But, the seventh day is not over. Read:



We can ascertain from this passage that God is still at rest from His creative works; the seventh "day" is still ongoing. Therefore, if the seventh "day" has been ongoing for at least 6000 years (according to YEC timelines), it is not a 24-hour day.

Huh? Now you're throwing in Greek text into the origins of yom?
