Question
In reading one of your answers regarding Creation, you state that the Bible is not clear about the time span of each day. How then do you explain why every Bible which I have read state after each day of creation, that the evening and the morning became another day.
Good Day George:
I have no problem with the translation of Genesis being "evening and morning the xxx day." I, along with many others, question whether the creation story should be interpreted literally. I believe that there is good evidence that the "days" of Genesis were not meant to be interpreted as literal 24 hr days. A book by Hugh Ross, "The Genesis Debate" might be helpful to you in this matter.
God Bless You,
Sal

I love the Catholic Church and her book, the Bible. I will try to answer your questions with an emphasis on God*s Word. I believe the Catholic Church is the Church established by Jesus Christ for the salvation of the world. I can answer questions pertaining to the biblical basis for Catholic beliefs. I can also explain the beliefs of Jehovah*s Witnesses, Mormons, and Seventh Day Adventists as related to Catholic doctrine.
