You seem to be limiting God in His abilities.

You know, that's the argument that's always given when people don't know a better answer. God has the ability to feed us all with manna but are you going to stand out on your front lawn tomorrow morning and wait for it to fall? If you go to the grocery store, then you may very well be limiting God's ability to provide for you.
Nobody argues that God did not have the ability to create the universe in 6 days or milliseconds. The question is what did God CHOOSE to do.
You're basing your argument on one POSSIBLE interpretation of a single word in the early chapters of Genesis. However, the revelation that God gave us through his creation strongly contradicts that one possible interpretation. Why not choose the interpretation of that word, yom, that fits the evidence that God has shown us through his creation? You have two choices: (1) either your interpretation of the word yom is incorrect, or; (2) God's revelation through his creation is incorrect. Choose your pick.

No reading of these passages can infer, imply, or somehow suggest that it is not a 24 hour period. You choose to refuse it not by the Word of God as it is written, but by the knowledge of fallible man. You are interpreting the Bible through the lens of man's current understanding that is subject to change.

There is no interpretation of this passage that can make yom be anything other than a 24 hour day. There is too much against that interpretation. You are totally ignoring the language and context in which it is used. You totally ignore the morning and evening aspect, the numbering, and the passages in other parts of Scripture (i.e. Exodus) that unequivocally show that it is a 24 hour day.

You have yet to provide any sort of rebuttal to these remarks other than "science says it, so I believe it". You can doubt the clear Word of God all you want, but you are falling into the trap that befell Adam and Eve. Hath God said....
