1. Maybe (but not really).
2. Who's doing the forcing of reading here?

There seems to be eisogesis for OECer. I mean, seriously, who's gonna read Genesis 1-3 and gather the Day Age theory exegetically and according to the Analogy of Scripture minus thoughts purported from elsewhere externally?
Joshua, I understand your concern and admire your tenacity in defense. I am not a day ager. Just someone who says it is difficult to pigeon hole the days to 24 hours. I have no problem with an instantaneous creation. That would be my opinion at this time. It takes a way the difficulties of harmonization and allows for the brilliant structure of the literature to say what it says. Yahweh creates all from nothing and rests.
