If that were true, the Hebrew would say "24 hour days." It doesn't, so try again.
"If that were true, the Hebrew would say "24 hour days." It doesn't, so try again."
We've been over this, but for the sake of others I'll quote from JohnnyM who answered you on this issue ...
"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."
"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."
