Correct! The days recorded in Genesis are regular days with an evening and
a morning. We have divided the day into 24 hours which represents the
time of a complete rotation of the Earth to include both an evening and a
morning. This means the creation was completed in 144 hours. No need
for a debate over the meaning of root words. Case closed. 😏

I don't suppose you would believe me if I told you 300 million years ago the day was about 22 hours long. 300 million years from now it will be about 26 hours long. The Earth is losing spin speed very slowly.

The rabbis in question are Onkelos 150 CE, Rashi also known as Solemon ben Isaac 1040-1204 CE, Maimonides (Moses Ben Maimon 1135-1204 CE, and Nahmanides 1194-1278 CE.

As for evening and morning, the Hebrew term for "evening" is erev. The root meaning of erev means "mixed up, stirred together, disorderly. The Hebrew for "morning" is boker. It means the o ...[text shortened]... view that their calculations to be right, it is just their reasoning that was skewed.

As for evening and morning, the Hebrew term for "evening" is ereb and when
referring to a day means dusk or night. The Hebrew for "morning" is boqer
and means dawn, the break of day. See Stong's Concordance numbers 1242

There was no 300 million years ago. 😏

Yes I know, but what was being discussed were root words, not only one specific meaning.

You couldn't mean me for I am the one that brought of the theory of
Relativity in a much earlier post in dealing with light and time.

I would also be an OEC because there are too many things that militate against a young earth. Light/travel time / geology ect........ unless God is trying to fool mankind which I don't believe that.

God is not trying to fool anyone. He has made a simple pie out of it.
All you got to do is eat it. 😏

You have not provided any real proof that the earth is young but eat that pie if you choose.

Here is one gem from your 'scientific' paper there:

• It is well known that the interior of the Earth is very hot. For each mile you descend, the temperature increases by 118 degrees Fahrenheit. The Earth is a thousand miles in diameter; the core is so hot that the rocks are molten. Yet as Earth passes through the extreme cold of outer space, it's losing its heat. Even with the heat it receives from the sun, Earth's net heat loss is 1027 calories per second. This means that if it started at 190 degrees Fahrenheit on the surface, Earth would have been frozen stone cold to the center in the first 40 million years. If it were four billion years old, it should have been a huge sphere of ice over 100 times by now

"The Earth is a thousand miles in diameter' Right there in your so-called evidence.

"The Earth is losing 1027 calories per second". So this thousand mile diameter planet is losing one thousand calories per second. I don't see anything in there saying exactly how many calories of heat are present inside the Earth.

You should know better than to try to present such clap trap as real evidence.
