I know but I won’t tell you. I like watching you guys try to figure this crap out, it gives me something to do all day, I don’t just float around you know and my days drag on forever.
You’re not doing so well though. You have other stuff that’s more important than how old the earth is. Like Hillary, Iraq, Iran, North Korea, taxes and that damn Global warming crap, I knew I should have installed a larger capacity cooler but I just didn’t have the bucks, that boat was expensive to build you know?…Geeeeezzz, and the animals! They had to be fed! I sent all the poop to New Jersey as a joke, and they kept it! I sent the whiners that hugged the ships railing every day moaning about the smell to California, where they seem to have thrived. Talk about a place of sin, when did you see a good movie last? I gotta do something about that. I’m thinking a quake to cut it off and just float em all out to sea. Hey, it’ll be like the old days!
Look people, get over this petty BS, you’ll have your answers soon enough, life is short you know, that’s what I hear anyway. Live, be happy and stop this I’m right your wrong stuff, I’ll set you all straight when then time COMES, if I'm here.

Why the Hell should I have to press “1” for ENGLISH?
And what tells the reader which definition is right? Context.
The Day-Age hypothesis insisted with at least a semblance of textual plausibility that the days of creation were long periods of time of indeterminate length, although the immediate context implies that the term yôm for “day” really means “day”. Having devised a means for allowing Genesis 1 to be in harmony with an ancient planet, Day-Age advocates needed to demonstrate that the sequence of creative activities of Genesis chapter 1 matched the sequence of events deciphered by the astronomers and geologists. Well, Day-Agers outdid themselves in constructing impressive correlations. Of course, these correlations … all differed from each other. While a fairly convincing case could be made for a general concord, … specifics of these correlations were a bit more murky.
There were some textual obstacles the Day-Agers developed an amazing agility in surmounting. The biblical text, for example, has vegetation appearing on the third day and animals on the fifth day. Geology, however, had long realized that invertebrate animals were swarming in the seas long before vegetation gained a foothold on the land. This obvious point of conflict, however, failed to dissuade well-intentioned Christians, my earlier self included, from nudging the text to mean something different from what it says. In my case, I suggested that the days were overlapping days. Having publicly repented of that textual mutilation a few years ago, I will move on without further embarrassing myself.
Worse yet, the text states that on the fourth day God made the heavenly bodies after the earth was already in existence. Here is a blatant confrontation with science. Astronomy insists that the sun is older than the earth. How do Day-Agers worm out of this? The usual subterfuge involves the suggestion that the light originally visible on earth was sunlight that was obscured and diffused by the thick atmosphere that began to dissipate with the separation of the waters on the second day. Not until the fourth day, however, had the mists thinned to the point where the sun became visible from the earth. …
Genius as all these schemes may be, one is struck by the forced nature of them all. While the exegetical gymnastic manoeuvres have displayed remarkable flexibility, I suspect that they have resulted in temporary damage to the theological musculature.’

“… the greatest detractor from high performance is fear: fear that you are not prepared, fear that you are in over your head, fear that you are not worthy, and ultimately, fear of failure. If you can eliminate that fear—not through arrogance or just wishing difficulties away, but through hard work and preparation—you will put yourself in an incredibly powerful position to take on the challenges you face" - Pete Carroll.
