→Young earth?: They couldn't get it that wrong.
So Philip you are really saying that you're hanging your entire beleif system on the infallibility of the transcribers of a single book? You're willing to admit the possiblity that after the "Six days of creation" that the universe unfolded based on the laws of physics with little or no supernatural intervention, but you absolutely positively reject the remotest possiblity that someone mistranslated something in Genesis, or that it is intended as allegory, and that perhaps God created the universe with the Big Bang, and set the Laws of Physics and Nature in place to allow the universe to unfold as we see it, and evolution to proceed as He intended? That is a very narrow view of God. [[User:QNA|QNA]] 07:40, 16 May 2007 (EDT)

:There have been so many translators, and so many commentators who know the original languages, it is beyond belief that they have all got it so wrong. I mean, it's not as though I'm relying on a single person's translation of it, or even anything close to that.
:Yes, I reject that ''everyone'' has mistranslated something in Genesis, partly because it would not be a single mistranslation, but a whole swag. It's not just a single reference to six days, but each day is counted off, the six days are mentioned in Exodus, and a couple of places in the New Testament make comments that are consistent with that. In other words, there are multiple lines of evidence in the Bible as to what the Bible is saying, not just a single questionable point.
:Also, the experts are apparently unanimous that the the creation and flood accounts in Genesis are not allegory.
:It is not a narrow view of God to take Him at His Word.
