There is no getting around it, the Bible describes each day of creation as a normal length Earth day.

There is nothing in the bible that defines a day (yom) as being a constant 24 hours or 86,400 seconds. It is the interval between sunrise and sunrise, there is no greater precision cited. As recently as 1999–2005 the average annual length of the mean solar day in excess of 86,400 SI seconds has varied between 0.3 ms and 1 ms.

“There is no getting around it, the Bible describes each day of creation as a normal length Earth day.”

That is the same thing as someone (living in the 21st century) saying, “Evolution is a fact. It’s set forth in `Origin of the Species.’

The both beg the question. Nevertheless, another entertaining thread G-man.
