::::::::I differ that "6 days" is the only Christian way to interpret the Bible. Of course "6 days" won't fit with evolution, this is one of the reasons Pope Benedict said "Truth does not speak against truth". Way back on this page, you asked me for the evolutionist view. I did some research, and tried to answer you as best I could, but I must say I wish I hadn't. [[User:Myrtle|Myrtle]] 06:02, 25 July 2007 (EDT)

:::::::::I don't know of any Christian who understands the six days to mean anything other than six ordinary days ''except as a result of trying to make it fit with the secular view''. (See [[Old Earth Creationism#Criticism]].) The point is, the Bible is ''very'' clear about it being six days, and linguistically it can't mean anything else.
:::::::::As for the quote from Pope Benedict, if truth doesn't speak against truth, and one says six days and the other says millions of years, why is it that you (and so many others) take the millions of years literally rather than the six days?
:::::::::I asked you for the evolutionist view because you were trying to defend it. If you are unable to, that's fine, I don't expect you to do the impossible.
