Wrong, Genesis 1:5 "And God called the light Day and the darkness he

Well, that goes along with VIA Rail Canada's timetable. Example:
Train 85 Mon-Sat is shown as "X7" (except Sunday)
Train 685 Sun is shown as "7"
That usage is somewhat standard in the railroad (non-USA) and airline industry.
Therefore, Sunday is the 7th day, and we've resolved this issue, maybe!

That is the transportation calendar. It has the advantage
of putting Sunday in the same weekend as the preceding Saturday.
I have never seen a civil calendar that put Monday as the first day of
the week.
