I accept what the Scriptures say as well. Look here: http://concordances.org/hebrew/3117.htm

Yom doesn’t have to mean day as in a 24 period. It can mean a much longer or even an undefined period of time.

Isn’t this your source: http://www.answersincreation.org/word_study_yom.htm

So it doesn’t really describe six 24 hour days, plus a seventh. Plus it doesn’t use the word ex nihilo or ‘out of nothing’ to describe creation. We don’t know anything from the Bible prior to Genesis 1:1. The ex nihilo presumption is eisegisis and an interpolation by men.

Take a look here and seek out the actual Hebrew words. http://biblos.com/genesis/1-1.htm You’ll find that they are open to interpretation.

Here’s verse 2: http://biblos.com/genesis/1-2.htm The word ‘create’ means absolutely or from pre-existing matter. There isn’t any ‘and’ in verse 2. It simply says that the earth was in a state of chaos and needed to be put in order. Check it out.
