Litt om gener og skapelsen etc...

Har ikke lest alt dette (33 sider) . . . http://www.skypoint.com/~waltzmn/Evolution.html Even on Earth, a day is six months long at the north and south poles. Away from the poles, different places have daylight at different times. If, as some have argued, it was sunset (or high noon, or sunrise) at Jerusalem when the first light came, then the first day over the Pacific Ocean was not evening and morning but morning and evening. And then there is relativity. Time dilation. For a person or object moving at a speed near the velocity of light, a subjective 24-hour period could be a hundred years, or a thousand, or even two billion. If you went to a planet around Alpha Centauri or Epsilon Eridani, and it had intelligent inhabitants, and you were translating the Bible, how would you translate Genesis? "And there was evening, and there was morning, the first 86400 seconds, where one second is defined as 9192631770 periods of the light emitted by cesium-133 as it shifts electrons between the two lowest states"? Go ahead, try it in English and see how many converts you get. So what is a day? Answer: Unless otherwise specified, it's almost any period of time. Classical Hebrew doesn't have words for "geological epoch," or "plasma," or "strong nuclear force." (It does have a word for dust, and -- interestingly in light of Genesis 3:19 -- we are made of the interstellar dust which gave rise to stars and planets.) If you're going to tell the story of the Big Bang in classical Hebrew, what can you do except use a word like "day" for "epoch" and "water" (i.e. liquid, fluid) for "plasma"?
