I beleive in a God that created this universe from nothing. Those that want to believe that the universe created itself, and that they are descendents of slime can celebrate their beliefs as well.

I won't get into my views a lot, but I agree that the use of the term "Day" rooted in the Hebrew word probably pronounced something like Yome is clearly not fully understood by a lot of people out here.
 
 yowm (Strong's 03117)yowm (Strong's 03117)yowm (Strong's 03117)
 
According to Strong's....
 
 

1) day, time, year

a) day (as opposed to night)

b) day (24 hour period)

1) as defined by evening and morning in Genesis 1

2) as a division of time

a) a working day, a day's journey

c) days, lifetime (pl.)

d) time, period (general)

e) year

f) temporal references

1) today

2) yesterday

3) tomorrow

Why is that difficult? You don't think God is that powerful?

Note that the redshift of galaxies is mentioned by the Bible as well -- it says He spreads out the heavens, which is exactly what we see.
