So it took God 6 years to create the earth?
The 2300 evenings and mornings are not prophetic "days," they are specified as the same amount of time as the days of creation. You would be right if is was just 2300 days with no specifics. Some translations makes it easier and leave out evenings and mornings and just write days, but that is not literal. Most translations do not take that liberty. It is too bad that some did, because now we have people turning what was meant to be literal, to prophetic "years." And some take the liberty of combining separate prophecies.
