Hi Happydog,
The issue at hand is far greater than merely being unsure of a time frame not spoken of.
IT IS THE ACCURACY AND AUTHORITY OF THE BIBLE-THE WORD OF GOD.
By any person proclaiming they believe God/Jesus did not make the heavens and the earth ALL in 6 days literally a 24hour time period....is do denounce the 10 commandments even.
huhhh??? what did he say??
That is correct.
Lets look at the 10 commandments shall we in Exodus 20. (KJV)
Exd 20:1 ¶ And God spake all these words, saying,
Exd 20:2 ¶ I [am] the LORD thy God, which have brought thee out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage.
Exd 20:3 ¶ Thou shalt have no other gods before me.
Exd 20:4 ¶ Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image, or any likeness [of any thing] that [is] in heaven above, or that [is] in the earth beneath, or that [is] in the water under the earth:
Exd 20:5 Thou shalt not bow down thyself to them, nor serve them: for I the LORD thy God [am] a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children unto the third and fourth [generation] of them that hate me;
Exd 20:6 And shewing mercy unto thousands of them that love me, and keep my commandments.
Exd 20:7 ¶ Thou shalt not take the name of the LORD thy God in vain; for the LORD will not hold him guiltless that taketh his name in vain.
Exd 20:8 ¶ Remember the sabbath day, to keep it holy.
Exd 20:9 Six days shalt thou labour, and do all thy work:
Exd 20:10 But the seventh day [is] the sabbath of the LORD thy God: [in it] thou shalt not do any work, thou, nor thy son, nor thy daughter, thy manservant, nor thy maidservant, nor thy cattle, nor thy stranger that [is] within thy gates:
----*listen up now*------
Exd 20:11 For [in] six days the LORD made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that in them [is], and rested the seventh day: wherefore the LORD blessed the sabbath day, and hallowed it.
Exd 20:12 ¶ Honour thy father and thy mother: that thy days may be long upon the land which the LORD thy God giveth thee.
Exd 20:13 ¶ Thou shalt not kill.
Exd 20:14 ¶ Thou shalt not commit adultery.
Exd 20:15 ¶ Thou shalt not steal.
Exd 20:16 ¶ Thou shalt not bear false witness against thy neighbour.
Exd 20:17 ¶ Thou shalt not covet thy neighbour's house, thou shalt not covet thy neighbour's wife, nor his manservant, nor his maidservant, nor his ox, nor his ass, nor any thing that [is] thy neighbour's.
...and so forth.
Now lets actually look in the bible itself my friend. (KJV)

Gen 2:3 And God blessed the seventh day, and sanctified it: because that in it he had rested from all his work which God created and made.
-------------------------------ALRIGHT---------
SO...Satan did not create anything.
and God tells us 12hour periods. 2.
night/day evening/morning sun/moon
1st day, 2nd day 3rd day etc, plain as can be.
Also God wrote the bible, man just "published it" you could say.
EVERY JOT AND TITLE IS WITHOUT ERROR.
Mathematics reveals the handywork of God, including punctuations in the KJ BIBLE.
People may study stocks, I love the KJBIBLE.
We have nooooooo idea how much is truely revealed within the pages of the bible.
1 day= (2) 12 hour periods. 12x12=144
(2) witnesses to something great, 144
144,000= the number of witnesses for God consisting of what?
12,000 of 12 tribes.
Everything!! =) in the bible SERVES A *FORESHADOWING PURPOSE.
After.......researching such things YOURSELF(WHOMOEVER) people will discover! this for themselves 100%.
God deals in #'s through the pages of His Word.
I can get into that another time. Or do some DD and youll see the info is available from people before us, that have cared to reallllly research the very pages of scripture.
I may not be that old, but I study to show myself approved, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing THE WORD OF TRUTH. =] Praise the Lord.
I love you my friend, as Christ loves ALL, that seek HIM, though His Ways. John14:6
***I will stop with that for the moment.
THE KING JAMES BIBLE IS WITHOUT ERROR AND HOLDS THE KEYS TO ALL THAT IS NEEDED, TO RECEIVE THAT WHICH MANKIND LACKS.
Be blessed and feed your soul with the LIVING TRUTH OF GOD. =]
