Is the Seventh Day 24-Hours Long?
| Answers in Genesis
There are many objections to the days in Genesis 1 being 24 hours. Many old-earth creationists believe their “silver bullet” argument concerns the seventh day. Does the fact that day seven lacks “evening and morning” mean it is not an ordinary, 24-hour day, and can we give an adequate account for its absence?
