With the mounting evidence are Reformers better to understand that each day is a period of time, not 24 hrs? Let's talk.

Not me. Six days. Period.With the mounting evidence are Reformers better to understand that each day is a period of time, not 24 hrs? Let's talk.
I would like to believe the literal 24 hour day in Gen. 1, because the traditional view is easy to accept, since I am generally lazy, as I can simply adopt what I was taught by others. However, this traditional view has some problems, and I example one of them here:With the mounting evidence are Reformers better to understand that each day is a period of time, not 24 hrs? Let's talk.
Which parts, and what do you base that on?neither is Genesis all literal.
A day of 1000 yrs and night of a 1000 yrs. I'm pretty sure the sun didn't move when Israel was at war, I'll remember the vs in a minute, brain fog.The fact that the language clearly states the morning and evening comprised each day, is too unambiguous to claim each day is an indeterminate length.
Not to mention trees and plants were created days before the sun was lit-off, and it’s obvious that they would die before they got sunlight, even if each day was only a hundred years long.
I’m pretty sure that’s not how exegesis works.There's biblical support, a day of the Lord is like a 1000 yrs.
I find it extremely defendable. But if you are going with the day-age theory, do you think Adam was a literal person?I apologize to GSF, I do tend to push an edge of a discussion. I've come to peace not having to defend something that is undefendable. Yahweh spoke creation, we base a day on 24 hrs in our physical universe, our King is not restrained by our constraints. I believe we (I in the past) are forcing a literal 6 day creation.
With a book.I find it extremely defendable. But if you are going with the day-age theory, do you think Adam was a literal person?
