It does. Seven in ancient Hebrew texts is metaphoric for infinity. Genesis isn't the only place where that's referenced; I believe in the New testament Jesus was quoted saying that we must forgive our enemies 7^777^777 (or something like that) times. I doubt he meant do the math, I'm pretty sure he meant forgive always. The reason I dislike creationists is because they often complain about evolution, and go on with the bible but they don't even know this. The problem is that back when the old testament was written... well, do you really expect that people of that time could grasp the meaning of infinity? No, so the writers just used a specific number with greater meaning instead. In fact, by saying that the world is still being created, the bible is probably the first documents on evolutionary theories! Fascinating, isn't it?Evolution? Where did that come up? Oh yeah, RDK...uh, I believe that evolution does exist in the sense that the world and its inhabitants today are evolving constantly, like getting immune to more diseases, and animals getting new traits. But being raised to believe in God for...all of my life, it contradicts the theory, so I really don't believe too much in either category. So I guess...I'm a creationist/Darwinist person, believing in both God and evolution, if that makes any sense.
And I saw Rey's post about my operation. It may be because I'm still VERY zoned out, but it looked like you thought I was under for 8 hours? No, I was probably only in for 1 or 2, but I just can't remember anything. That's how powerful the sedation was. I remember...eating between those eight hours, and constanly asking if I took the medication I was supposed to take (because, I couldn't remember), but yeah...those eight hours I was basically sleeping, trying to make sense of things (at least, that's what my mother told me)
Ah, that explains a lot.
I just slept right afterwards, although I did walk out of the dentist's, get in the car, get out of the car and to the bed... which I don't remember. o_o; I remember opening my eyes and seeing myself in the car, but that's it.
