As a "literalist" I fell into the same trap that secularists & some Christians do. Those who don't do the proper research and take some of the misinterpreted words of parts the Bible literally. The Holy Bible's day, week, month, or year is not necessarily equivalent to our measurements. I don't have many answers but I would discuss with you further, some day, over a pale Amontillado but not on this wacky blog.
Instead, let's toast to global warming, good vaccines, improved genetically modified food, the people's Government, er, better delete that one, and other conventional shibboleths that we've grown to understand, accept, and love.
