OK, Radix. I want you to go into the text of Genesis, and provide your rationale for the radically shifting lengths of time that you’ve posited, for each and every usage of the word “yom” pertaining to the Creation account, translated as “day” in most Bible translations.

Below are the definitions and contexts that you omitted from your lengthy and unnecessary source code dump from the Strong’s site. You seem to be claiming to have used them, somehow.

Outline of Biblical Usage

1) day, time, year

a) day (as opposed to night)

b) day (24 hour period)

1) as defined by evening and morning in Genesis 1

2) as a division of time

a) a working day, a day’s journey

c) days, lifetime (pl.)

d) time, period (general)

e) year

f) temporal references

1) today

2) yesterday

3) tomorrow

2 Peter 3:8......

More copy/paste

“But, beloved, be not ignorant of this one thing, that one day is with the Lord as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day.

Each day in Genesis is clearly different from the others.

The 6th day is in fact quite defined as to how long it is as opposed to the other days which are not quite so defined as to duration/time.

We are living in the 6th Day. You, Me, everyone else ever heard of, written of, known of, lives (lived) in the 6th Day.

I am sad that you are unwilling or unable to grasp that concept.
