No.. GGG has stated unequivocally that genesis requires and absolute 24 hour day literal interpretation.

One can’t have it both ways.

Of course, you can. Those are two separate texts. It is not inconsistent to read them in different manners if one text is intended to be read literally and the other figuratively. The Bible is composed of books of several different literary styles each of which should be read as it is intended to be read.

Just because someone believes that the Genesis is to be read literally doesn't require that they believe that all of Daniel, Ezekiel, Revelation, etc. is to be read literally, as well.
