I can accept the Hebrew concept of a day beginning at evening, this was what I was referring to when I said evening to evening implies a 24 hour day, as it is a normal Hebrew day. But FOR ME, I cannot in faith make that inference for the words in Gen 1, “becoming evening, becoming morning, day one”. I cannot claim you are NOT acting in faith thinking it means a 24 hour day, my only request is that I wish to be considered similarly, that since, in faith I am not able to see it as a 24 hour day, my belief in OE not be dinked as somehow “less than” belief in YE. That is, for me, the description is not a 24 hour day or a 12 hour day (daytime) for that matter, so it must be a metaphor for a longer time for me. And this is just one tiny reason I am OE.
