Reaad the whole post, not part.
Find me one Hebrew scholar that agees with anything other than the word day in Genesis 1 being anything other than 24 hours or a ltetarl 24 hour day. There are none, got it even the ones who believe in evolution agree that in the Genesis account a day means a day, one 24 hour period.

I did, and I replied. Now, I know you haven't read the entire page I cited, because it is a long read and your reading comprehension skills are not the best. The earliest scholars posited time being rolled up in the 24 hour periods, but later scholars cited complicated formulas involving the "thousand year day" cites along with such concepts as jubilee years to come up with the exact same number.
A less complex explanation of the same process can be found here.

Anyhoo, the gist of this whole thing is, you really are not nearly as well-read religiously as you like to think you are.
