OC - i'm not saying that it definitely wasn't 6 literal, 24 hour days as we have them now. i am saying that it may have been otherwise. God's time frame, may not be ours. it has only been within recent centuries that we've even had a 12 month calendar. time was marked differently then. for instance - someone in the old testament lived 800 years. 800 years in a 10 month system vs a 12 month system is pretty significant, somewhere around 133 years in our current system of counting.

anyway - i'm not going to argue this, you are free to believe what you want. if it matters to you then by all means, go ahead. it isn't a sticking point for me. i don't are if it was one 24 hour day or one 24000 hour day. i'm thinking that if God can create something from nothing, then time isn't really that big of an issue for Him.

nowhere in the Bible have i seen a verse that says "and God created all the birds and the fish, etc within 2 rotations of the hands on his timex"

i guess what i was trying to get at is that you can't convince someone to have faith - you can only display yours and let them question and decide for themselves. i think too often we get wrapped up in trying to prove things that... anyway - do what works for you.
