So - the word "day" would - for the god - have the same meaning today as it would at any other time
I do not ascribe to the day-age theory, but you lost me on this point. Care to elaborate?

You have a ways to go if you want to be in their league. I prefer to see quote-mining from peer-reviewed papers on actual experimental data, though- ideally, you should find a few words that, with the help of ellipses, you can make look like the exact opposite of the actual findings of the experiment.
Just trying to be helpful.
Deflecting from the issue at hand is one of my favorite tactics used by Darwinists; needless to say, you did not disappoint.
If that quote was out of context, then why did Dawkins place it on the very cover of The Blind Watchmaker? Is he quote-mining himself?
You now have a bit of an issue, some creationists (not me) argue that the Universe presents the illusion of being old, and Darwinists argue that life presents the illusion of being designed. What’s fair for one is fair for the other.
