According to Dr. Tommy Mitchell from Answers in Genesis, the meaning of the Hebrew word “yom” or “day” is most hotly debated when it comes to its use in Genesis 1 during the Bible’s account of creation. Mitchell is a full-time speaker for Answers in Genesis, the nation’s leading Christian ministry advocating the biblical account of creation, and presented a two-day conference March 23 and 24 hosted by Midway Baptist Church.
