[Polybius]

The answer to an apparent contradiction is not necessarily to throw one out in favor of the other, but rather to identify what went wrong in translation.

Exactly.

Which is why I don't worry too much if "Day" means 24 hours or if it means an "Era" of 200 million years. Precise words can get quite muddled with the re-telling of a story but the main point.....God creared all.....remains the same.

>>> Which is why I don't worry too much if "Day" means

In this case, I think it was important to God that we didn't mis-understand Him... which is why He defines what He means by 'day' in precise terms in Gen 1 as a 24 hour period.
