In reply to:
[color:"blue"]As I said on one of these psots, when I aske my pastor about Covenant Seminary he said Bryan Chapell believes that because the original texts cannot be interpreted conclusively that it was actually 24 hours, that he believes the men at the seminary have the right to take either interpretation.



(Fred) As much as I appreciate Bryan Chapell, he is sorely mistaken about this. All reputable Hebrew scholars will tell you that there is absolutely no ambiguity at all with Genesis as to what Moses is trying to convey. He is saying that God historically created in 6 ordinary, 24 hour days. I personally would like to hear what from the language and text of Genesis compels Chapell to believe there is no clarity here. I mean, this ain't brain surgery. Any ideas?
