i know what you’re gonna say---------everyone has a right to believe whatever they want.. but the question above is not about everyone’s right to believe whatever.. the question is very specific------will the world be a better place----without religion.
think for a while what the world would be like without any religion.. no conflicts between islam and christianity.. no conflicts between different sects of christianity.
(example; jehovah’s witnesses vs catholics).
Of course, yes!
what 'religion" means both theoretically and practically is not compatible with what Jesus called "worship with spirit and with truth"
only Father's worshipers "with spirit and with truth" may display the qualities that reflect Father's personality
and that means also they would be in "unity" with Christ ... a "humankind" having the peace with God, the Owner of our souls...
where does the idea that the creative days of the genesis account were 7,000 years long come from?.
genesis doesn't suggest that they were specific time periods, but shows that one "day" extended into others.
i feel that the clue is in the words; "and there was an evening and there was a morning, a first day.
No, the "creation day' length is NOT known to humans, simply because God didn't revealed its length
its duration being of 7000 years is simply a human thought or interpretation ...
we do not know how long it was

Let us read: Obadiah 1:
1 The vision of Obadiah. Thus saith the Lord Jehovah concerning Edom: We have heard tidings from Jehovah, and an ambassador is sent among the nations, saying, Arise ye, and let us rise up against her in battle.
2 Behold, I have made thee small among the nations: thou art greatly despised. 3 The pride of thy heart hath deceived thee, O thou that dwellest in the clefts of [a]the rock, whose habitation is high; that saith in his heart, Who shall bring me down to the ground?
4 Though thou mount on high as the eagle, and though thy nest be set among the stars, I will bring thee down from thence, saith Jehovah.
5 If thieves came to thee, if robbers by night (how art thou cut off!), would they not steal only till they had enough? if grape-gatherers came to thee, would they not leave some gleaning grapes? 6 How are [b]the things of Esau searched! how are his hidden treasures sought out!
7 All the men of thy confederacy have [c]brought thee on thy way, even to the border: the men that were at peace with thee have deceived thee, and prevailed against thee; [d]they that eat thy bread lay a [e]snare under thee: there is no understanding [f]in him.
8 Shall I not in that day, saith Jehovah, destroy the wise men out of Edom, and understanding out of the mount of Esau?
>>>>>>> Let's consider that "Edom" is the "governing body" and his intimate group ....those who are now "lording over their brothers" (1Cor.4:8)
we are living at this period of time : Eccl 12:14. "For God will bring every act to judgment, including every hidden thing, whether good or evil."
