Yes, BBC gave me some new information I had not heard before ... as I said, I'm familiar with the Jewish, Roman, Western society reasons for the 7 day week, but not other cultures ... |
Sorry, I think I should explain why I was a bit snappy: In forums like this, we often have somebody appear, say that he's new in the evolution/creation debate, and has no real opinion... Then he posts some (usually quite peculiar) question, that he says he would really like to understand and that he hopes we can help him. Many of us patiently try to answer his question, and explain some basic consepts of evolution to him. Then he starts to argue, and we see that he is not a sincere person at all: He is another apologetic trying to pass as some neutral inquiring individual, and he tries to catch us with our guard down and twist and manipulate our arguments to what he likes. Now, of course I know you are not one of those: You were honest and declared your beliefs from the beginning, while they belong to the "Liars for Jesus" variety. I just think it's important to understand why some of us might have a knee-jerk reaction to someone posting a seemingly irrelevant question out of the blue, saying they are actually looking for an answer- even if his intentions are honest.
-------------- A look into DAVE HAWKINS' sense of honesty:
"The truth is that ALL mutations REDUCE information"
"...mutations can add information to a genome. And remember, I have never said that this is not possible."
