““This matter of how best to interpret the term "day" in Genesis 1 is not one over which evangelical believers should quarrel; the point is, and all evangelical Christians accept this, that Genesis does teach that God is the creator of all which exists, that He effected this creation in six "days," and that He is a personal God embracing His entire creation in His providential care.””
