I've never read an original copy of Genesis, and I really doubt that anyone alive has.

I have read many translations of translations of copies of translations of it, but I don't put on blinders and "believe" things word for word from those.

Besides, really only the word "day" is in conflict there. If one substitutes "stage" (or "phase") for "day", there's hardly any disagreement at all.

So why is this bizarre fantasy being heavily promoted all of a sudden (past decade or so)? Who is trying to gain what from it?

Cheers
