, every prophetic conclusion you build on that assumption may as well be Star Wars. Because if the transfer is invented, everything downstream from it is fiction too. And...
