You are right--I supported the 24 hour one ---however, when my computer broke and I had to get a new one last week, I lost all my saved documents and I have not been able to replace them yet. I lost a ton of stuff. I had the article about it. And I have posted it on here a few times. I think I can retrieve it if I buckle down and research some old posts. As I said---it is obvious that there are 2 different words used in the 2 Genesis. And there can be no denying that it says that to God a 1000 years is as a day and that has been used for prophetic times also. That is not twisting. I did not say the word beyom means a 1000 years--it can mean a long period of time whereas yom in Gen 1 is strictly 24 hours.
I keep all my files on an external hard drive. I have 2-3 which are the drives from my old PCs when they died. I bought housings at "Best Buy" or "Office Depot." I never store anything important on my PC. Here is the definition of "Yom." from BDB one of, if not the, most highly accredited Hebrew lexicons.
