...an exact six day span; I would NOT believe it....The parable of creation is that God didn't just snap fingers and “zot” the world into creation; neither was it the work of a lifetime....God rolled up sleeves, worked the equivalent of a man working six days, then rested for a “yom”."

And you have just agreed that God worked a six day span. And you have presented it as if you need to affirm the six days of creation and the one day of work.

So...which is it? Is it idiotic or is it what you believe?

The equivalent of god working a man's work week is an indeterminate period of time.

The Sun was not even created the first few “yoms”. Where does that necessitate exactly twenty four hours?
