Come to think of it, Creationism (or a variation thereof) might be an acceptable belief in the MLP-verse. Remember that this is a world where nature (presumably) does not control itself, the ponies and others have to do all the work of making rain and snow, changing the seasons, caring for “wild” animals, moving the sun and the moon, among other things. In fact, places like the Everfree Forest (which us humans would see as a “normal” forest) is stated as being alien and unnatural to the ponies.

So if ponies believe that nature cannot control itself, then it stands to reason that they might believe in some sort of Creator God. Of course, this opens up a giant can of worms requiring explanations i will not bother to write, this is just some food for thought.

I’d feel safer if I saw the body.

The truth is
 

“We don’t have God. We have Hasbro.”

That’s what I think, too.
 
@Dogman15  
Maybe that’s just how Moses interpreted it. God might’ve said it took seven days and Moses thought that God was talking about an earth day. They didn’t know much about astronomy way back then, so Moses just wrote what he thought God was trying to say.
 
@illuminati  
Not necessarily. If there was a dead planet roaming around in the darkness of space between galaxies, one rotation would still be considered a day for that planet. Not to mention there are places on earth where, during certain times of year, it is constantly light or dark 24 hours a day.

@Prometheus labs CEO  
A day has a period of light and a period of dark, so that doesn’t work.

@Background Pony #8E93  
Moses wrote of “evening and morning”, and the Hebrew word yom (day) is dependent on context, so in that context, it would mean “a normal 24 hour day”.

@Background Pony #8E93  
I always figured it meant a “day” from the perspective of god, which is probably 100s of millions of years

@Dogman15  
It doesn’t say how long those “days” were, though. A day is calculated by the rotation of a celestial object, but the earth wasn’t formed yet, so it wasn’t calculated by the earth’s time. Earth, in early development, had a different day length than today anyway.

@Prometheus labs CEO  
It wasn’t written intended to be interpreted as a metaphor. Moses wrote the first five books of the Bible/Torah intending them to be taken at face value.

It’s a metaphor you idiot

Rush job, huh? Explains a lot.

@ArterialBlack716  
Look, I don’t believe in god and both young earth and old-earth creationism involving god to make universe exist.
 
_{PS: I don’t have a mood to debate about anything, let alone about religion. So if you try to start a debate, I might respond to you jokingly just like my first comment that reply to you}

@CyanLightning  
you can … disprove the idea that the universe was created? really? i’m curious now.

@ArterialBlack716  
You confused? please check that I used “:P” emoticon. That mean I am joking not being serious to “voicing my opinion” nor “argue/debate with you”
 
Although I am more than capable to disprove both young earth and old-earth creationism. But the last thing that I want is another heated debate about religion.

@CyanLightning  
i’m confused. on one hand, you’re replying to my comment, but on the other hand, you aren’t making any actual points, so there’s nothing for me to reply to. so i’m not sure if you’re trying to argue/debate with me, or just … voicing your opinion and not looking for further discussion?

@ArterialBlack716  
What do you mean?

@ArterialBlack716  
Yeah as much as valid as I am the god of this world and created it within 10 seconds flat :P

both Young- and Old-Earth Creationism are valid.

No, he made it in six and rested on the seventh. But the seventh could be any one of three days.

@deathsia  
Okay.

@CyanLightning  
Could of swore the bible thumpers were gonna invade this post followed by the atheists….
 

@deathsia  
There wasn’t any shitstorm here.

The days of creation in Genesis are specifically described as having an evening and a morning.
