Martin Luther: 1483 – 1546 German theologian

“When Moses writes that God created heaven and earth and whatever is in them in six days, then let this period continue to have been six days, and do not venture to devise any comment according to which six days were one day. But, if you cannot understand how this could have been done in six days, then grant the Holy Spirit the honor of being more learned than you are.”

Martin Luther, 1483 - 1586Comments on Genesis Creation

Today’s processes can be used to approximate processes of the past.

1. Uniformity of natural causes or processes throughout geologic time:

2. Uniformity of both intensity and rate throughout geologic time.
