I don't see anything in the Scriptures to rule it out. I don't see anything in the Scriptures to rule it out.

Six days. Are you claiming that on day one he created monkeys and on day seven the monkeys were man?

Six days.

What is a "day"?

According to modern man, a "day" is 24 hours which is the time it takes the Earth to rotate on it's axis (more or less).

According to Genesis, " God called the light 'day'. "

Genesis does not resort to any time frame accepted by modern man to define "day". It uses God's definitition that had absolutely nothing to do with the Earth's rotation around it's axis as "sky" was not created until the second day.

If you are going to takes "God's word" in interpreting the Bible, then you you need to take "God's word" that God defined "day" as "light" and not as modern man defines "day".
