"3) The day light hours only"

This one is of particular significance with respect to the passage you cited. In Creation a yom is the light and the dark period, in general ancient Hebrew language a yom is the day light hours only. Surely you cannot imply that God wishes that we toil for six full days (144 consecutive hours) uninterrupted as He did. If you are referring to man only having to toil the daylight hours then even the duration of this varies with the seasons as Israel is 32 degrees north of the equator. The hours of daylight vary from 10:14 in December to 14:04 in June.

Do you supposed it took God all day to make the plants? Of course not. He spoke and they were. But He did this on one day. Then He waited until the next to create the next thing. Same for us. We do our work for one day and then wait for the next to do the rest. No where did I suggest or does the Bible suggest that we must work the ENTIRE day. Just that we have six days to get it done. I have been up late into the night getting things done because I didn’t get them done in the daytime. Some people work night shift. This doesn’t in any way have anything to do with the whether or not the day was a day or a period of time. You are still deflecting and since you wont actually answer my legitimate points, I see no use in continuing the discussion. Have a good day (pun intended)! ;)
