Why would thousands or millions of years be described as morning (singular) and evening (singular)? One daytime and one nighttime doesn’t work well for millions/billions of years. I think it would have been wise for God to say there were mornings (plural) and evenings (plural) if He meant to identify many human days. Remember that God is the one who created time.

However it might be better to discuss the issues that I have brought up regarding why Adam was not deceived, like the issue of animals created after Adam. How does the creation of animals after Adam in Genesis 2 become an important fact to glean from the account? Does this present any problems for those who see the creation account as sequential events over thousands (millions, billions) of years? Or is the creation of animals after Adam a thing to be ignored by OEC believers? This is what interests me.
