RE: Were the seven days of creation in Genesis seven twenty four hour periods? - Where do these notions originate?

I am under the impression that almost every religious text is written as an allegory. Perhaps there are hints of actual and literal events, but they're taken more as historical fiction rather than works of strictly nonfiction. The Genesis story is very hard for me to pull apart, but it definitely contains quite a bit of allegorical messages. I look forward to your future posts!

that's what I will be exploring next
