[QUOTE="MANTI5, post: 7666017, member: 627711"] Found it for you with a quick search: "In the description of what happened on the first “day,” the Hebrew word used for light is ʼohr, light in a general sense; but concerning the fourth “day,” the word used is ma‧ʼohr′, which refers to the source of light. "Contrary to the claims of some Fundamentalists, Genesis does not teach that the universe, including the earth and all living things on it, was created in a short period of time in the relatively recent past. Rather, the description in Genesis of the creation of the universe and the appearance of life on earth harmonizes with many recent scientific discoveries." That's the only bone I'll throw. Like I said, read what I wrote or not but it's there and explains clearly many of the things discussed in this thread from an opposing view. My goal is met and I have no further need to pick apart pieces when the whole is so nicely defined. [/QUOTE]
