What's especially funny is that the meaning of "day" has been largely lost in translation- if I understand corectly, the original meaning in the original language wasn't specifically 24 hours, but interchangable with "age" or "epoch". So people aren't even reading scripture literally, they're reading an over-simplistic interpretation of scripture literally.
- saraid216 13y agoThat pretty much describes all literalist interpretations of the Bible. If you want to be shocked and amazed sometime, research End Times theories. It's incredible how much effort goes into "reading it literally".
