Taking pot shots at fundamentalists is fun, but is really too easy. The skeptics would be better off aiming at a really difficult target like Augustine - who (they might be a little worried to discover) can still shoot back some 1600 years later. Like most other real theologians of that time and since, Augustine was very clear that the opening chapters of Genesis were making theological statements and were not really intended to describe literal, chronological events.
- giancarlostoro 11y agoGenesis 1 is like software development. Each day is a milestone, and God knows how long a day is regardless of having the sun there or not. We can nitpick all we want, but He wouldn't be God if He didn't know more than we did. Even in the small things He humbles people. In any way, I suggest what someone else mentioned, read John instead of Genesis and start from there.
