Pilgrim,

I agree of course that it could have been the first day, but I see some tensions in the text that keep me from fully accepting this.

Gen 1:31, 2:2 says, "And God saw everything that he had made, and, behold, it was very good. And there was evening and there was morning, the sixth day....And on the seventh day God finished his work which he had made; and he rested on the seventh day from all his work which he had made." This to me says that the sixth day (Adam's first) was completed and there was no fall "yet," for it was called "very good." Thus the day is IMHO shown to end and then we see God resting on the seventh day (other interpretations are of course possible). We also have the naming of all the animals and his little nap that he took—a busy day to say the least (of course, it would even have been busier had he fallen <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/drop.gif" alt="" />). Thus, I still wonder. <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/shrug.gif" alt="" />
