With that in mind, it no longer makes sense to treat the story as a “timeline” or literal creation process.
Although the process is coherent if, as i understand it, we translate the Hebrew YWM with regard to scientific rather than literary context.
Ludwig - other Jewish friends - help me out here. YWM in Genesis 1 makes more sense when translated as ‘epoch’ or ‘era’ or ‘period’, doesn’t it?
Wouldn’t that clear up 99% of this nonsense?
