And if you think it IS important, please explain how or why.
Not to sound like Hillary but
"What difference does it make NOW!!!?"
If you directed this to me, the importance is this:
If the Genesis account of creation doesn't specifically state that the six days of creation were consecutive days, why should anyone dogmatically state that the days were consecutive, especially when doing so drives people away from God?
I have no problem with people being offended by the truth, by facts clearly stated in the Bible. However, if something isn't specifically addressed in the Bible and people who might otherwise be receptive to Biblical teaching are driven away by dogmatic assertions about human assumptions, there's a problem. We shouldn't let those human assumptions drive people away.
If people are going to reject God, let it be because they don't accept what is actually written in the Bible, not because of what some people interject alongside what is written in the Bible.
