Isn't that determined by the duration it takes the earth to go around the sun?
How do you look into the past to see how long that "used to be"?

Scripture
What does scripture say about how long a year "used to be"? Chapter and verse?

I'm guessing that he will refer to the "day is as a thousand years and a thousand years is as a day" scrip.
Scripture does not give us any better of a roadmap than science does....it just provides us a better driver (oops...I mean envelope )

That's what I'm expecting too. It doesn't work though. It doesn't give any method for calculating the difference.

No. The 360 day year is found in both Rev and in Gen.

The same red is seen the same way. There is no "red" in the ochre or the light bulb. The red is the wavelength of the light - i.e. it is a property of the light.
Are you telling me that red stuff that I got on my hands today when I put ink in my printer was just wavelengths of light?
I used gasoline and lacquer thinner trying to get those light wavelengths off and I still have red stains on my hands.
How do I get them off?
God Bless,

For your information Phat.
2 Peter 3:8 is talking about what time means to God not mankind. Read the scripture.

There is no T bar in the story.
Well it is your story but I would have my T bar in my truck. Therefore I would not have a problem using it to get the correct measurement.
ringo writes:
If you set it on "end" to sit on it, the "height" is what used to be the "length".
A cube would be interchangeable by changing its position but try that with your kitchen cabinets and you will have a funny looking set of cabinets.
ringo writes:
A cabinet does have depth. It's like a hole in the wall. Hollow objects have depth - the depth of the hollow.
Actually most cabinets protrude from the wall 12". A medicine cabinet can be mounted on the surface of the wall or recessed in the wall.
ringo writes:
The "depth" of the Empire State Building would be the depth of its basement(s) or the depth of its foundations,
In building if the bottom of the foundation is 75 feet below the surface of the sitem that 75' is included in the height of the building.
The depth of the building would be the distance from the front door to the opposite wall.
We have wandered a long way from creation.

I asked for Bible chapter and verse, not websites. Did you even read those websites? You could have gotten chapter and verse from them.
So, chapter and verse?

I'm telling you that the "red" was red wavelengths of light reflected from the "stuff". If you wash off the "stuff" there will be nothing to reflect red wavelengths.

You're getting ahead of yourself. I'm asking how we can look into the past. Until we find a means of transportation, there's no point in asking how long the trip will take.
