But even unto this day, when Moses is read.... 2 Corinthians 3:15
"From Moses however we know that 6000 years ago the world did not exist.
--But of this no philosopher can in any way be persuaded…
--Equally useless is it to consider Moses in the
beginning of his [Genesis] history as speaking mystically or
allegorically.…Moses spoke literally and plainly and neither
allegorically nor figuratively; that is, he means that the world with
all [original] creatures was created in six days as he himself expresses
it.…
Let us come at once to Moses as a far better teacher, whom we may
more safely follow than we may philosophers, who dispute without the
Word about things they do not understand."
Luther
