Time Gap

This is somewhat of a response to Robin's Blog

So, as I'm sure we all know and/or have heard the time references in the Bible are extremely different from those that we get from science. But, as we talk about in class, you need to take the Bible as myth sometimes. Imagine if the Bible wasn't written in this mythological way for example. And instead of the two really cool creation stories we got : "Billions of years ago there was a huge cosmic disturbance in which the entire universe was created, over millions of years stars formed from the cooler particles and ... " Well, you get the point. Anywho, what I'm driving at is that the Bible isn't and never was designed as a text book for the history of the world. And even if it was written completely historically 'accurate' the people who copied/published/edited the bible would just see that kind of talk as senseless ramblings.

We can go about making excuses about how the Bible was actually true about creation as we see it today by just assuming that things were left out. But that just seems to follow more into the blasphemy genre of people making the Bible say/mean what they want it to mean.
