How do your referenced verses have any direct relationship to the creation account (talk about liberties with context)?

If Adam was created on the sixth day, and the sixth day was an unknown, long period of time, then how was Adam 930 years old at the time of his death?

If the word "day" means a long period of time, then what does "evening" and "morning" mean?

They give direct examples that the word day is not exclusive to a 24 hour period.

As to evening and morning, read the entire post.

If a day is a long period of time, perhaps Adam was created at the end of that period of time. It is even possible that the bodies that would become man took up a great deal of that time in there development, but were not endowed with a spirit until the end of that period. With that endowment, man was created, and thus, day six was concluded.

I don't know that I believe that, but I can see how it is not in conflict with Genesis. Therefore, I have to consider the possibility, just as I should consider the possibility of YEC. God's creation is no less His if He did it this way.

LOL!

You are willing to overlook the absurd claim that a human being lived 930 years, and are worried about how the length of a day affects that number!
