== Day in the Bible ==
== Day in the Bible ==
According to the [[Bible|Biblical]] book of [[Genesis]] [[God]] created the heavens and the earth in six days, and rested on the [[Sabbath|seventh]].<ref>{{Bible ref|book=Genesis|chap=1}}, {{Bible ref|book=Genesis|chap=2|verses=1-24}}</ref> It should be noted that a day within the Bible is not always a 24 hour period. Sometimes, to God, a day is as a thousand years.<ref>{{Bible ref|book=Psalms|chap=90|verses=4}}, {{Bible ref|book=II_Peter|chap=3|verses=8}}</ref>

However, the [[Bible]] defines the word ''day'' ([[Hebrew]] ''yowm'') most clearly by the context of its use in {{Bible ref|book=Genesis|chap=1}}. In [[Genesis]] 1, the word ''day'' appears six times, preceded by the phrase "evening and morning," clearly indicating a solar day.
