I don't believe in Evolution at all, I only believe in Creation. But I don't know that days have always been limited to 24 hours, or that an hour has always been limited to 60 minutes. God may have changed all that when He created life.

"I don't believe in Evolution at all"

You had me going there-- until I spotted the capital "E".  So you agree that there are things that 'evolve'.  When ever I run into someone who calls hisself an 'athiest' I usually say "I don't believe in the the same god that you don't believe in.   So I can confidently say I don't believe in "Evolution" but I believe in "evolution".

Of course, if you start asking me to define my terms then you're making life difficult for me. ;-)

I don't believe in Evolution at all until they can explain why a man has nipples I don't either.

Indeed.

One earth day is 24 hours, one day for the almighty could be 10 million earth years.

Actually due to tidal action, the Earth's rotation is slowing down. Has been for millions of years.

the hebrew word for day also is the same word for Period of time.

Why can't you believe in both? I fail to see a contradiction.

In other words what would the Creator consider a day? Would a day to the Creator be like an epoch to us? If so then the order of creation in Genesis would mirror science fairly well. Dwelling on the 24 hour day is the anti-creationists hobbyhorse.

That's right. God is God, after all, eternal, onmiscient, onmipresent and omnipotent. Having created the entire universe, I have to wonder if He frames time according the rotation of a very mediocre sun rotating aroud a small planet in the middle of an obscure solar system on the fringe the galaxy. That God is the Creator and that Genesis describes creation I have no doubt, nor do I doubt that, in due time, all will be explained to me in a manner I can understand. Meanwhile, all wisdom is His.
