Correct! The days recorded in Genesis are regular days with an evening and
a morning. We have divided the day into 24 hours which represents the
time of a complete rotation of the Earth to include both an evening and a
morning. This means the creation was completed in 144 hours. No need
for a debate over the meaning of root words. Case closed. 😏

I would also be an OEC because there are too many things that militate against a young earth. Light/travel time / geology ect........ unless God is trying to fool mankind which I don't believe that.

• It is well known that the interior of the Earth is very hot. For each mile you descend, the temperature increases by 118 degrees Fahrenheit. The Earth is a thousand miles in diameter; the core is so hot that the rocks are molten. Yet as Earth passes through the extreme cold of outer space, it's losing its heat. Even with the heat it receives from the sun, Earth's net heat loss is 1027 calories per second. This means that if it started at 190 degrees Fahrenheit on the surface, Earth would have been frozen stone cold to the center in the first 40 million years. If it were four billion years old, it should have been a huge sphere of ice over 100 times by now
"The Earth is a thousand miles in diameter' Right there in your so-called evidence.
"The Earth is losing 1027 calories per second". So this thousand mile diameter planet is losing one thousand calories per second. I don't see anything in there saying exactly how many calories of heat are present inside the Earth.
You should know better than to try to present such clap trap as real evidence.
