Hmmm...If I was standing is a railroad car and the train was traveling east at 60 miles per hour, but I was facing west, and I was shaving with a Bic throwaway making 40 strokes per minute, how much force would it take to move the razor toward my ear as compared to moving it toward my chin...Hmmm...
*nod* - Then you see the problem. Is time constant? If it ISN’T, then is it consistent? (IE are there splotches that are ‘faster’ than others?) What about the speed of light, is that constant? It changes in atmosphere and water, so if space is not statistically uniform (in terms of density), then light isn’t a constant speed.
But this DOES apply to the question you asked me. About wether or not it is a 24/hr day or not. Consider that it is God giving an account of things, and consider that a thousand years are as a day and a day is as a thousand years to God, and consider that if “without Him, nothing was made that was made” then time must have been made too. Because time is a made thing, God must exist outside of time. If God exists outside of time, then all points in time are the same, in some sense. If all points in time are the same, in some sense, to God... then He may group them into whatever units He so desires. IE God is not bound by time, and therefore the “24-hr creation day” needn’t be 24-hrs as we see it.
What I’ve been trying to say is this: Time doesn’t affect God; God effects and affects time.
