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.

"Evening and morning point exclusively to a 24-hour day. "

Thank you for that.

I believe truthfinder9 thinks he is somehow defending God's Word with his interpretation. I think he would do better to let it say what it really says - rather than reinterpret it in order to make it more palatable to modern sensibilities.

evening and morning means 24 hour day.

No it doesn't: The Hebrew for the phrase “evening and morning” or “evening, and there was morning” has usages not limited to 24-hour days. In fact, there are numerous usages in the Bible that this phrase, or variants of it, refers to continuous processes or activities. Exodus 18:13, 27:21, Leviticus 24:2-3 and Daniel 8:14,26 all use this phrase in a context of something that occurs on a continual basis over more than one 24-hour day. Like all young-earth talking points, the "evening and morning" claim fails in about 10 seconds of careful examination.
