Consequently, the denial of literal 6 day creation is unconfessional. It will take a lot to shift me from this position, if the six days of Genesis 1 does not refer to six literal days, then I am not sure that I understand anything.
| "In the space of 6 days" is still sufficiently broad to allow for an OEC view depending on what is meant by "day." Besides, some of the Assembly members believed the days weren't exactly 24 hrs. Are you saying writers of the confession were unconfessional?
