it doesn't get any clearer than that.

There is no doubt that the days referred to in Genesis were literal 24 hour periods.

no doubt Really? Let's see: "And the E V E N I N G and the M O R N I N G were the first day..." More accurate translations read something like "And the E V E N I N G and the M O R N I N G - first day..." which, in Hebrew, suggests something other than a 24hr day. I often ask young-earthers, if it really is 24hr days, why doesn't the text explictly say so? It doesn't. The Hebrew clearly doesn't, only bad translations do. Bet Ken Ham failed to mention that. Why Young-Earthism is Not Biblical or Literal by Any Stretch
