St. Cyprian: Suggested that each creation day corresponded to a period of one thousand years, directly linking the days of Genesis to the concept found in Psalm 90:4 and 2 Peter 3:8.

Didn't another user point out that is not the case. That St Cyprian was actually referring to those who say the world would end after 7000 years because there was 7 days in creation and scripture says 1 day is a 1000 years to God. Not that creation was 1000 years

Maybe.  The point is, St Cyprian was the outlier of the Fathers, most of whom thought that Genesis days were actual days.

Hmmmm what does tradition say about the age of Eve?
Still looking for an answer to this.

Still looking for an answer to this.
Since the reasoning for 33 is that it's the peak age, I would assume Eve was created at the peak age for women. I don't know what that was for the hebrews.

I do find the idea that she was at the very least a decade younger compelling, it would make a nice microcosm of God and Adam: Adam watching over Eve till she grows and learns enough, Eve rebelling against Adam, etc.

On a somewhat related note, I also find this compelling: symbolically very powerful and resonates with the True Adam (Christ) and the True Eve (Humanity).

"Certain Rabbis interpret that Eve dedit de ligno to say that Adam refused, but Eve “took of the tree,”—that is, broke a branch and “gave it him,” with the stick until he accepted and ate."

Oh, the irony!

Your responses to the drubbing you are receiving in this thread and in the "Telling" thread, https://www.cathinfo.com/the-sacred-catholic-liturgy-chant-prayers/telling/msg1040730/#msg1040730
include Gish Gallops. You too have "said a lot of things" at a rapid pace, many of which are false.

"Considering" that you claim to be a woman and have demonstrated a soft spot for an "evangelist" of the Judaized Novus Ordo (Nishant/Xavier/Telling), I wonder if you also claim тαℓмυdic heritage. Are you a convert from тαℓмυdic Judaism? I ask because a pattern, though not yet firm seems to be starting to coalesce. After all, the tribe is infamous for accusing others of things for which they themselves are much more demonstrably guilty (in your case, Gish Gallops, lies, incompetence, and hypocrisy). Do I smell the tainted odor of gefilte fish? In view of your penchant for "quadrupling down" on the serial lies you have told in the Telling thread. I allow for the possibility (likelihood?) that you will lie in your response here, but I ask anyway.

Further "consideration," while a disproportion of thumbs-down is not an objective measure of truth per se, your own disproportion of down-thumbs as a newbie is indeed an indicator that you lack credibility in and seem incompatible with the "Trads" this forum.
