Nice try, but you guys should really stop using this one. The Exodus 11 argument doesn’t hold water: What of Leviticus 25:1-4, which uses the creation week pattern in terms of years? The creation week is used as a pattern of “one out of seven” in both cases, not a real-time reference. See also the eight day “Feast of the Tabernacles” in Leviticus 23:33-36 that celebrated God’s protection in the desert that lasted forty years — obviously eight days is not a one-to-one correlation with forty years.

There is no analogy the Septuagint makes it specific 24 hour days. I don't have a problem with 24 hour day creation cycle cause of the curse Rom 8:22 For we know that the whole creation groaneth and travaileth in pain together until now. as Paul states. Our knowledge of physics precurse is conjecture. I find no need to torture the text to conform to my science. If the age of the earth is such importance then consider Upheaval in Physics: History of the Light-Speed Debate
