the word for "day" here in Genesis can either mean an indeterminate amount of time (i.e. in my father's day) or a 24 hour period. The fact that the terms morning and evening are used to describe this word "day" points exclusively to a 24 hour period. Add to that the fact that these days are using a numbering scheme (i.e. first, second, third, fourth, etc ) makes the general era interpretation of day make no sense. I would never say "in my father's first day he did this and in my father's second day he did that." All that would be lumped together in one generic day. Add to this the fact that God used the creation days in Exodus to highlight the observance of the Sabbath, and its pretty much a slam dunk case.

In other words, you are going to ignore the examples that prove your "fact" wrong. That's called blind fundamentalism. And, by the way, why is the sabbath day not close out like the rest? Most Bible scholars would say that is a "slam dunk" proof that the days aren't 24 hour days.
