For a thousand years in thy sight are but as yesterday when it is past, and as a watch in the night. - Psalms 90:4
But, beloved, be not ignorant of this one thing, that one day is with the Lord as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day. - 2 Peter 3:8
You are making my point, not yours, if the term 'days' are meaningless, then why use them at all, and why all this nonsense...
And God said, “Let there be light,” and there was light. 4 God saw that the light was good, and he separated the light from the darkness. 5 God called the light “day,” and the darkness he called “night.” And there was evening, and there was morning—the first day.
Why the earth day when referring to a 'day' in all other parts of scripture, the theme ''and then there was evening, and there was morning'' meaning on earth for each stage of creation. Why not simply use something like ''and then after a time the lord choose to carry on with his creation''
The term 'Days' aren't meaningless if it's clearly defined. The measurement of time is relative, it's not universal. We measure a day by the rotation of the earth, THAT"S SPECIFIC TO THE EARTH... If you lived on a different planet are you measuring time by earth standards?
The Bible makes it clear that God counts time differently than we do.
'Eve' simply means the period of time before an event and 'dawn' simply means beginning of a phenomenon or period of time, neither are explicitly referring to a 24hr period.
Every 'day', no matter how you measure it, has a beginning and end....
