Genesis 1 (Part 2)
GenesisSteve Gregg
In this discourse, Steve Gregg discusses the controversies surrounding the meaning of "days" in the Genesis 1 creation story. While a surface reading of the text suggests that the universe is only a few thousand years old, mainstream science indicates that it is billions of years old. Therefore, some Christians reinterpret "day" to mean an epoch or age, rather than a 24-hour day, to harmonize with scientific evidence. Additionally, Gregg argues that the stars in the sky were created to carry information, with the constellations being associated with months and conveying knowledge that was meant to be known by early societies.
