Another simple explanation could also be that 1 day isn’t literal. That would be very easy to believe. But why did God put so much emphasis on the sabbath, to keep it holy as God is holy and the literal sabbath God wanted to be 1 human day, and God said in Genesis that he rested, one literal human day. Why would he put so much emphasis on this one human day only for it not to be a literal telling of the beginnings and using 1 human day at a time? If I wanted to call something deceptive, I would maybe consider that to be deceptive.

You missed the whole long discussion of this very thing last week.
In case you want to check it out, because people probably won’t want to repeat themselves so soon…
