I agree it want effect are salvation but i back nether view i see the possiblities of both so ill just leave it open until i go to heaven an find out....
Fair enough. I used to feel that way too. But lately I've like God is pushing me toward apologetics. For me, it no longer sits well for -- not knowing. I feel like he wants me to seek out the truth. And in doing so, I feel my relationship with Him growing.

Gen 1:5 And God called the light Day, and the darkness he called Night. And the evening and the morning were the first day.


I believe the 6 days God created all things are 6 literal days,for after each day it says,the morning and the evening were the first day,the second day,and so forth.

Gen 1:11 And God said, Let the earth bring forth grass, the herb yielding seed, and the fruit tree yielding fruit after his kind, whose seed is in itself, upon the earth: and it was so.
Gen 1:12 And the earth brought forth grass, and herb yielding seed after his kind, and the tree yielding fruit, whose seed was in itself, after his kind: and God saw that it was good.

Gen 1:20 And God said, Let the waters bring forth abundantly the moving creature that hath life, and fowl that may fly above the earth in the open firmament of heaven.
Gen 1:21 And God created great whales, and every living creature that moveth, which the waters brought forth abundantly, after their kind, and every winged fowl after his kind: and God saw that it was good.

Gen 1:24 And God said, Let the earth bring forth the living creature after his kind, cattle, and creeping thing, and beast of the earth after his kind: and it was so.
Gen 1:25 And God made the beast of the earth after his kind, and cattle after their kind, and every thing that creepeth upon the earth after his kind: and God saw that it was good.

Gen 1:26 And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth.
Gen 1:27 So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them.
Gen 1:28 And God blessed them, and God said unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth, and subdue it: and have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over every living thing that moveth upon the earth.

Gen 5:3 And Adam lived an hundred and thirty years, and begat a son in his own likeness, after his image; and called his name Seth.

Some people say which came first the chicken or the egg,which obviously the chicken came first,for God did not use evolution,or even created young things that would grow,but everything He created was outright the full creation of it,in it's adult state,and then they reproduced from there.

Some people might say they do not believe it is 6 literal days,for they might not believe how all the creation can be done so fast,but God is an omnipresent Spirit,which the Bible says the heaven and the heaven of heavens cannot contain God,so God does not have to move anywhere,for He is already there.

God does not move from spot to spot to create,but He can create everything at the same time,for His Spirit is everywhere,and He does not have to move,for He is already there.

God can create a million worlds in the same amount of time it would take Him to create one world,so when God created the stars,however much time it took Him to create one star,He can create them all,and the amount of time it takes for Him to create one fish,he can create them all,for he can create them all at one time,for His Spirit is everywhere,and He does not have to move.

The only other reasoning that I would consider would be that each day is a thousand years,but that does not pan out,for if God created everything outright in full creation,and in its adult state,for all life forms,they would not go on for 1000 years,but it started all creation done,and to reproduce,in 6 days,and if they are created in full creation,and in its adult state,God does not need 1000 years to bring them about,especially when God took a rib from Adam,and created Eve,right there on the spot,and Jesus healed people quickly,which means God can assemble physical matter,and whatnot quickly,and does not need a lot of time to do it.

The only conclusion that makes sense is it is 6 literal days,for God is an omnipresent Spirit,so He does not have to move,so He can create everything at the same time on that day,He can create quickly assembling physical matter,so it would not take Him 1000 years to bring about the things He created,and He created all things in full creation,in its adult state,so it did not go through an evolution process to take 1000 years,and the grass would not be producing for 3000 years,and the fish,and the birds,and the creeping things for 1000 years,or however long they think it is if they do not believe in a literal 6 days,before Adam and Eve,and the beasts of the field started reproducing,and since God created everything in its adult state,they were reproducing very close to each other time wise,for it only makes sense 6 literal days.
