the fact no one like Paul wrote anything about it is proof it didn't happen. I don't believe you ever claimed have a full understanding of the scientific method.

There are Sabbath keepers who start the Sabbath at 6 PM on Fridays until 6 PM on Saturdays. Others who keep it from midnight to midnight. And they are fully without scriptural support!

When Jesus began His work of creation it was dark. The first day of creation began when it was dark. "And the evening and the morning were the first day." Gen 1:5. The same is true of each day of creation week.
"And the evening and the morning were the second day." Verse 8.
"And the evening and the morning were the third day." Verse 13.
"And the evening and the morning were the fourth day." Verse 19.
"And the evening and the morning were the fifth day." Verse 23.
"And the evening and the morning were the sixth day." Verse 31.
In each case the word "day" includes the dark and light parts of the 24 hour period. However, the account of the seventh day is different:
"And on the seventh day God ended his work which he had made; and he rested on the seventh day from all his work which he had made. And God blessed the seventh day, and sanctified it: because that in it he had rested from all his work which God created and made." Gen 2:2-3.
It doesn't conclude with "and the evening and the morning were the seventh day." Are we supposed to deduce Jesus only blessed the light part of the seventh day?

Johann, I'm sure you are well versed in the one major support for how we are to keep Sabbath (hours) in the Bible. Look at that verse in the NIV and then you can tell me why it's flawed.  Blessings, Green Cochoa. I see no flaw. Where do you see it? Are you using different texts than the Seventh-day Adventist Church is using?
"Here is a last piece of advice. If you believe in goodness and if you value the approval of God, fix your minds on the things which are holy and right and pure and beautiful and good. Model your conduct on what you have learned from me, on what I have told you and shown you, and you will find the God of peace will be with you."
