L'Shana Tova!

In the Biblical creation story, the universe, earth, seas, sun(s), moon(s), etc. were created in six days. According to the Jewish calendar, the end of the 6th day, i.e. the anniversary of the creation of mankind, will take place early this evening.

Here's something to ponder: the eons that passed from the big bang until homosapiens first stood upright is only six days on the Creator's calendar. I believe that the six days are logarithmically ordered, i.e. many millions of years passed from the first day (big bang) to the second day (creation of the Milky Way, or in biblical terms "separation of the waters above from the waters below"), whereas day six, the day on which animals and humanity were created, was only a couple hundred thousand years long.

Homo sapiens is the only creature with a sense of linear time. Thus, when humanity was created, the two calendars converged, so that humans would understand the workings of creation "in real time," so to speak.

In other words, the only obstacle to reconciling the creation story with modern scientific evidence is our lack of understanding of the Divine Calendar. If one is willing to accept the idea of a Divine Calendar that's different than our own, then the scientific mind should have no problem reconciling the two views of creation.

Whatever your religious beliefs or observances, I wish you a happy convergence of the two time machines.
