Genesis 1:14 did not say a day was a 24-hour period. Genesis 1:14 says:
And God said, Let there be lights in the firmament of the heaven, to divide the day from the night: and let them be for signs, and for seasons, and for days, and years.
Please show me where it says "24 hours."
Just because it's 24 hours today, does not mean it was 24 hours back then. How do you know that a full day to God isn't millions of years to a human?
Remember the Sabbath day, to keep it holy. Six days you shall labor and do all your work, but the seventh day is the Sabbath of the LORD your God. In it you shall do no work: you, nor your son, nor your daughter, nor your male servant, nor your female servant, nor your cattle, nor your stranger who is within your gates. For in six days the LORD made the heavens and the earth, the sea, and all that is in them, and rested the seventh day. Therefore the LORD blessed the Sabbath day and hallowed it.
Again, the Torah never mentions "24 hours." Man didn't keep time back then, so the concept was foreign to them.?
Do you believe the Torah, the Written Law and the Oral Law are the absolute Words of God and was written by God and handed to Moses completed? If so, are you a Christian?
Thus why a christian could still not deny it, for it would mean they would have to say they know the will of their god, which he clearly says is not a good thing to do.
"The day-age (progressive) creation account is non-literal and contradicts the clear teaching of Genesis." I hear or see this complaint quite often, although the statement is incorrect regarding both accusations. I take all of the biblical creation accounts literally. Nothing is symbolic. The Hebrew word yom1 has three literal meanings - a 12-hour period of time (sunrise to sunset), a 24-hour period of time from sunset to sunset (the Hebrew day), and an indefinite period of time. The day-age interpretation of Genesis does not require the use of symbolism to explain the creation account.
Genesis Clearly Teaches that the Days Were NOT 24 Hours
FYI!I believe in evolution but not creationism. I find the story of creationism to be incompatible with evolution. Creationism says God created the earth first before the heavens, and that God created man before the animals. Both are scientifically incorrect.
However, God may have been the spark for evolution and set it in motion.
No Toro, the Bible does NOT say he created the earth before the Heavens...
Genesis 1
The Beginning
1 In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth.
genesis 1, lists Heavens, then Earth.
3 And God said, "Let there be light," and there was light. 4 God saw that the light was good, and He separated the light from the darkness. 5 God called the light "day," and the darkness he called "night." And there was evening, and there was morningthe first day.

I just listened to a sermon on Genesis the other day in church, too!
This is what I meant.

God created the earth before he created light, i.e. the sun. This is scientifically incorrect.
He could have. my father in law brought up this possibility at church and was treated like a heretic.

How did Noah get all those animals on one boat? And how did kangaroos travel all the way from australia to get on Noah's boat?

A better question would be how did Koalas and Kangaroos get from the Ark to Australia? {shrug}
Doesn't matter and I don't care. It's one of those questions that I'll leave to God to answer in his own time. Like the question I'll ask him about evolution when the time comes. "How close was Charles Darwin when he developed his theory?" Does it really matter anyway? If you believe in God does "How" he created the universe matter?
We have to accept that by all scientific evidence species evolve in some manner, whether it be developing new forms of life i.e. ape to man, or whether it be new species i.e. wolf to poodle. What does all of this have to do with whether or not God actually put the ball in motion?

In other words, you will ignore the glaring inconsistencies that contradict your beliefs? Being inquisitive and asking questions is how we find out how the universe works. If we all put blinders on and said "leave it to God", we'd still be living in caves.
So basically God was just bowling planets across the universe until one by one they got caught in a gravitational pull. Makes sense to me!i believe science speculates, however many million, billion years ago we were pushed somehow in to rotating around the sun and getting our moon....we actually were in Darkness....i GOT goose bumps when i heard this...!
so, big bang...universe or the heavenS and the earth is created...
we were in darkness....didn't have a Sun or moon
then we were given light....got kicked in to the milky way, had the sun and moon, controlled the tides, shook up earth, the firmament rose out of the water....the continent Pangea....and days were similar to the 24hour days we have now....though i saw on a documentary that our days were much longer than 24 hours as well...
when we were not connected to rotating around the sun, our so called days could have been millions of years...
SEE? hahahahaha! IT'S real easy...it all fits nicely in MY head!!!!!!
