RE: Were the seven days of creation in Genesis seven twenty four hour periods? - The implications.
If I am correct, then your post is asserting that macroevolution (the gain in unique information through mutations, and the change in kinds of life) is allowed in scripture. How do you reconcile the multitude of animals and supposed pre-human life having to die in order to bring forth complex life (according to modern evolutionary theory) and the claim in Genesis 1:31 that it was "very good"?
In the literal 24 hour "day" interpretation, this doesn't give any theological problem, but in an old earth creation theory where mutations give way to complex life, there is a lot of death before the fall of Genesis 3.
To be covered, hopefully next week or the week thereafter...
