*Here's an actual e-mail dialogue that took place between me and a reader about this comic*

READER: If someone believes in evolution — which the Catholic church/Pope even acknowledges happened — it doesn't mean the universe WASN'T created in 6 days. Nowhere in the Bible does it say how long a day was back then. In fact, isn't one day defined by how long it takes for the earth to rotate? Uh, if there's no EARTH yet....

ME: As for the earth being created, well:
"1. In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth.
2. And the earth was without form, and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters.
3. And God said, Let there be light: and there was light.
4. And God saw the light, that it was good: and God divided the light from the darkness.
5. And God called the light Day, and the darkness he called Night. And the evening and the morning were the first day"
So, according to the Bible, the Earth and sun and all that stuff was created first, and night and day was sorted out. Then animals and man were created on the 5th and 6th days. I mean, I guess you can say, well, hey, maybe days were longer back then. So then what, there was one day that lasted 65 million years, then man was created and suddenly days became 24 hours? Also, with a day that long, I would think that one side of the earth would be a huge desert while the other would just be frozen over. I could go on forever. Come on, it's just silly.

READER: Come on, a lot of stuff sounds silly. Like, imagine two brothers being born and looking EXACTLY ALIKE?! Or people eating BUGS?! Hey, it happens. Yes, one day COULD have been 65million years. The Sun may not have been hot enough to create that dessert... and we'll never know, 'cause we weren't there. But it's fun to think about.

ME: Hey, I agree with the whole "we'll never know if we weren't there" thing to a point. But come on, sometimes you have to be realistic. A 65 million year day? How is it physically possible for it to take the Earth 65 million years to rotate? That would mean that it was practically standing still that entire time. Normally, the Earth rotates at 1,000 mph. If there was a 65 million year day, that would mean it was turning at about .0000001 mph. So one day COULD NOT have been 65 million years.
But hopefully the sun could make a good dessert, because that would be yummy.

READER: But the laws of physics didn't exist yet... even the big bang couldn't happen again, the same way, based on the laws of physics. That's all I'm saying. And yes, I truly DO believe that "God said... let there be Big Bang" and the word "day" in the Bible ought not be taken literally.

ME: Okay, don't take everything in the Bible literally. Thanks.
