>> Once again we’re at the argument of a metaphorical day or a physical day. <<
Genesis 1:5 God called the light “day,” and the darkness he called “night.” And there was evening, and there was morning—the first day.
For that to have been longer then a 24 hour day and then for the revolution of the earth to have changed to become a 24 hour day would have caused some serious problems. Look it up.
Time is relative. There really is no arguing with this truth of Creation. What is one day in one frame of reference can be billions in another. Genesis apparently was written from God’s perspective. From our perspective it took billions of years. There is no contradiction in this. We wouldn’t have know this about His nature if we hadn’t studied His creation with science.
