“But the assumption that the events of the first week required thousands upon thousands of years, strikes directly at the foundation of the fourth commandment.
--It represents the Creator as commanding men to observe the week
of literal days in commemoration of vast, indefinite periods.
--This is unlike His method of dealing with His creatures.
--It makes indefinite and obscure that which He has made very plain.
--It is infidelity in its most insidious and hence most dangerous form; its real character is so disguised that it is held and taught by many who profess to believe the Bible.”
E.G.W.
