Bible clear on days of creation

To the editor:

In response to Janice Watrous' rebuttal -- "Evolution: What's the fuss about?" -- to a David Limbaugh column: Yes, to God a thousand years is as a day and vice versa. However, if Watrous will take the time to read the account of creation in Genesis 1, after each day of creation it states, "And the evening and the morning were the first day ... second day" through to the sixth day. An evening and a morning clearly indicate a 24-hour day.

As to God setting things into motion and then letting them evolve: He clearly could see this one coming from the evolutionists. God is in effect refuting evolution when he states in Genesis 1:25, "And God made the beast of the earth after his kind and cattle after their kind and everything that creepeth upon the earth after his kind." After each act of creation, the "after his kind" mode of creation is repeated 10 times in all.
