I have complete and total faith that the account in Genesis is allegorical, that “morning” and “evening” of a “day” without a Sun was not, as a matter of necessity, exactly 24 hours or any nearby variation; not when a day to the Lord is “as a thousand years” (once again poetic, not literal).

My faith is in no way dependent upon the wrongness of any scientific theory, as such, my faith is never lessened by the advancement of knowledge within that field.

“I have complete and total faith that the account in Genesis is allegorical, that “morning” and “evening” of a “day” without a Sun was not, as a matter of necessity, exactly 24 hours or any nearby variation;” [excerpt]
Exodus 20:11 puts the total (from beginning to end) creation time at six 24 hour days.
