The Seventh Day of Creation
When God took the day off, creation kept unfolding.
Religious or not, we can take a look at the creation story in Genesis, and read that God created creation in six days and then rested a day. This means that we have a total of seven days for the creation story.
In this article, with as aim to dig up structural truths, that one day of rest is very important.
Obviously, if God rested on the seventh day, then why not say that God rested on the eight, ninth, and subsequent days as well. So, mentioning the seventh day, in specific as the resting day for God after six days of work, means it is a vital part of the creation story.
To treat it as anything less — like treating it just as an addendum — does not fit well with the divine subject matter of the story.

Let’s address the Seventh Day Adventist Church first. This religious group is calling itself this way because they treat the Seventh Day differently from the rest of Christianity. They declare Saturday the day of rest, per the fourth commandment in the bible.

For some reason, folks don’t discuss the resting aspect of the seventh day much.
