Notice how you elevate a mere fallible mortal above what is written in the Bible to validate what you PREFER to believe.

No, no, no, and again no.

What I did is take an early father of the Church (he was actually around before the Bible, I would note), and use him to demonstrate that the idea that the 7 days of creation (in which I do believe) were of 24 hours is utterly barmy. Do you respond to his point or not?

A day is the time it takes for the earth to revolve once on its axis (though of course given your views you may well be a flat-earther); how can we make any suggestion at how long a 'day' is before the earth is there to revolve?

This is not about putting anybody above the Bible, but rather it is realising that what the Bible says is true and that in many parts it is allegorical in what it is saying.

So sad.

What is sad is that some people, having rejected the Divinely instituted authority of the Church, are grabbing at bits all over the place to support what are patently false hypotheses.
