Do you not understand that the word "day" can have different meanings and can cover a longer period of time then 24 hours?
I'll post this here from your other thread in case you missed it.
A point that you are still missing and it's a really big one is what I quoted earlier on what Paul said and that is "we are still in the 7th day" which is God's rest day. (Heb 4:1-11)
Adam and Eve's creation was at the end of the 6th creative day. The 7th started right as that 6th day ended.
Also, were Adam and Eve only on the earth for 24 hours after God created them? No of course not as the Bible clearly says Adam was by himself for an extended period of time to do many things, such as naming all the animals before Eve was ever created. Could Adam do that tremendous work in just a few hours??????
So...if one were to really think this out logically, there is no way none of the creative days would be a 24 hour period. If that were true God's rest day would have been over more then 6 thousand years ago, but according to Paul, we are still in that 7th day.
