What is unclear to me is the length of time of each "day" of creation. 24 hour days? Very possible. Undetermined, but distinct period of time? Also very possible. Nonetheless, Genesis 1 details what actually happened in the beginning. | Mason,
Just keep in mind that there is no one in Church history that disagrees with the YEC time frame of 6-10k years for the age of the universe.
