***You can put me on the record that a day is 24 hours. Not only that, but a Jewish day is 24-hours as well.
Even Jesus agrees. John 11:9 - Jesus answered, “ Are there not twelve hours in the day? If anyone walks in the day, he does not stumble, because he sees the light of this world.”***
So is twelve exact or is twelve metaphorical?
Let us see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hebrew_calendar
Day
For smaller units of time, see Measurement of hours below.
The Jewish day is of no fixed length. The Jewish day is modeled on the reference to “...there was evening and there was morning...”[5] in the Creation story. Accordingly, it runs from sunset (start of “the evening”) to the next sunset. However, some apply special rules at very high latitudes when the sun remains above or below the horizon for longer than a civil day.[6]
There is no clock in the Jewish scheme, so that a civil clock is used. Though the civil clock incorporates local adoptions of various conventions such as time zones, standard times and daylight saving, these have no place in the Jewish scheme. The civil clock is used only as a reference point - in expressions such as: “Shabbat starts at ...”. The steady progression of sunset around the world and seasonal changes results in gradual civil time changes from one day to the next based on observable astronomical phenomena (the sunset) and not on man-made laws and conventions. Instead of the international date line convention, the antimeridian of Jerusalem is used. (Jerusalem is 35°13’ east of the prime meridian, so the antimeridian is at 144°47’ W, passing through eastern Alaska.)
No fixed time. If there is no fixed time, and miracles such as Joshua’s occurred, then there is no way that you can claim 24 hour exact duration of the first days of Genesis.

***Perhaps He is. Do you have Scripture to indicate otherwise?
John 5:17 - But He answered them, “My Father is working until now, and I Myself am working.”
Now, do you have Scripture to support your claims??***
Since I did not claim, no I don’t. But where is the end of the seventh day in Scripture?
