I'm pretty sure I am not going to make any friends with what I think about the answer to this question.
For such a small group that I worship with, we have a LOT of scientists, some physicists, engineers, enough PhDs to supply a whole Bible Belt church.
Still, when asked how lone a day is, I'll go with 24 hours, especially from the fourth day of Creation on...that's when the sun, the moon and the stars were placed in the heavens. Before that, there might be some play.
Still, I am a young earth guy, 10,000-6,000 years old, closer to the 6,000 years perhaps.
But, what about?
If a scientist were to wander close to my house they would find a creek running nearby. Were they to guess how long it took that creek to form by natural causes they might estimate it took several hundred years. In truth, it took a couple of men on a back hoe about a week.
When the old earth scientists tell me there must of necessity be millions of years for certain formations to become as they are and such, I hear, yeah, that's a small indication of how powerful the Creator is.
What would take 1,000s or 1,000,000s of years if left to the natural course of things, the Creator could do in an instant or a day. Yeah, the Creator is that powerful.
It's important, especially when you consider the Creator's relation to creation.
