I really don't see that being the case from the wording you guys provided. From 6 o'clock to 7 o'clock is one hour. From father to son is one generation. There is no other way to look at it. That's why I asked for a passage. If you don't have a passage, what are you arguing over? |
Like I said, to me, from 6 to 7 o'clock could be read as inclusively or exclusively. It's a question of semantics. I don't know what passage he was referring to, and like I mentioned before if we're talking purely about intervals, I have no problem reading generations from person A to person B as including all persons including endpoints, even father and son, LET ALONE how the audience of those books in those contexts would read them.
I'm sorry but this is an argument you will never win in a scientific setting. You know, the study of religion (theology).
