Coogan finally states that the attempt to reconcile the creation with modern science by redefining “day” as a geological age, is a misguided adventure (Coogan 2006, 7). Haley’s Bible Handbook suggests that there are numerous different definitions of day. “In Genesis 1:5 it used as a term for light.” (Halley 2007, 85) In contrast he shows that in 1:8 and 1:13 it is a literal twenty-four hour day.
