You’re willing to accept that the 7 days are not 'days,' why are you so adamant against the idea that G-d used evolution as the means by which He created mankind? So what if the final day when He created man in his likeness took 3 million +/- years? As I pointed out an eon ago in this thread, from my discussions with scientists that are Christians or Jews, this is how they reconcile the facts of evolution with their belief in a higher power.

I discount the idea that God used evolution to create mankind because of two basic reasons, the first being the more dominant:
1) The Bible teaches otherwise and since by extensive personal study I have come to recognize the Bible as the word of God, I take it as truth.
2) There are too many great big, gaping, gigantic, illogical, irrational holes in evolutionary theory for me to scientifically accept it. When I said I have examined evolution from a scientific standpoint, I meant it. To me, it just doesn't make sense. When one believes in intelligent design... those problems vanish. So I apply Occam's Razor and creation wins.
