>>I could not tell you but I would imagine that distracting ourselves with such details detract from us learning about the consequence of Adam not stopping Eve from being tempted.<<
But not understanding what the Bible teaches concerning the coexistence of science and creation DOES affect our being able to relate to educated scientists or people who are college educated. They know that the world is much older then the 6-7000 years since Adam.
BTW. You can’t make a statement that the days were longer during the creation then not be able to not explain what happened after that. You end up being dismissed as not knowing what you were talking about in the first place.
But again, why does the age of the Earth matter if one wants to be a good Christian? Is God really going to ask us that question when we go for judgment and send us to Hell if we get it wrong?

And why not? For all I know what could have prevented God from changing the length of a day as He saw fit? After all, He IS God, and with Him all things are possible.
IMO trying to get a literal reading of the Creation Story to jive with modern science is pointless. Science can never be used to prove the existence of God.
I agree with the basic premise of the article, which everyone seems to be missing (or many, not everyone).
Which is what I stated in my pingout comment. The reason Darwinists/evolutionists embrace their belief system - religion, if you will - is because of rejecting God being the creator. It’s that simple. Some people try to mix the two (God created via evolution) since they (may?) feel looked down upon by those who believe in evolution, but the two do not mix. It’s like trying to straddle two edges of an abyss. You have to jump to one side or the other - God Created the universe (and beyond) or Purposeless Godless Evolution.
Picking apart what a “day” means in the Bible to me is equivalent to how many angels can dance on the head of a pin.
Answer to both: As many angels as God wants can dance anyhow and anywhere He wants them to dance.
And a “day” means whatever He wants it to mean.
Personally my Vedic studies give somewhat different (and more) details about how creation occurred; to me the details are not so important. What is important is if all of existence is a creation by the Supreme Lord for His purposes, or is it all a meaningless accident somehow set into motion by - nothing. Those are the two choices.
Another point is that the leftist run MSM and educational institutions have almost successfully spread the propaganda for so many years - generations - that evolution is FACT so anyone who doesn’t “toe the line” is a snaggle toothed, cousin marrying, knuckle dragging, Bible thumping fool.
I don’t buy that cartoon and neither should anyone else. “Not wanting to look like a fool” is not a valuable motivation, if one indeed wants to know the truth. Especailly when those who are very quick to pin the “fool” label themselves are not - shall we say - pillars of wisdom.
