Days with mornings and evenings

I believe the Jewish day starts at sunset and not at sunrise and it always has been that way. I think that creates problems for those who insist that creation started at 9am on Monday Morning Oct 23rd 4004 bc!

The sabbith runs from sunset to sunset does it not. So perhaps you you are right that the day actually run sunset to sunset.

Also in hewbrew do we actually know if there are more meanings for the english translations of mornings and evenings?

I noticed something in the Hebrew and that is that the word "day" only appears twice during the creation "week" and that "evening" and "morning" never appear together but separately. Thats in the original Hebrew. I find that interesting and I wonder how we can put a 24 hour period on a day if there is no such word?

Here is an interesting theory.

There are a few problems with it (such as the age of the earth), plus the writer is not a Christian but a Kabbalists. However, it does make one think about the days of Creation. Perhaps this theory, with a little tweaking, who knows?

I think not being a Christian maybe mr. Shroeder might be able to be more objective.
