David !! Honestly, this is one of the sorriest posts you have ever written. First, an atheist mocks God and I am no atheist.
Secondly, the reason you are confused with what I said (144 hours of time to speak the words of creation that took only 26 seconds to actually speak) is rather simple -- you have somehow lost the context of my statement. My comments go the the notion that "day" is not a 24 hour period. To say that it is metaphorical does not mean that God did not create the world and even in the sequence depicted -- at least not to me. Such an admission , on my part, does not mean that I believe the Genesis account to be "scientific" as we understand that term , today. Look -- do you really believe that God worked so hard in His creation activity that he needed a 24 hour period of time to rest up !!!?? And "rest up " for what? Com'on David, this is impossible.

Are you mocking the concept that God created the world through faith and speaking? What does how long it takes for him to speak words have to do with how long it took for the world to come into being? I don't understand your point.David Miller----- Original Message -----From: [EMAIL PROTECTED]Sent: Wednesday, March 22, 2006 5:29 PMSubject: Re: [TruthTalk] Fw: Williams on CreationismSo which fundamentalist version of creation do you support. That A & E were spirit people. A 6000 year date or a 10,000 or an "unknown" e.t. ? The version that says it took God 144 hours to speak words that can be spoken in 24 seconds !!! I just did it in 24 big ones !! including a drink of water because my mouth was getting dry.Consensus has NOTHING to do with !! Rad Fundies cannot agree on much of anything. Which version goes into the school system ??? We are still waiting??jd-------------- Original message --------------

It is the liberal loonies like this Archbishop of Canterbury who are doing this.David Miller
