Calvin Said Genesis Means What it Says, God Created in Six Consecutive Normal Days

Some professing evangelical Christians accuse creationists of taking a naïve literalistic view of Genesis, and claim that creationism is a 20th century aberration. Nothing could be further from the truth.

One of the most influential of the Reformers was the French lawyer and theologian John Calvin (1509–1564).
Calvin believed:
The earth is ‘young’;

God created in six consecutive normal days;

The day-night cycle was instituted from Day 1 — before the sun was created;

The sun, moon and stars were created on Day 4 — after the earth — and took over the role as light dispensers to the earth...

This authorized reading of an article by Dr. Jonathan Sarfati posted at www.creation.com (see the link on this page) gives convicing evidence, with citations, that Calvin indeed believed that God created the universe in 6 consecutive normal days.
