The Hebrew word translated “day” (Yom) in Genesis 1 has four distinct literal (yes literal) definitions:
(1) part of the daylight hours, for example, noon to 3 PM; (2) all of the daylight hours; (3) one rotation period of Earth—currently 24 hours; and (4) an extended, but finite period of time.
Sure, but when Genesis is talking about the seven yoms of creation week, each yom has one light period and one dark period. So that's seven 24 hour days.
