Odd that the creator of the universe and all things would base a time system on a "day" of 24 earth hours, a time that relates to it's relationship to one star.

And then we also have THIS to contend with:


2 Peter 3:8
But do not forget this one thing, dear friends: With the Lord a day is like a thousand years, and a thousand years are like a day.

It was lost on the other poster. He also doesn't understand literary device. He sets up a strawman, one that says that in the Genesis account is the blow by blow eyewitness account by an uninterested scientist and that everyone takes it that way. Then he knocks down the strawman.

I remain bored with that approach.
