    So I grew up around creationists. When I presented this idea, the only attempt at a justification I heard was something like “in the original Hebrew the word for a literal day was used, that’s how we know creation happened in literal 6 days”

    Which baffled me enough to shut me up, so that guy probably thinks he convinced me.

      This seems to happen to me more frequently these days. Sometimes a person will say something so absurd that it just stops me in my tracks and I’m sure they think it means they “won”

      Well duh, if they meant metaphorical day, they should have used the hebrew word for metaphorical days.
