What about this?
Matthew 12:36
36 But I say unto you, That every idle word that men shall speak, they shall give account thereof in the day of judgment.
I find it hard to imagine that this is speaking of a literal day...how on earth will every man give account for every idle word in 24 hours????
Genesis 2:17
17 but you shall not eat of the tree of knowledge of good and evil. For in the day that you eat of it you shall surely die.
Isn't humanity continuing to eat of this tree (spiritually) every day until the close of the ages??
Perhaps there is a literal application as well as a spiritual application to the word "day". I find it interesting to seek out the spiritual application of the six days of creation.
Andrevan,
I think I'm with you in seeing this:
--- Quote ---God has not finished creating us into His image and likeness yet, so I'm not sure that we're in the 7th Day, because God is still creating mankind. Yes, all other life has been created past tense, because they are not being created into God's image, only Mankind. His work is not yet finished in this regard.

I wonder even if most of humanity is still in the 5th day spiritually speaking:
May God open our eyes on the matter, if it be in His will, :)
Peace,
Diana

We are in the 6 age because 6 is the number of a man, or the number of Man. 7 is also the number of completion, or perfection.

The early stories in Genesis are no more true then the parables of Jesus. They are not meant as historical accounts, but as moral lessons. How can a person eat of the fruit of the law or Jesus from a tree?

I think this is nonsense, IMO. See what happens when we compromise the Word of God with the ideas of men? Perhaps you could take us through the "moral lessons" of Genesis 1 & 2 and then go backwards from Noah to Adam and explain to us at what exact point we go from historical and genealogical records to some up-in-the-air symbolism of moral lessons and fictitious fruit eaten by real (or fictitious?) people.
We are told clearly in the NT when and to whome Jesus spoke in parables.
I find these verses quite clear as to where man is located in reference to the creation:
Mar 10:6 Yet from the beginning [a commencement, chief, beginning, origin, etc] of creation God makes them male and female.
Mar 10:7 On this account a man will be leaving his father and mother and will be joined to his wife,
Mar 10:8 and the two will be one flesh. So that no longer are they two, but one flesh."
So at the beginning of God's creation, He physically makes mankind male and female, and since then God has been creating them into His spiritual image, this part of the process is still going on, it is not yet complete.
We need not be intimidated by what "soft science" (forensic speculation) says, because it is always changing, the ideas and theories come and go, but the Word of God never changes or passes away.
Peace to you.
Andrevan.

First off you will only believe what you wish to believe. The bible never says how old the world is, and really does not say how long any thing took to be made. It say that the world was made or will be made in 7 yomes, but it also says that the world was made in 1 yome. As others have pointed out there was no day tell the 4th yome. So what ever a yome is it is not as day. The whole 7 yomes of creation is all about numerology.
People get Theory of evolution and Darwinism mixed up. Darwinism is a evil philosophy because it is racism is pseudo science. Theory of evolution is very sound, the problem is most people simply do not understand it. They think that evolution is all about mutation, like in some X-man comic book, and it is not. Theory of evolution works on three basic factors isolation, plastically of living organism, and genetic drift. The first thing you have to understand is that all living organism are plastic in nature, meaning that they are moldable in size and shape. Human do this all the time with domesticated animals, like dogs. All dogs are genetically wolves, but do not look much like wolves, and they come in all sizes. The other two factors relate, it take tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of generations for two isolated groups to become two different species, through genetic drift. Meaning that with each new generation the genes are slightly different. This why Dogs are still genetically wolves, the generations between your pet dog and any wolf is less then 1,000 generations.
