Another point, we have defined the term “day” to mean the rotation of the Earth in relation to the sun; how, then, could there be any “day” (much less multiple ones) before God created the sun?

You determined it??? How about letting God determine it...

That's your 'logical' understanding of it...Obviously it's not God's...

Light and darkness were created before the Sun was created...A day obviously was determined by God before the Sun was created...

God created the Sun to line up with His definition of DAY, not yours...

Indeed. But doesn’t God speak to us in ways and terms we might have a chance at understanding even though we are, literally, little more than dirt in his eyes? (And that ‘little more’ that He gave us, He determined was enough to die for.)

So, I’ll ask you again: does it matter if it’s the “24-hour day” we (humanity) understands and lives by, or the thousand-years that “are like unto a day” to God, or a mere fraction of a second, or “millions and millions of years”? Hm?

Do not lose sight of this one thing my friend, a day unto the Lord is as a thousand years; and a thousand years a day.

So HIS definition of a day is obviously subjective.

Physically a day is variable as well. They are not “perfect” 24 hour days, nor were they always this exact length.

Morning and evening of a day without a Sun? Possibly poetic? No way! And Pi is 3. The earth has four corners and does not move. The sky is also solid./s
