"So the evening and the morning were the first day."

The word used for DAY (yom) only ever means a literal 24 hour period. Every other place it's used to mean a literal day, no one ever questions.

They only question it in Genesis because they are trying to change God's word to fit the THEORIES of anti-God "scientists". Yet the evidence fits a literal six-day creation.

These people are like John Kerry, flip-flopping whenever it suits them.

And when You're eternal, an hour is still an hour. It's not relative. Although time has no meaning to an eternal God, the term still has meaning.

You seem to assume that scientists working in geology, astronomy etc. are "anti-God." Do you have any basis for this claim?

If the Earth was created around 10,000 years ago, why would God place all this misleading evidence in the geological record that suggests a much older Earth?

And when You're eternal, an hour is still an hour. It's not relative. Although time has no meaning to an eternal God, the term still has meaning.

Time is relative. An hour for someone traveling at the speed of light is different from an hour for you and me.

Have you directed God about this?

From Strongs concordance:

"03117 Mwy yowm yome" (sorry I don't have the hebrew fonts, The first should be in Hebrew, the second is the English equivalent and the third is the pronounciation)

from an unused root meaning to be hot; TWOT-852; n m

AV-day 2008, time 64, chronicles + 01697 37, daily 44, ever 18, year 14, continually 10, when 10, as 10, while 8, full 8 always 4, whole 4, alway 4, misc 44; 2287

1) day, time, year

1b) day (24 hour period)
1b1) as defined by evening and morning in Genesis 1
1b2) as a division of time

It looks to be a very general time word.

I leave it as an exercise for the interested reader to find examples of each usage.
