Why can't it be the way it is written? Well - I wouldn't know the answer to that, Judy. I am talking about what is written. 26 seconds versus 144 hours is about what is written. Your little proof text has nothing to do with the topic of creation and this Genesis account.

Me, a shotgun, five weeks, a trot line, lots of dead bluejays (their breast meat is the same as dove), all the wild mushrooms, onions, clover, young cattails (looks a bit like celery) I could eat -- watching the cute little Humming Birds bite and devour one another -- probably the meanest little animal I have ever sat watched (hey, it beat T.V.) -- you remember that story ? sure glad I speak the truth (in love, of course.)

If I can have no opinion about the creation because I wasn't there, then you are excluded for the same reason. Certainly I wasn't there, but I know how to read AND comprehend at the same time. That ability came my way shortly after learning to walk upright. When will it happen to you?

"All flesh is grass, and all the goodliness thereof is 
as the flower of the field; The grass withereth, the

Use the Bible as a battle ground AND YOU WILL CONDEMN YOUR CHILDREN TO HELL. Get the educator to admit that his world of knowing is not that much different than the Christian's and you have common ground with which to discuss. You never fight your opponent in his backyard !! 

Since TT is almost over - one more story. My oldest daughter came to me as a14 year old with her first job. Her boss was an atheist. She tried to convert him and got beat up in the process. "Dad, how do I defend inspiration to Bruce?" 

"Julie, you don't even try. Do this -- explain to him that all of the writers of the New Testament scriptures were murdered for their beliefsand then ask him, 'Bruce, don't you think you should at least examine what it was they died for ?"
He told her he was prepared for any response but that one !!That opened a door that was slammed shut two weeks later in his drowning death at the lake. Was there light in life because of that talk? I like to think there was.
