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

evening and morning means 24 hour day.

The word used for day in these passages can mean a time period (i.e. in my father's day) or a 24 hour day. Evening and morning point exclusively to a 24-hour day.
