But this introduces a problem for the YEC's: In Gen 2:17 God says
"...but from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil you shall not eat, for in the day that you eat from it you will surely die."
The YEC's are the folks who say that "day" means 24 hours. But Adam lived 930 years. So either "die" refers to spiritual death, or "day" extends until the end of Adam's life -- up to 930 years.
