How is it that you missed this?
There was no direct contextual evidence in your presentation that the
meaning should be taken figuratively. Let me put it another way. If the
Holy Spirit was trying to communicate to us a sequence of events that took
millions of years, then it seems to me that he is not a very good
communicator. The use of First Day, Second Day, etc. and Evening and
Morning are time references that are not normally indicative of millions
of
years. Was he trying to be mysterious or ambiguous in your opinion?
