To all you people arguing about length of days and whatnot I say WHO CARES! Is that the type of stuff you think is important when reading the Bible?? If so you need to check yourself and start over people.

I particularly love Enzo 's comment... "see how many stupidity there are " ...this is obviously a person who is qualified to judge stupidity lol. In fact Enzo and whoever else may be reading this, there are zero contradictions. To one who is only reading partially or doesn 't understand who is saying what, there may appear to be a few. However, when you read further or look at who is speaking, you will find clarity. I have been studying the Bible for a few years now, read it cover to cover and have ready many of the books multiple times looking meticulously for mistakes I have yet to find one. I have also gone through much of the list in the book "1001 contradictions of the Bible "...I finally stopped when none of them stumped me and had very clear resolution. "Contradictions " can be found repeatedly when you only read one verse or don 't understand who is speaking. My suggestion is to actually read it for yourself like very few people actually do. At least so you know what you are talking about when you make such ignorant claims.

.........And the evening and the morning were the second day.How far we 've all fallen from the gospel Truth into the depths of human doctrine.The keepers of the sabbath friday sunset to saturday sunset ought to understand that it is not only the sabbath to be kept thus but all days, according to God 's calendar, are such.The Roman 's, in their desperation for absolute power and or persecution of the true Christian, introduced their own 24 hour day calendar midnight to midnight as 1 day calendar and thereafter became even more aggressive in the persecution of the sabbath keeper that the Sabbath worship ended up being sunday worship as those foxes were the worshippers of the Sun.This is a large part of the wolves that Apostle Paul warned the church about in tears.We ought to go back to the beginning so as to undo all these lies and the confusion that catholicism, satanism and tradition have fed us as propaganda.

I could be wrong but I think the answer to Rev Canon is that when God said there was evening and there was morning, a second day he is counting like we do in the sense that from 1am-12pm that is our morning and then from 1pm-12am is the evening/night. So no it was still 24 hours because even on the first day he said there was evening and there was morning, a first day.

Joseph's comment on 2012-12-16 07:32:57:

Heaven, as the firmament in Genesis 1:6-8, is interpreted by some as the sky, and it is also understood by some as spiritual Heaven, a spiritual firmament. The waters that Heaven divides that are above and below may also be interpreted as spiritual waters.

REV CANON SAMUEL KAHENE's comment on 2011-05-12 05:27:58:

I JUST WANT TO KNOW , ABOUT CHAPTER 1 VERSE 8, IT SAYS , there was evening and there was morning, a second day. BUT THERE IS NO MORNING AND EVENING THE ANOTHER DAY , WHY? BECAUSE IT SEEMS TO BE THE DAY IS TWELVE HOURS, BUT TO DAY WE CALL A DAY WHEN IT IS 24HRS, MY OPINION IS WE BETTER CALL THERE WAS MORNING AND EVENING THE DAY ONE, THEN THERE WAS EVENING AND MORNING THE SECOND DAY ,WE WOULD HAVE COUNTING CLEARLY, ACCORDING TO THE BIBLE.
IF YOU HAVE ANY GOOD ANSWER YOU MAY GIVE ME SUCH THAT I CAN BE IN GOOD POSITION.

Enzo's comment on 2010-08-07 17:15:45:

As usual a nonsensical explanation of illogical facts told for credulous ignorant people.
Read well and see how many stupidity & contradictions there are.
