To your first question , "no."
To your second question, either you did not read my post or you have decided to insult my presentation?

John, I have a couple questions for you.
1. Have you ever read John Whitcomb's theological treatment concerning the
length of the day in Genesis 1? I have read his perspective and even
discussed this personally with him before, but he comes from a theology
background and I come from a science background, so I don't know how well he
is accepted as a "theologian." His arguments for why the day is not
figurative made a lot of sense to me.
2. Is there any THEOLOGICAL or TEXTUAL reason for you treating the day
figuratively? In other words, I don't have a problem with someone saying
that perhaps we should take the meaning figuratively, but I wonder if there
is any reason other than reconciliing with the assertions of science that a
theologian or Bible scholar would interpret the word day in Genesis 1 as
figurative. If we only had the Bible and the Holy Spirit guiding us, what
would be the reasons to view the day figuratively in Genesis 1?
