Why does EVERYBODY (paleontologists and young earth believers) think they know what a day is to GOD.
To GOD a day might be a billion years or an eye blink.
I don’t think GOD is limited to a time clock, he doesn’t HAVE to punch in or out.

While I understand your point, I will say that by day 4 we knew what a day was. We can all argue the time before that, but Christianity wise, we have known the length of a day for longer than man has walked the earth.

14 And God said, Let there be lights in the firmament of the heaven to divide the day from the night; and let them be for signs, and for seasons, and for days, and years:

15 And let them be for lights in the firmament of the heaven to give light upon the earth: and it was so.

16 And God made two great lights; the greater light to rule the day, and the lesser light to rule the night: he made the stars also.

17 And God set them in the firmament of the heaven to give light upon the earth,

18 And to rule over the day and over the night, and to divide the light from the darkness: and God saw that it was good.

19 And the evening and the morning were the fourth day.

Full disclosure, I am not all that religious. I believe there was a creator but that no one that is in any of our books.

The study of everything from a blade of grass to the extent of the cosmos, to me are the proof of “God”.

2 Peter 3:8
But do not forget this one thing, dear friends: With the Lord a day is like a thousand years, and a thousand years are like a day.
