A day is the amount of time it takes for the earth turn once around its axis: 24 hours. It can also be defined as 86,400 SI seconds.[1] According to the Biblical book of Genesis God created the heavens and the earth in six days, and rested on the seventh.[2] 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 thousands years. [3]
