Either way it doesn't make sense, so it really doesn't matter. But at least if you translated "Days" as "steps," there would be less time between the creation of the sun and the creation of plants. I mean really, the entire cosmology is out of order from what science knows, lots of things are created before other things that need the latter... or something like that. But that's a topic for another thread, I think.
Perhaps steps would explain that. But how would steps as opposed to millions of years explain light before stars? It is foolish trying to compromise literalism with science. Either throw it away as a metaphor or stick to your guns!
Most Christians choose the former, the YEC's choose the latter, and I havn't yet decided where I stand.....


It is just.
