So, in other words, to borrow from the words of BJ Klintoon, "It depends upon what the meaning of the word 'is' 'day' is." Please, show me elsewhere in the Bible where the Hebrew 'yom' (day) means an indefinitely longer length of time, such as you propose in Genesis 1. Also where, in your point of view, does yom revert back to meaning approximately 24 hours instead of an indefinitely longer length of time?

It must have been before Genesis 4 and 5 where we have a list of men who lived as old as 969 years. Or, is that too, a 'misinterpretation' of timing? Was Methuselah perhaps 353,685,000 years old and Adam 339,450,000 years old when they died instead of 969 and 930 years of age, respectively? (You are a smart fellow, so see 2 Peter 3:8 for the math)

You say that you are a Bible-believing Christian. So do LDS (with their proviso that the Bible is correct 'insofar as it was correctly translated') Even Muslims claim that the Bible contains God's revelation but is corrupted. If you believe that there are errors, then once again, I must iterate that you doubt God's Word. 'Cafeteria Christianity' is nothing less that worshipping a 'form' of God, rather than 'God', always learning but never able to come to a knowledge of the truth. (2 Timothy 3)

Scripture is without error. The same does not hold for YOUR interpretation of it.

Do you understand the concept or "relativistic time"?
