quote:No, my Friend, that is a reference to the fact that, in heaven, there is no time. We have linear time on earth because we, as mortal humans need it. In heaven there is no time. God is from eternity to eternity.
Exactly. God is eternal, a billion years compared to infinite eternity is minuscule. It's nothing, like a single day to us. To condense God to a six day week is to limit Him and His power.
Ancient Israelites had no concept of billions of years, so how do you explain creation to them? You condense it. Today we're able to see just how vast and infinite God really is. We're able to see more of the process of creation. We clearly see that He isn't a microwave popping everything into existence within a week.
Like you said, God doesn't measure time in the same way we do because of our limited understanding. To limit God's creation to a six day week is to do Him an injustice. It brings Him down to our level because billions of years is a hard concept for some to grasp. To discover just how old the earth and universe and the process in which it was created is a small display of just how great God is.
Instead of trying to limit God to fit your understanding, why not just accept the fact that science can reveal how God works. One day to us can be a thousand, a million, or even a billion years to an infinite being.
