I do think so. Sure looks like it from what I perceive.

Just because a few dozen given ages add up to around 10,000 years, and the word “day” was used to describe a time when the daylight/nighttime cycle didn’t exist, was perceived only by an entity which views 1000 years as a day, and was described in a few words to a nearly prehistoric goat-herder who didn’t grok quantum cosmology, doesn’t mean God did things in a way that puny ignoramuses conclude covers a hundred back-to-back lifespans.

Genesis 1:1 In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth.
2 And the earth was without form, and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters.
3 And God said, Let there be light: and there was light. 4 And God saw the light, that it was good: and God divided the light from the darkness.
5 And God called the light Day, and the darkness he called Night. And the evening and the morning were the first day.

You are welcome to believe anything you want, but you are in error as to your assertions, as is evidenced by a plain reading of Genesis 1. God told the Israelites specifically to keep the 7th day as a Sabbath, as recorded here:

Exodus 20:11 For in six days the Lord made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that in them is, and rested the seventh day:

In other words, why do you ignore the plain reading of the scripture, and promote day-age theories? If God is God, Omnipotent and Omniscient, why did He bother taking 6 whole days, much less Billions? The clock He used and referenced us to was in days, which ONLY make sense regarding the revolution of the Earth, with evening and mornings. You do realize he created time on the first day? Before Genesis 1, there was no time! Time only exists to measure change, and since God is changeless...
