		Day-Age Creationism holds that the six days referred to are not ordinary 24-hour days, but rather much longer periods (of thousands or millions of years); the Genesis account is then interpreted as an account of the process of evolution.
		Day-Age Creationism holds that the "six days" of Genesis are not ordinary 24-hour days, but rather much longer periods (for instance, each "day" could be the equivalent of a million years of modern time).
		Young Earth Creationism is typically based on Jewish and Christian religious fundamentalism and holds that scientific findings simply conflict with the account of creation given in Genesis, where it is recorded that the Earth was created by God in six days.

	Facts about topic: (Day-Age Creationism)
		Day-age creationism suggests that the very brief account of creation in Genesis was not intended as informative, but rather as a succinct summary of ancient knowledge in the Levant (The former name for the geographical area of the eastern Mediterranean that is now occupied by Lebanon and Syria and Israel).
		That said, Day-Age Creationism does include a number of specific and interesting theories and speculation regarding divine creation of the universe which is ultimately unknown to man. These ideas revolve around the use of the word "day" in contexts before the existence of the sun, moon, and earthly time in the book of Genesis.
		The word "day" that's used here in reference to the period of all the creative days together is the same Hebrew word (yôm) used for each of the six creative days in chapter one.

	Old Earth creationism - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		More commonly, advocates of an old Earth hold that the six days referred to are not ordinary 24-hour days, but rather the Hebrew word for "day" (yom) can be interpreted in this context to mean a long period of time (thousands or millions of years) rather than a 24-hour day.
		Old Earth creationism is a variant of the creationist view of the origin of the universe and life on Earth.
		Progressive Creationism is the idea that God allows certain natural process to affect creation but has also intervened at key moments in life’s history to guide those processes or, in some views, create new species all together (often to replenish the earth).

	What is Creationism?
		Day-Age Creationism was more popular than Gap Creationism in the 19th and and early 20th centuries.
		Part 1 of this article examines varieties of Christian Creationism, because Christianity in its various forms is by far the most prevalent religion in the United States.
		(Creationism in any form is a relatively minor force in other parts of the world.) Since creationism grades gradually into evolution, part 1 also considers evolutionary beliefs.

	NCSE Resource
		There is not one creationism, but many varieties, ranging from strict Biblical literalist young-earth creationism, through a variety of old-earth creationisms ("Gap Creation;" "Day-Age Creationism"), to progressive creationism, to continuous creationism, to theistic evolutionism.
		Among them, "Gap creationism" allows for there to have been a long period of time before the six days of creation described in Genesis (Numbers, 1992), or alternately for the six days in Genesis to be separated by thousands or hundreds of thousands of years of time.
		Creationism differs in some important ways: supporters are science fans, not detractors, and they believe science is useful, important, and something that students should be exposed to.

	Age of the Earth & Universe - ChristianAnswers.Net
		Most Christians have heard the argument that the word "day" in Genesis does not mean a literal 24 hour type day, but rather that the "days" represent 6 great ages of time.
		The "days" in Genesis 1 are always specifically used in connection with the words "evening and morning." This phrase is used with "day" 38 times in the Old Testament, not counting Genesis chapter 1.
		When the word "day" is used with a number, such as day one, day two, etc., it always refers to a literal, 24 hour type day.

	Creationism and teaching evolution
		U.S. District Court determined that "creation science" (or "creationism") is a religious belief that, within the context of purportedly providing "balance" in science instruction where the theory of evolution is taught, serves no secular purpose except to advance a peculiar religious belief.
		Creationism is a legitimate topic for religion, history, literature or philosophy class -- not science.
		"Creationism" refers to a wide range of beliefs and all cultures have some sort of supernatural explanation for the diversity of life on earth.

	Howstuffworks "How Creationism Works"
		Day-age creationists view each "day" of creation as a period of millions or billions of years, accounting for the scientifically determined age of the Earth within the framework of the Bible.
		Theistic evolutionism is also called "evolutionary creationism," but since it does not involve a literal reading of the Bible, and because many theistic evolutionists fall on the side of evolution in the creationism vs. evolution debate, many people view it as separate from creationism.
		Some tenets of creationism are not at all compatible with the findings of modern science, while others allow for a reinterpretation of the Bible in view of what some perceive as scientific proof.

	Welcome to Creationism’s Young-Age Universe
		Creationism’s young-age universe, given by the Bible account, is the fact.
		It is the age of disbelief and the culture of death.
		The geological theory of age and the theory of relativity coincide with Hinduism’s reincarnation cycles of death and rebirth, and the astronomical ages of the Hindu myths of creation.

	Christian Views of Science and Earth History
		The second position, progressive creationism or day-age creationism, holds that the earth and the universe are billions of years old.
		The issue of the age of the earth is very controversial among evangelicals, particularly those who have chosen some field of science as their career.
		For instance if the days of Genesis are millions of years long, then when flowers were created on day three, it would be millions of years before pollinators, such as bees, were created on days five and six.

	Theistic Evolution and the Day-Age Theory
		The Hebrew word for day is yom, and, we are reminded, it is used in a variety of ways: (1) the daylight period in the diurnal cycle as in Genesis 1:5, 14, 16, 18; (2) a normal 24-hour period; and (3) an indefinite time period as in Psalm 90:10.
		It is sometimes claimed that the church fathers believed in long ages for the days in Genesis 1.
		In that case, day one is the first thousand years of earth's history, day two the second thousand years, etc. Consistency would logically dictate that each of the six periods be the same length, resulting in a 6000-year period of creation from nothing to Adam.

	CH050 - CreationWiki
		"Gap creationism", day-age creationism, and other attempted "reconciliations" were attempts to reconcile the Bible with the new uniformitarian paradigm, not with the evidence itself.
		Young-earth creationism failed early on, so scientists tried gap creationism, day-age creationism, and other attempted reconciliations.
		Young-earth creationism didn't fail, it was replaced by the assumption of uniformitarianism.

	Is Compromise Possible Between Evolution and Creation?
		The booklet accepts the geological ages and much of evolution, but argues that the process was designed by God, advocating progressive creationism and/or theistic evolutionism as a compromise approach that should satisfy both creationists and evolutionists.
		The Basic conflict of the ages is between the two world views of evolutionism versus creationism.
		By "literalism," Young means taking the six days of creation as literal days and the flood as worldwide in geological effects, the position advocated by most scientific creationists.

	Fred's Bible Talk - Refuting Compromise
		In addition, Dr. Ross is careless with his use of these individuals, because they did not fully support a belief in long ages as he articulates “long ages.” Augustine, for instance, believed the 6 days of creation were instantaneous with all of the days happening in a moment.

		With trained scientists and theologians behind him, Dr. Ross and his apologetics for progressive creationism appears to be a sheer, impenetrable wall of defense.

	Apologetics Press - Popular Compromises of Creation—The Day-Age Theory
		The days of creation should be accepted as literal, 24-hour periods because whenever the Hebrew word yom occurs in the plural (yamim) in Old Testament non-prophetical literature (viz., the same kind of literature found in Genesis 1), it always carries the meaning of a normal day.

	Gerald Schroeder - Articles - The Age of the Universe
		In the Midrash (Vayikra Rabba 29:1), an expansion of the Talmud, all the Sages agree that Rosh Hashana commemorates the soul of Adam, and that the Six Days of Genesis are separate.
		So when the Sages excluded these six days from the calendar, and said that the entire text is parable, it wasn't because they were trying to apologize away what they'd seen in the local museum.
		The ancient commentaries found in the Talmud, Rashi, and the Kaballah all insist that the six days of Genesis, that is, the time prior to Adam, are in fact 24 hour days, BUT contain all the ages of the world.

	Podiatry Arena - Evolution
		Day-age creationists interpret each day of creation as a long period of time, even thousands or millions of years.
		If we believe in evolutionary progress (as opposed to creationism), then by 1.6 million years ago the limbs of successful hominids would already be pretty good in terms of ambulation and grasping/and throwing objects.
		In an era of being on your feet for most of the day, and lugging possessions and dependants, a long run would be the last thing you would do IMO.

	North Carolina Scientists Speak Out on Evolution
		Day-age Creationism and Gap Theory Creationism, both of which can be viewed as "Old-earth Creationism," attempt to reconcile the Biblical account of creation with scientific evidence for the great age of the universe and the earth.
		Day-Age Creationism holds that the six days of creation as described in Genesis were considerably longer than 24 hours.
		Young-earth Flood Creationism holds that the earth was created less than 10,000 years ago, that life forms were created during creation week as described in Genesis, that the flood eliminated life forms that were not taken aboard Noah’s ark, and that all terrestrial life forms today are progeny of passengers on the ark.

	Ekklesia discussion: The Day-Age Interpretation of Genesis
		I’m afraid that since current day in vogue evolutionary science tells us that the earth is 4.6 billion years old, we Christians don’t want to be thought fools to go against this “established scientific fact” so we try and see if we can fit this piece of scientific “truth” into the Bible.
		And sure enough, since day can be translated as a long period of time, we immediately jump to the conclusion that Moses must be referring to long periods of time here.
		The appearance of "day" and "night", therefore can be said to have happened after the creation of the sun.
