Wow. You really reject the evidence of the world if it conflics with
the Bible? Tell us, Davey, which of those two (world and Bible) was
directly created by God, and which was created and altered by man?

And why is it important that these periods be twenty-four hours?

To be consistent, I would think you have to believe that God has two
arms, two legs, ten fingers, toes, etc. Otherwise you're allowing
that some of the references in Genesis 1 and 2 are spiritual rather
than physical, and you offer no reason to choose the latter.

Which moment? You said six days before.
