"As for creation myths, we have a document written several thousand years ago which says the universe began in a flash of light and developed through several stages of increasing complexity"
Stages are named as days, and the "omnipotent" god even gets tired and has to rest (!) the whole day after 6 in which he makes the whole word, including the "firmament" to keep the water on the heaven from not raining down all the time.
The use of the English word 'days' is effectively a mistranslation. As for the seventh day, that's a context switch for some life advice: after work must come rest, trying to work a seven-day week is stupid and harmful - something quite a few people nowadays would do well to remember.
And God called the firmament Heaven. And there was evening and there was morning, a second day." (Genesis 1:8)
Which word of those is mistranslated?
Note that because of this and similar lines the Jews count the days for celebration (including Shabbat) to have a beginning at the evening (Shabbat starts on Friday evening).
If you mean "yō·wm" here are all the places where the word was used in the Bible:
It's the almighty that had to rest, not the people. The absurdity is obvious for everybody except the believers. But that is the definition of faith, believe, no matter what.
Stages are named as days, and the "omnipotent" god even gets tired and has to rest (!) the whole day after 6 in which he makes the whole word, including the "firmament" to keep the water on the heaven from not raining down all the time.
Doesn't have sense.
