notes: "We Bahá'ís do not believe in Genesis literally. We know this world was not created in seven days, or six, or eight, but evolved gradually over a period of millions of years, as science has proved. As to where the idea of a seven-day week originated, it is certainly very ancient and you should refer to scholars for an answer." – From a letter written on behalf of the Guardian to an individual believer, October 28, 1949, in Lights of Guidance, no. 1658
