Sorry, but here is a list of quite a few world-class scholars, apologists, theologians, etc., who disagree with that statement:

Notable Christians Open to an Old Earth Interpretation

The title of the link that you suggest indicates that perhaps you didn't follow the implications of what the quote that P-M posted actually said.

It said, "no professor...does not believe..the writers...intended to convey...creation...of six days..of 24 hours..."

Since that is the straight-forward reading of the passage, then to say that it is what the writers "intended to convey."

Your link uses the word "interpretation." That suggests taking the OBVIOUS and applying a methodology to it in order to arrive at an understanding.

The quote above is dealing with the "obvious" PRIOR TO the interpretation.

And the straight-forward, obvious look at the passage says, "6 days."

It is indisputable.

"It is indisputable"

It's only indisputable if you neglect the contradictions young-earth causes. In biblical study there's a huge difference between superficical reading and in-depth exegeis. Young-earthism is the former rather than the latter.
