Brother Clarence, You are missing a most important factor.  The word  
"Evening" does not mean "night," nor does "morning" mean "day."
When it is one o'clock in the morning, is it light outside?  NO!  It  is dark 
as night.  when it is one o'clock p.m., is it dark out.  NO! it  is light.  
The word "Afternoon" is a recent term applied to the first  5 hours and 59 
minutes after the noon hour.  However, even when I was a  child, I recall 
that these hours were still referred to as evening.  It  is true that YaHVaH 
called the light "day," and the darkness, he called  night.  He did NOT 
called light "Morning," nor did he call darkness  "Evening," because, they 
have different definitions.  Evening is from  12:00.01 p.m., to 11:59.59 p.m. 
 Morning is from 12:00.01 a.m. to  11:59.59 a.m.  Noon is 12 o'clock high, 
while 12 o'clock low, is  Midnight.  On the other hand, Daytime is the light 
part of a 24 
hour day, and night time is the dark part of a 24 hour day.  If we read  it 
in proper context, the Hebrew is "perfectly" clear on this.
You are correct, YaHVaH is not the Author of confusion, yet people  become 
confused when they try to read with preconceived ideas and  persuasions.  It 
has been ingrained into our minds all of our lives  that the Sabbath is from 
sunset to sunset, instead of the "going Down  of the Sun, to the going down 
of the sun," that we can not accept  anything different.  No one likes being 
wrong, but it is a worse shame  to remain so.  Think on these things and 
don't be so quick to dismiss  them.

This diagram below shows when EVENing begins.  The Minor evening is at  3 
p.m., and is also called the "Twain of the evenings.  If 3 p.m. is  between 
the evenings (and this you agreed upon), then the time before 3 p.m. is also 
evening.  Right?  You can't deny this.
