Does Genesis Contradict Science (DIR)

"Every time the word yôm is used with a number, or with the phrase ‘evening and morning’, anywhere in the Old Testament, it always means an ordinary day. In Genesis chapter 1, for each of the six days of creation, the Hebrew word yôm is used with a number and the phrase, ‘evening and morning’. There is no doubt that the writer is being emphatic that these are ordinary days."

Then show me one of the other times in the OT, please.

I say it doesn’t mean a literal day, for God told Adam, “in the day you eat from it (the tree), you will die.” He didn’t die in 24 hours... rather, over 900 years later.
