In reply to the discussion: Do the Quran and Bible Really Teach The Universe Was Created in 6 Days? [View all]guillaumeb
(42,649 posts)27. And I recognize that you are a Biblical literalist,
and one who refuses to admit the existence of metaphor in the Bible.

Thank you for the illustrations.

Well, no; the article says nothing about that rather important 'evening and morning' construction

How did Augustine explain away the repeated 'evening and morning'?

I have always thought no one knows for sure just how long a biblical day is.
