Compare the 6 days of the book of Genesis to the 4 billion years of geologic time.
On this scale, 1 day equals about 666 billion years.
All day Monday, until Tuesday noon, creation was busy getting the earth going.
Life began on Tuesday noon and the beautiful organic wholeness of it developed over the next 4 days.
At 4 P.M. Saturday, the big reptiles came. 5 hours later, when the redwoods appeared,there were no longer big reptiles.
At 3 minutes before midnight, man appeared.
One-fourth of a second before midnight, Christ revolted.
One-fortieth of a second before midnight, the industrial revolution began
