You don't know anything about Biblical literary styles or Hebrew writing do you? The Hebrew word for days in Genesis doesn't explicitly say 24 hr days, in fact context dictates otherwise. That means the days in Exodus 20:8-11 aren't 24hr days either.

Young-Earthism is NOT Biblical

It says evening and morning in Genesis. Unless God was trying to mislead us, the implication is that it is, in fact, a 24 hour day (by our clocks).

I don't believe you ever answered yes or no to the question of whether you believe what God wrote on the Tablets of stone, specificially that the Lord made the heavens and the earth and all that in them is in six days. Now do you believe that? Yes or no?
