Let The Creatard Shitting of Bricks Begineth

Even the English word 'day' requires context, i.e., " in their grandfather's day", or "day of the dinosaurs". The creation passages are completely harmonious with science when the Hebrew word 'Yom' is correctly interpreted in context as 'a long but finite period of time'.

...and the context of the first creation account is "there was evening, and there was morning, the XXth day." The context indicates a regular 24-hour day, not "back in the day" or "in our day." And since the account refers to the supernatural actions of a supernatural being, they are not 'harmonious' with science at all. They are specifically the magical acts of a powerful sorcerer.

Well, get a load of this: an atheist has embraced the young earthies belief that the Genesis ‘day(s)’ = 24 hours. Will miracles ever cease? Actually, the sentence “There was evening, and there was morning” is a ’day’ maker that ends each of the first six days, and the sentence is only found in Genesis. The seventh day is different in that the day marker is absent. The seventh day carries through the centuries from Adam and Eve, through our present age + an unspecified time + 7 year tribulation period + the 1000 year kingdom reign of Christ. Then at that time point, God fulfills His purpose for the cosmos *. This will end and His Sabbath rest from creation. Then God replaces it with an entirely new creation, a new heaven and new earth, and the New Jerusalem (the coming eighth day).
The same Ancient Hebrew word of ’day’ for the six other days is the same word used for the seventh day. Interpreting ‘day(s)’ as literal is not enough, but has to be interpreted with both internal and external consistency. Hebrew tradition has always recognized a 24 hour literal day as a period from ‘evening to evening’, not evening to morning.
