"I apologize for coming across in that way."

Thanks Jubi but I hadn't taken it personally, I was just curious.

Just want to refer to Genesis 2: 4 where it states: " This is the account of
the heavens and the earth when they were created, in the day that the LORD God
made earth and heaven.

After outlining the creative days the whole creative period is referred to as "day."

For our purpose here, I am keeping it simple saying that there are many uses for the word "day" as it refers to other units of time of varying length. In both the Hebrew and Greek Scriptures the word "day" (Heb.,yohm/yom; Gr., hemera) is used in a literal and in a figurative or even symbolic sense.


I am familiar with this issue and the fact that "Day" in Hebrew is used in different ways depending on the context.

It can be used for both a literal 24 hr day or a period of time of varying lengths. Let me ask you a question: Could God have done His work in six literal days if He chose to do that?
