Anyone who professes to be a Christian cannot look upon those days as long periods of time.The Hebrew word for day(yom) is used 2301 times outside of Genesis. Anytime the word yom is modified by a number;such as 1 st day or second day; or the words morning and evening; it's always translated as a 24 hour day. You need to keep the word in it's syntax. I don't think anyone can translate it as "there was evening and morning, the first billion years". The problem with Christians and long periods of time, the evolutionists say we have 200 plus million of years of fossils. Fossils are dead animals. That means there was millions of years of pain, disease, suffering and death before sin. But Genesis, chapter 3 clearly teaches that pain, disease, suffering and death were the result of sin. Therefore, all the death we see in the fossil record came about after Adam sinned. As Christians, we're looking forward to Christ coming back and restoring Paradise. Do any Christians agree with me?
