Bobby, I'm with you 100% Yom=Day.
I am a firm creationist, I believe the genesis account to be perfectly accurate and the exact truth, that God Created the universe and everyting in it at his spoken word in 6 literal days.
Here's my issue,
Until the fourth day there was no solor 'day' (cycle) with which we get our measurement of morning and evening being a day as we know it.
That leaves days 1-3 at an undertermined length of time as we measure it. Its always been my assumption that since the term is used for each day 1-7, then it is the same time incrument each day. My assumption is based on the consistancy of God, demonstrated in his character and attributes.
But I have never been able to settle this issue in my head, it remains one of those things I will ask God when I face him.
I have tons of articles by Dr. Morris, I am on his mailing list for ICR. I feel so highly about him and his orginization that I regularly send funds to aid his program and continued research. I have visited his intstitute in San Diego several times. Its absolutely fascinating!
Thanks for posting this article.
