In an engaging podcast episode, I welcomed Pastors Michael Chilcott and Peter Ikpugha to debate whether the Earth was created in six literal days or six spiritual periods, as described in Genesis 1. The discussion was lively, filled with biblical exposition and occasional fiery exchanges. Pastor Chilcott defended a literal 24-hour-day view, citing the Hebrew yom and Exodus 20:11, which ties the creation week to the Sabbath. He argued that a literal reading upholds Scripture’s authority, cautioning against allegorical interpretations. Pastor Ikpugha, however, proposed that the “days” could symbolize longer epochs, referencing Psalm 90:4 and the universe’s vast age. He suggested Genesis prioritizes theological truth over chronology. The conversation explored scientific theories like the Big Bang, with Chilcott noting their gaps and Ikpugha advocating compatibility between faith and science, citing Job 38:4-7. Both agreed that Genesis affirms God’s purposeful design (Romans 1:20) and humanity’s unique role (Genesis 1:26-27). They urged unity among believers despite differing views (John 17:21). This episode, blending Scripture, science, and theology, encouraged listeners to approach creation with humility and awe, trusting God’s higher ways (Isaiah 55:9).#CreationDebate
