Adding another section
I was wondering if it would be ok to add "God's devine intervention that created a day"? This would be comprised of showing how separation of light did this. Which also means the rotation of the earth is what determined a day. And is further backed up by the mention of the 4 parts of a day which is also what happens as the earth rotates on it's axis.[http://creationwiki.org/User_talk:Ikester7579 Talk] 14:08, 26 August 2007 (EDT)
The statement that the day could periods of time as opposed to literal 24 hours is not just innaccurate. The bible clearly states that "a day is 1,000 years" to God - 2 Peter 3:8; Psalms 90:4. Yet the original bible terms for day are flexible and that is a fact! Saying 'that is it,' or 'that is not,' is just guessing either way. With God thing that seem impossible can be at times possible. - Matthew 19:26 --Anaccuratesource 05:42, 3 December 2009 (UTC)
- Your omission of words is misleading, so is your quote. You should quote more accurately.
2 Peter 3:8-9 (New International Version) 8But do not forget this one thing, dear friends: With the Lord a day is like a thousand years, and a thousand years are like a day. 9The Lord is not slow in keeping his promise, as some understand slowness. He is patient with you, not wanting anyone to perish, but everyone to come to repentance.
- Clearly in 2 Peter 8-9, the quote "a day is LIKE a thousand years" is a way in which God communicates His long lasting promise. The fact a day in of itself can be compared to 1,000 years implies a fixed amount time for the period of day. Namely 24 hours. --Tony 07:13, 3 December 2009 (UTC)
