You are correct about that. The order stated in Genesis is right on.

I was reading your courteous dialog here about the the Creation account in Genesis and remembered this recent article about the age of the universe. I don't recall if either of you were on it,(and I don't really have the time at the moment to peruse the whole thread, so if you saw it, forgive me) but if you hadn't I thought it might be of interest concerning the whole 6 days of creation issue. I found it fascinating, especially at the end when the author ties it all together because of what science knows about time and it's passage in relation to speed.

I have to clarify the definition of the Hebrew word "yom". I was multitasking at the time and not sure if I defined it properly so I'll make sure it's correct through this.

Whenever the Hebrew word YOM (used for each of the six creation days) is used with a number or the words "evening" or "morning" or the word "night" it ALWAYS means a LITERAL day.
