created the world in 6 days. (hmm)
7th day he rested (obviously tired from all that creation stuff, moulding matter, planting trees, pushing up volcanoes)
8th day? I mean maybe he rested for that too?
Dont you find it ironic that the 7 day gumf fits in with the Roman 7 day week created by Christian romans?
So god rested on Sunday no? Which is the day you should rest and praise him?
Hang on..
So 7 day week, 7 day creation both with the 7th day as a day of rest...?
I get the feeling that would appeal to Christians in the bible no?

The 7th day creation appeals to the Jewish Torah. It appeals to the Ancient Mesopotamian culture. If you read the creation accounts of Ancient Mesopotamia, it appears to be a uniform belief that the world was created in seven days. Also Seven was a holy number for Jews and always signified completeness.
God revealed the creation in 7 days because he was being culturally relevant, yet again when you read what occurred in those seven days is actually counter cultural compared to the other creation accounts.
And finally the 7th day is not Sunday but Saturday. Have you seen a calendar lately?

According to Plato, the word God meant a body of matter that travelled across the heavens.
and heavens meant sky.
So, all the planets were Gods, the sun were Gods the stars were Gods.
In the beginning, (Zep Tepi) was a lord to the uppermost limit, a thinking substance that permeates and penetrates everything in the universe, creating everything that it thinks of.
It thinks and what it thinks of becomes into form.
I would advise you in the nicest possible way, to study what religion came before Christianity.
You will find all the same stories that are in the bible, just different names and places.
The reason Sunday is the holy day, is because pre Christians worshipped the Sun, and sunday is a day dedicated to the sun.
Monday the moon etc.
each day is a load of balony, it took millions of years to create the universe.

The 7 day week fits in with the Roman Christians 7 day week????????
What?????
The 7 day week in genesis was first recorded over 3500 years ago. That is not even in dispute, Now, when did the Romans and Christians show up???
You have to be shooting from the hip-you could not have possibly read this somewhere. You really sound stupid. Are you?

Good try but you need to not only read something but understand it as well, when the earth was made of course there were no days, it's only man's words that have put that in to the bible, i would have thought anyone would be able to understand that

i always thought that the 7th day was Sunday because in England Sunday was the day of rest, the day we went to church, the day you weren't allowed to serve alcohol(in days of old) etc, etc, but the Jewish day of rest is Saturday, isn't it? they're not allowed to do anything on Saturdays & employ peeps to cook & clean for them on a saturday.
Tell me if i'm wrong.
did the christians change the holy day from saturday to sunday? or was it the Brits?

On the 8th day he tried to work out what would happen if Man started to think for himself and found all the holes in religion.

No, you are wrong. He rose on the eighth day and has accomplished an even mightier new creation.
Your flippancy is matched only by your ignorance.
