A day is a day.
[[A day is a day.]]
Correct- Here’s the evidence paraphrased ad condensed some from the following site http://www.bibleinfo.com/en/questions/did-creation-take-place-6-literal-days:
1: “Yom” when coupled with a number (ie: day one, second day etc) always means one literal 24 hour day throughout the entire bible- there are no exceptions to this and no reason to believe the account in genesis is any different than the rest of the bible when it mentions Yom coupled with a number
2: God set aside the 7’th DAY as a DAY of rest- the same Yom plus a number mentioned in previous Yom + numbers mentioned previously- The sabbath certainly did not last a million or more years- it lasted on literal 24 hour day- there is no reason to believe that this sabbath DAY was any shorter than the previously mentioned days
3: God states that plants were created on the 3’rd DAY- and that the sun was created on 4’th DAY- Long age advocates would have us believe plants survived for 1000’s or millions of years without sunshine? Planet musta been perty cold without sunshine all those years huh?
4: Many plants require insects to pollinate them- Yet insects were not created until the 6’th DAY- Are we to believe plants survived 1000’s or millions of years without aNY means of being pollinated? Some plants even require insects to survive-
5: “day and night,” “evening and morning,” “light and darkness”- all literal 24 hour DAYS- not 1000’s to millions of years-
