In the Genesis account, it is only the day of the “generations of man” that deals with references about time as recorded by human beings. That would be the SIXTH Creational Day in case you need another pointer.

It is really that simple.

Then be my guest. Explain to me how "evening and morning" can refer to anything other than what we understand them to be.

It seems to me that the only alternative is to interpret them as metaphorical, and metaphorical language always is symbolic of an underlying related truth.

Clearly then, this underlying related truth must correlate to some type of dichotomous division of those eons, as represented metaphorically by days.

What then is this truth....this distinguishable division of the eons?
