St. Origen first proposed circa 2 hundred advert that the Genesi tale wasnt literal. It hasnt been considered a literal with the aid of Christianity seeing that then. there have been discourse written with the aid of Christian commentators for now 2 thousand years discussing no longer something however the advent tale in Genesis. so as to declare "It became no longer till the nineteenth century that thi rationalization got here forward" is very evidently incorrect.

Thats a translation error. The original Hebrew it says "and time passed." I once attended a public lecture by Loui Leakey in which he pointed that out, and commented that whoever wrote Genesi got the order of creation exactly right, as subsequently discovered by geologists and palaeontologists. Aside from being an archaeologist and palaontologist, Leakey was the son of a well educated Anglican missionary, and knew hi ancient language.

Its only the last 2 - 3 hundred years that a accurate time scale has been in operation
to measure the time for a one revolution of the earth in relation to the suns position
some people say that the earth is gradually slowing down so it is possible that the days
mechanically were longer but the relationship of the position per revolution sun has not
changed. With the invention of time 24 hr day 360 deg rotation was a convenient
mathematical figure.

The earth is 4.6 billion years old, not 6000.

There are different creation story idea myths.

The literal creation story, that all things were created in six days. One that it was done in six days, but it was spaced out over the period of thousands or millions of years and different other ideas.

Creation is just a myth.

Thi really is the wrong section for this question. However, the biblical "day" referred to a single day, a year, or a period of time (e.g. In the day of Noah).

Hours were not yet invented then. A "day" is just a time unit for working. Work for a "day", then rest.

When Lord Brahma created the universe from Vishnu command, he worked for a "day", then he rested.

Dont start with "Creationism" here.

God "day" was however long He considered a unit of time. It could have been a naosecond, or it could have been billions of "mankinds" years. Since God could accomplish anything, time wa, and is irrelevant.
