Creationism
A lot of people ***stumble with*** the creation account in the Old Testament, because they’ve been conditioned to think that it presents a view of creation that’s so much at odds with modern scientific ideas about creation, and there are those out there that say the Bible teaches a six day, 24-hour creation followed by a 24-hour period of rest — a seven-day creation week. In other words, they interpret the text in a highly literalistic way and that seems so much at odds with what scientists are discovering.
