Exactly. Or when the creation account says seven days while using the word "day" (Hebrew yohm) as being 1) the daylight hours metaphorically, 2) the day as being a literal 24 hour period metaphorically, 3) the entire creation period of 6 days as 1 day the word "day" is up for consideration. Especially when the seventh day is still going on thousands of years later, to this day. If, likewise, I use the term "my grandfather's day" in a way that doesn't beg the conclusion that my grandfather lived exactly a single 24 hour period and compare that to the thousand year "Judgment day" of the Bible a literal 144 hour creation is pretty irresponsible. After years of study I am confident it is also uninformed.
