Actually, David, I want the wiki to let the Bible speak for itself. However, I have included an interpretation of how things might have happened according to the perceived laws of physics. I take the Word of God, and then seek to find scientific explanations, rather than the other way around. In Genesis 1, the day is further defined as containing an evening and a morning. Both the evening and the morning are periods of mixed light and darkness, encasing a period of darkness upon the earth. The "day" is both the full cycle and the fully-lighted portion, so yes, the "span of time" is well defined in context.

There is no need to "give science the benefit of the doubt." For one thing, "science" as you see it seems to be the interpretations of "scientists." You chose paleontologists as the scientists that we have to give this "benefit of the doubt." These are men and women that study "old things" to gather an understanding of what has happened without the benefit of eye witness accounts. Their doubt stems from a lack of trust in the written record. I am not willing to give them this "benefit." This wiki is to present the information found in the Bible. If my section on the six days (which I do not define, by the way) misrepresents those facts, let me know.
