:::These ideas are based, in part on 2 Peter 3:8 where we are told that, for God, a day is as a thousand years. The idea is not relay uncommon in some circles and, if this site is to be truly an Encyclopedia, it obviously should explore them in a Neutral Manner. I am starting to get the impression that only one version of Creationism is relay welcome here.  I am sure that this is a mistake on my part but I wonder if somebody could confirm this?

:::: Yes, I realise that some quote that verse, but fail to quote the rest of it ("and a thousand years is as a day").  Also, it says that a day is ''as'' a thousand years, not a day ''is'' a thousand years.  Further, the word translated "day" in Genesis cannot, in context, mean anything other than an ordinary day (see [[Creation week]]).  I'm glad that you started the article on the Gap theory and expanded some other articles, as our coverage of them was lacking, but really, the YEC view is the only one that actually fits what the Bible says, so this encyclopedia is not going to treat other views as though they have equal validity.  (I accept that the first part of that last sentence you might well not agree with, but I'm prepared to back that up.)  [[User:Philip J.
