Reciting the verses of Kiddush according to the science that the world was not created in six days
Hello Rabbi,
In Kiddush we say:
And the heavens and the earth and all their host were consumed:
And God ended on the seventh day his work which he had made, and he rested on the seventh day from all his work which he had made:
And God blessed the seventh day and sanctified it, because in it he rested from all his work which God created to do.
Likewise, in prayer we say several times that we keep the Sabbath because God rested on it from the creation that lasted six days.
Someone who accepts science and accepts that the world was created through a long evolutionary process, and also believes that the world was created by God who directed the evolutionary process by creating the laws of nature, how should he interpret the above rulings? How should he explain to himself the idea that he is a Sabbath keeper because 'God rested on the seventh day after the six days of creation of the world'? After all, the idea is simply unacceptable to him.
