The overwhelming evidence in the Genesis Creation record, in the other books of Moses, and in the entirety of Scripture leads one to conclude that God created during a literal, contiguous period of six days, followed by a literal Sabbath. Any accommodating of the literal Creation week to an evolutionary worldview (theistic evolution) replaces God’s Word with the words of humans and concurs with the cosmic controversy at whose heart is the questioning of God’s Word and nature (Gen. 3:1-6). Such an accommodation replaces the love of God with a God who created through billions of years of suffering, which portrays Him in a way incompatible with Calvary and removes a literal Sabbath as the climax of Creation.
Any replacement of a literal Creation Sabbath by a day-age Sabbath makes no sense when Christ wrote in the fourth commandment that He created in six days and rested on the seventh day, and asked His fol lowers to keep the seventh day as Sabbath (Exod. 20:8-11).
No wonder Christ referred to the creation of Adam and Eve as literal (Matt. 19:4).
