The proof is all very independent, yet the proof from many varied area of study verifies itself. For example we spend a lot of time looking at fossils. Now in the last 50 years we have discovered DNA and the DNA evidence can verify what we have found and established through the study of fossils.
There were days and nights... God created the sun and moon to measure them for us.
Wrong nice try though. First we had a big crunch, then the universe began to expand. The Hasidim use the word contract. Neil DeGrasse Tyson talks about this in he latest book on Astrophysics. Before the big crunch we had infinity and solidarity. After the crunch we had a finite universe with a duality or dichotomy. Corruption and decay that would eventually end in the death of the universe. This is when time grabbed a hold of the Universe. Gerald Schroeder talks about this.
A day is nothing to God because He is outside of time. A day is a literal 24 hour that contains all time and all the ages (eras). I can best explain the dispensations when a day is equal to 1,000 years. Gerald Schroeder can best explain OEC Old Earth Creationism. For him each day is half the length of the day before. This is based on the perspective of from the beginning. We are looking back on time from a different perspective. Right now we are at the beginning of the 14 day. They all this the kingdom age. The church age is soon coming to an end. Also this is refereed to as the Holy Spirit dispensation or the Age of Grace. There are many names for the age we are currently in.

And... it will have a physical end.. Nobody said that the earth was eternal. Christ will destroy this earth and heaven.. and make a new heaven and a new earth.
The actual value is 23 hours, 56 minutes and 4 seconds. Only there is some variation because the planets effect themselves different at different stages of their rotation around the sun. We use an atomic clock because it is more accurate. Then they adjust the clock based on the solar clock. They have had to make an adjustment 3 times in the last year of one second. Two steps forward, one step back.
The earth was created in 6 literal days. Using elements that took 6 billion years to create.
Yes the Hebrew Letter Peh is shaped like an ear, even though it represent the mouth or speech. We are told in Genesis that "God said", He spoke creation into being. Man has been given the ability to understand how the world was created through speech. This is a letter inside of a letter.
Yes Moses tells us this in Psalms and Peter talks about this also.
