I got a few minutes.

Our views are very simular.

Here is something a wrote a few years ago;

Why the Genesis day is not the same as an Earth day.
The word day has been used to represent many things. I the Bible it has been used to represent the Earth’s day, a man’s life, and a creation period. A planetary day is just a planets rotation and it’s relative as to what planet you are on. Planetary days vary from planet to planet. Venus’ day is 243 Earth days. A Mars day is closer to the Earth at 1.026 Earth days. The Moons day is around 29 Earth days.

I also have a hard time believing that God would be tired after 6 Earth days. Scientist believe the Universe is about 15 billion years old. I can see God being tired after 15 billion years, but after 6 Earth days? God is stronger and more powerful than that. Six 24 hour Earth days are not going to tire God out.

I have two Hypotheses on Genesis. According to my second Hypothesis, the actual day night cycle did not start and shows that the Earth day and Genesis Day can not be the same.

Hypothesis I
The First Genesis day picks up about 10 billion Years after the Big Bang. It talks about the Solar Nebula (The formless Earth). It also talks about the Sun starting its Nuclear power (Let their be light).

The Second and Genesis day talks about the molten Earth cooling and separating into it’s different layers- the Core, Mantel, crust, continents, oceans and atmosphere. The Sun and Moon are also forming, but they, along with the stars, can not be seen from the surface of the Earth.

The Third Genesis day talks about Pangaea splitting apart, and life evolving on the Earth.

The Fourth Genesis day the atmosphere has cleared enough for the Sun, Moon and stars to be seen from the surface of the Earth.

On the Fifth Genesis day, life continues to evolve as it spreads all over the Earth.

On the Sixth Genesis day, life continues to Evolve. Man evolves.

Hypothesis II
The First Genesis day starts with the Big Bang (Let there be light). The Galaxies full of young new stars separate the light from the darkness. The Earth has yet to form, so it is formless. Under this Hypothesis, this first Genesis day would be about 9 to 11 billion years long.

The Second Genesis day talks about the molten Earth cooling and separating into it’s different layers- the Core, Mantel, and crust. The Sun and Moon are also forming, but they, along with the stars, can not be seen from the surface of the Earth.

The Third Genesis day talks about the molten Earth cooling on the surface so that land starts to form. Water also pools on the surface.

On the Fourth Genesis day, the Sun lights up. The solar winds start up and blow away all the remaining interstellar dust so that the Sun, Moon and stars are visible from the surface of the Earth. Before the young Sun fired up, the Solar system was full of interstellar dust, left over from the formation of the planets. Once the Sun fired up, the heat and stellar winds it generated would drive this dust away.

On the Fifth Genesis day, life starts to evolve as it spreads all over the Earth.

On the Sixth Genesis day life continues to Evolve. Man evolves.

Evolution and God

Why it make sense God created us through evolution.

If God snapped his fingers and man was instantly created from the dust on the ground than why is man so imperfect? If God personally built us with his own hands why did he have to gives us laws and guidelines?- we should be perfect.

But what if God used Evolution to create us. Think about this, he got single cell life started on the Earth and let it go. Did he guide the evolution to suit his needs, or did he just let it go, knowing beings like us humans would eventually result? –I don’t know. Perhaps the Dinosaurs were on an evolutionary dead end and God nudged an asteroid to the Earth. Or perhaps one of God’s natural laws is ‘If a species does not evolve intelligence after X amount of years and learn how to stop impactor, then they need to move over and let another species try.’

Once man reached a certain level on the evolutionary scale, God gave us laws to follow through Moses. When we reached another level, God entered our physical universe as a man- Jesus- to experience life as we know it and to build a relationship with us.

God having to give us laws and guidance makes much more sense if we started out as imperfect animals than it does if God instantly created us.

And why did God do all of this? Perhaps he wanted unique, independent, intelligent individuals for some purpose. What that purpose could be, I have no ideal, but I hope to find out.

Another question: Do we have brothers who evolved on other planets in other star systems. I think we do. God would expect intelligent life to evolve on countless planets throughout this vast universe.
