Quote:
Young earth creationists, or rather biblical creationists,1 are often accused of being over literal in their interpretation of Genesis 1. Regrettably, this accusation caricaturizes this position as a “literalistic interpretation,” which is unfortunate since biblical creationists explain their hermeneutic as “grammatical-historical interpretation.” This paper will argue that, when we read Genesis 1 in its context, it should be understood as a historical account which teaches that God created everything in six 24-hour days.
