CH> De   16:6 But at the place which the LORD thy God shall choose
  > to place his name in, there thou shalt sacrifice the passover
  > at evening, at the setting of the sun, at the time of thy
  > departure from Egypt.
Again, this to mean the twain of the evenings, or 3 pm.
CH> At the setting of the sun cannot possibly be made any plainer!
This is to translated, "as the sun begins to set, or go down," or "the 
going down of the sun."  When the sun reaches its highest apex (noon), 
it immediately starts its trek "down."  Therefore, the going "down" of 
the sun begins at 12:01 pm.  Clarence.  I want to to consider an event 
in the time of Nehemiah.  I will post the scripture.
    "And it came to pass, that when the gates of Jerusalem began to be 
     dark before the sabbath, I commanded that the gates should be 
     shut, and charged that they should not be opened till after the 
     sabbath: and some of my servants set I at the gates, that there
     should no burden be brought in on the sabbath day."  (Neh. 13:19.)
Nehemiah was angered by the presence of merchants who were allowed to 
enter the city on the sabbath to sell their wares.  He warned the men 
of Judah that they are profaning the sabbath by this evil.  Therefore, 
he commanded that the gates to the city be locked at a certain time.  
This time was determined by the "shadow" as it would appear on the 
gates.  This would specifically be the eastern gate as the sun 
ascended out of the east, moving to its Apex and descent toward the 
west.  If a gate facing east reflects the sun as it rises from the 
east, a shadow would be cast upon it as the sun passes its apex by the 
slightest degree.  Therefore, after 12:01 p.m. (just past noon) would 
certainly have brought this shadow.  It was at this time that Nehemiah 
commanded that the gates be locked and not opened again until after the 
sabbath.
CH> Mr   15:25 And it was the third hour, and they crucified him.
Yes, He was nailed to the cross at 9 a.m.  This was the same time that 
the lamb was tethered to the alter within the temple.
CH> And here we see that the third hour was between 6am to 9am
  > which coincides with all other Scriptures!
It was precisely at 9 a.m.  To say that it was between 6-9 a.m. would 
allow 3 hours of play.  The third hour was the third hour, and not a 
time span.  Right?  Right.
CH> Mr   15:33 And when the sixth hour was come, there was darkness
  > over the whole land until the ninth hour.
The sixth hour was noon.  This was the sixth hour of "daylight," and 
not the sixth hour of the literal "day," which begins at noon itself.  
This is not unusual, for the day is divided into four parts, Evening 
and Morning, and Day and Night.  12:00 (daytime) is noon. 12:01 p.m. to 
11:59.59 p.m. is the evening.  12:00 (at night) is midnight. 12:01 a.m. 
to 11:59.59 is morning.  Day, in this context, is the "light" part or 
daytime hours.  Night, is the "dark" or night time hours.  Since the 
mean time for daylight, is 6 a.m., and 6 a.m. is 0-hour, the 3rd hour 
would be 9 a.m., the 6th hour would be 12:00 noon, while the 9th hour 
would be 3 p.m., etc.  Yahshua gave up the Ghost at 3 p.m.
CH> And we see here that the sixth hour is clearly 9am to 12 noon
  > or midday!  And the darkness lasted until the ninth hour, which
  > could have been anywhere from midday to 3pm!  Now it is plain
  > to see that had it been night, it would, of necessity, had to

Please again, consider that the sixth hour is a literal hour and not a 
time span.  The sixth hour is 12 noon.  From 12 noon until 3 p.m. there 
was darkness, probably due to an eclipse.  This was not night, but more 
a midnight in the middle of the day , an eclipse.  On this we agree.
CH> Now, since most scholars say that He died at 3pm, rather than

Absolutely.  However, the assumption at that time, that the day began 
at "sunset" as apposed to the actual "going DOWN of the sun," was a 
recent institution.  It was incorporated into the Talmud, by those 
who combined Mosaic Law with Chaldean mysteries.  This time was changed 
by the sanhedrin for political and economic reasons, a lesson learned 
well by their Babylonish experience.  The scripture told the truth 
about what the Judeans thought in those days was the actual start of 
the sabbath, but scripture nowhere condones, nor verifies the accuracy 
of of that time.
CH> Ge   1:5 And God called the light Day, and the darkness he
  > called Night. And the evening and the morning were the first
  > day. {And the evening...: Heb. And the evening was, and the
  > morning was}
Here is your answer.  He did not call the evening and the morning the 
light and dark part of the day.  YaHVaH called the "light" day, and 
the "Darkness" night.  The completed day He called "evening and 
morning," (12 noon to 12 noon).
