Two scenarios that may/may not happen.

The day referred to in this verse is still taken to be the familiar twenty-four-hour day and nothing more by Jewish and Christian fundamentalists today:

Genesis 1:5 - And God called the light Day, and the darkness he called Night. And the evening and the morning were the first day.

Indeed, until the 19th century, there was never any question about this. It was universally assumed that the days referred to were literally days-twenty-four-hour periods. In the 19th century, however, it became more and more clear that Earth was millions of years old, and in almost the first retreat from the literal acceptance of the Bible, there began to be some hesitancy about those "days."

You're conflating two different things. In the scripture you posted, there is a period marking the end of a sentence. "morning" and "evening" don't necessarily describe a 24 hour period they simply mark the start and end of a day.

It's like you think the writer of Genesis caught amnesia somewhere between the 2nd and 5th chapters of Genesis where It's CLEARLY states:

But of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, thou shalt not eat of it: for in the day that thou eatest thereof thou shalt surely die.
- Genesis 2:17

And all the days that Adam lived were nine hundred and thirty years: and he died. - Genesis 5:5

The above proves that the Bible is measuring 1000 years as one day as it relates to God. God said Adam would die the day he partook of the tree, and he died at age 930... which falls within the 1000 year day.

So Genesis lied when it used the term "days", as Adam only lived one day?  How does any of this prove that 1 day equals 1000 years?  Do you know what "prove"means?  What is Martinizing and why does it take one hour?

Inquisitive minds want to know.
