that because I work here. Get started today at banta.com. Tom, how's your Bible scholarship?

Do you remember Genesis? It's the one at the start of the Old Testament. Yeah, let there be light, that kind of thing, right?

Yes. And right after that, right after Let There Be Light, it says that God divided the light

from the darkness, and God called the light day, and the darkness he called night.

And that was the first day. So there you have in like the second paragraph of the Bible,

basically, a designation of a unit of time,

the first day.

And God kind of invents the week at that point as well, doesn't he?

Because he creates stuff for the next few days, you know, the animals and all that kind of thing.

And then on the seventh day, he rests, which sort of suggests there's something special

about seven.

But is there anything special about seven?

If you leave aside this Judeo-Christian idea that there's a Sabbath every seven days,

well, the seven-day week is pretty arbitrary.

There's nothing in nature that says we should reset after seven rotations of the earth.

No, it's not linked to anything astronomical.

And in the past, other cultures have had a five-day week or an eight-day week or a 10-day week or no week at all. And it's only relatively recently in history that humanity has standardized on this idea of a seven-day week.
