True, but once there was a sun, would the length of a day change? The pattern was made in heaven. The pattern is more essential than the sun itself.
Very good question. I am very interested in this problem, but haven't got much time to work on it. I hope I could start something soon.
In geological science, the uniqueness of the Earth is just one part of the miracle. The other part is the uniqueness of our moon and its close relationship to the earth. To be short, it IS possible that the early "days" on the earth is much shorter than the 24-hr day today. And the length of an earth day is getting longer.
Of course, this is just a model. But it is the main stream model. I am troubled in trying to fit this idea to the Scripture. One thing nearly all people neglected is that the critical role of the moon as it is mentioned in Gen 1. Everyone is attracted to the sun only. We know now that our moon is different from all other moons in the solar system.
