“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.

It says “24 hour days”? You must have the “creationist” Bible. Mine says it was “in six days”, but doesn't give how many hours were in those “days”; moreover that passage gives the direct applicability of the parable of creation and its connection to the sabbath.

‘work for six days, and rest on the seventh’
