Agreed, very good post! Also, there's a curve ball. If the speed of light is not a constant (and according to the latest research, it might actually be slowing down), then the whole time/space thingy at the time of the Creation was so different, we simply can't apply the notion of measuring it with days or years. God speaks to all generations in the language corresponding to their world view and is not in the least concerned with teaching us science. Thank you for the post.

Now that is very important to keep in mind...
Dr. Michael Heiser gives an excellent treatise on the Flat Earth theory, for example. The issue is of the same nature as brought up in your post. Starts around 1:33 Blessings.
How do we know its slowing down? We've stopped measuring the speed of light.
In fact! How do you measure the speed of light? There aren't any scientific measurements for measuring the speed of light any more.
I do not hold kin with the theory of relativity. I agree with Tesla that its speed of gravity, not the speed of light.
And, the speed of light seems to be different in different mediums. And our universe does not seem to all filled with vacuum...
anyway, I would love to here where you heard of light slowing down hypothesis.
And God speaks to me all the time about physics / metaphysics.
Thanks for your reply! I myself am not committed to the theory, but here's an interesting covering of it by Dr. C. Missler:
Used to love this guy. But I had to choose between him and Moses. 8 “Remember the Sabbath day by keeping it holy. 9 Six days you shall labor and do all your work, 10 but the seventh day is a sabbath to the LORD your God. On it you shall not do any work, neither you, nor your son or daughter, nor your male or female servant, nor your animals, nor any foreigner residing in your towns. 11 For in six days the LORD made the heavens and the earth, the sea, and all that is in them, but he rested on the seventh day. Therefore the LORD blessed the Sabbath day and made it holy. I went for Moses.
16 Let no man therefore judge you in meat, or in drink, or in respect of an holyday, or of the new moon, or of the sabbath days:
17 Which are a shadow of things to come; but the body is of Christ. (Col. 2:16-17 KJV)
I do not disagree with that . Just that Exodus 20 says "seventh day is a sabbath to the LORD your God". The sabbath was 24 hours so from that it would be logical to conclude that the first 6 days were normal 24 hours.
Oh I get it, pardon my being dense! I'm comfortable with the literal interpretation myself, just thought to mention this other theory. We all see through a glass darkly... :)
Chuck missler is one of my favorites.
Yes, mine too!
Excellent.
