I don't see why it is impossible for God to have created us through eviolution. Why is it so evil. And just a random fact here The Bibles 7 days accout is actually a pretty acturate compliation of how scientist think the world as we know it was created. (exacpt the whole it happened in only 7 days part of it)


Maybe I deal with this so much that I'm just able to interpret typos as though they don't exist. But the seven days of creation are not an accurate, or even pretty accurate, account of things. It is, however, a reflection and deliberate mutation of the same pre-Chaldean astrology that names and sequences our days of the week to this day.

On the first day, the day of the sun, we get light.
On the second day, the day of the moon, the waters retreat, revealing the land; do note that the moon causes tidal forces that affect the waters.
On the third day, the day of Mars, we get plants. The red planet is associated with fire, blood and war, but also with labour (such as agriculture.)
On the fourth day, the day of Mercury, the signs of the heavens are revealed. The swift planet is a symbol of water and messenger-gods.
On the fifth day, the day of Jupiter, the sea and sky are populated with subjects for the chief god, the lord of sea and sky Marduk. Jupiter, the bright "star" of the night sky, represents majesty, and in many pantheons is the seat and symbol of the chief god.
On the sixth day, the day of Venus, we get land animals including humans. Venus corresponds with one (or sometimes two) goddesses, invariably linked to love, sexuality, and fertility, and no wonder, if you've ever seen the Evening Star or Morning Star.
And on the seventh day, the day of Saturn, there is rest. Saturn is the symbol of time and its slow passage, so slow that it seems to not move from day to day.
