I Have Serious Problems With Fundamentalist Christians And Their Creationist Theories. Although I Believe That Scripture Is Divinely Inspired And Infallible, I Have A Hard Time Going Along With The Belief That The Whole Creation Process Occurred In Six Twenty-four Hour Days.

I Have A Hard Time Figuring How Twenty-four Hour Days Could Have Been Measured Before That.
