Does 1 day in the Bible = to millions of years?

time is nothing to god

Read your Bible again.

In Genesis 1:1 it says:

In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth.

This refers to a dateless past, it could be thousands, millions, billions, trillions. Nobody knows. All the Bible talks about is a Creation event that happens on the earth in 7 days which is a 24hr. day, not the total creation event. We know the dinosaurs are real because of the evidence of fossils. Just because the Bible details the Creation of Humans and other things doesn't mean that they were an original creation. The Bible is just detailing this creation event. It could very well be that God has created and judged other forms of life in the past on this earth before the time of Adam and Eve.

Evolution is such a joke, it's ridiculous.

The earth is not millions of years old... It's about 10,000 max. The carbon dating on dinosaurs and stuff proves that they were around more recently.

God did create the universe in 6 literal 24 hour days. and rested on the 7th.

A lot of modern people who believe in God but not dogmatic religion take the creation story to be a general story, not true fact. In that sense, many modern biblical scholars read the "days" as eons in order to keep up with our current knowledge of the age of the Earth and Universe.

Those that think the dinosaurs died out millions of years ago are perhaps unaware of the large amount of evidence indicating that they lived recently alongside man.

There are many written accounts and depictions of dinosaurs.

Remember that the word dinosaur was invented in 1841. Before that people used names like dragon.

People from all over the world have accounts of dinosaurs: the Chinese who have incorporated it into their lunar calendar, The Welsh who have the dragon in their flag; The account of the Saxon Beowolf; The native american thunderbird; and other stories from many other nations. The Romans even made mosaics of them.

The Bible (the book of Job) has graphic descriptions of two creatures (Leviathan and Behemoth) which do not exists today and are almost certainly what we would now call dinosaurs. The Behemoth had a tail like a cedar tree.

Furthermore, dinosaur fossils have even been found containing blood cells - hardly 65 million years old.

But check the evidence for yourself - don't by brainwashed by dogmatic evolutionists who don't want us to think for ourselves :)

As for 'day', the Hebrew word for day is 'yom'.

As in English this can have three meanings: the daylight part of a day, a 24 hour day, or a long period of time.

Eg: "in my grandfathers's day it took 3 days to walk to London, travelling by day".

As in English, the meaning is determined by the context.

In Hebrew, the word yom always means 24 hours when it is used with the phrase 'morning and evening'. And it also always means 24 hours when it is used with a number, as in 'first day'.

In Genesis 1, the word yom is used with both a number *and* the expression 'morning and evening', for each of the days of creation. The author is emphasizing the intended meaning of creation being in 6 days of 24 hours.

Here is some more info:

‘… probably, so far as I know, there is no professor of Hebrew or Old Testament at any world-class university who does not believe that the writer(s) of Genesis 1–11 intended to convey to their readers the ideas that:

1. creation took place in a series of six days which were the same as the days of 24 hours we now experience

2. the figures contained in the Genesis genealogies provided by simple addition a chronology from the beginning of the world up to later stages in the biblical story

3. Noah’s flood was understood to be world-wide and extinguish all human and animal life except for those in the ark.’

Prof James Barr, Oriel Professor of the interpretation of the Holy Scripture, Oxford University, England

A number and the phrase 'evening and morning' are used for each of the six days of Creation

Outside Genesis 1, yom is used with a number 410 times, and each time it means an ordinary day.

Outside Genesis 1, yom is used with the word 'evening' or 'morning' 23 times

In Genesis 1:5, yom occurs in context with the word 'night'. Outside of Genesis 1, 'night' is used with yom 53 times, and each timeit means an ordinary day.

The plural of yom, which does not appear in Genesis 1, can be used to communicate a longer time period (e.g. 'in those days'). Adding a number here would not make sense.

There are words in Biblical Hebrew (such as loam or qedem) that are very suitable for communicating long periods of time, or indefinite time, but none ofthese words are used in Genesis 1.

One day to God is LIKE a thousand years. Merely meaning that a short time to God is a long time to us.

No. Each day of creation had a morning and evening. Clearly each day was of 24 hour duration. Exodus 20:11.

Jesus got killed at 33,

33 X 365 days = 12045 X million years = Older than Greek Mythology.

more like 12 billion years

god is powerful he did it in 6 days

in some parts
