Much of what is called “fact” in science is not fact. Ever read “Forbidden Archeology”? There is a knowledge filter in much of science - look at globaloney warming? Lies! Hidden data - wrong data, wrong conclusions. Same thing in any field that relates to evolution.

I disagree entirely about whether a “day” means this or that in the Bible. In the Bible there is the sentence “With God, all things are possible”. He can make a “day” be whatever He wants it to be.

Also, according to my study, the world or this entire universe is not all of existence. There is an eternal Kingdom of God that exists far beyond this created realm. “Day” only refers to this universe, this planet, not eternity.

So arguing about what a “day” means in the Bible is to me veering off into a dead end of angels dancing on pins. Why not focus on the lies that are told and evidence hidden by evolutionists? As well as their motives.

You are looking at only a part of the picture. It isn’t much different then the evolutionists. The do not want to take into account all known data by eliminating any understanding of Biblical truth. You are doing the same by trying to focus only on evolution. I believe, to be complete in our analysis, we need to understand all data including that contained in the Bible. Your focus on proving evolution to be in error is correct but needs to include Biblical truth as well to complete the whole picture.

The understanding of the creation account in Genesis is important in that it completes the view of how this world came to be as we know it.

Of course the Vedic/Hindu/Hare Krishna creationism you apparently accept does have a precise meaning of "day":

The Bhagavata Purana says that men and women have lived on earth for a vast period of time called the Day of Brahma, which is composed of a thousand yuga cycles. Each yuga cycle lasts 12,000 "years of the gods." And since each "year" equals 360 earth years, one yuga cycle equals 4.32 million years while a thousand yuga cycles total 4.32 billion years, summing up the Day of Brahma.

Review: Forbidden Archaeology's Impact (NCSE)

Those unfamiliar with Hindu antievolutionism might be interested to know that, although more "liberal" than fundamentalist "Young Earth" creationism in allowing for (actually insisting on) an ancient earth, it is more strict than even "strict" Christian antievolutionism in insisting on absolutely fixed species (i.e. no "micro" evolution; no evolution even "within created kinds".

The reason for this is two-fold. First because the Vedas teach that species are fixed. All (not just man) have existed here through the "Day of Brahma." IIRC correctly, the Vedas even number the "species of life". I don't remember the figure, but think it somewhere in the millions.

The second relates to the doctrine of reincarnation. In short it is the soul that evolves. In doing so in serially inhabits different "species". These species remain fixed. Hindu creationists see affirming (biological) evolution as denying (spiritual) evolution, i.e. rebirth and reincarnation.
