This is untrue (people reading this please refer to the beginning of the thread).
There is no 'legitimate' reason found with the bible aside from the mental gymnastics employed in apologetics to presume that the genesis myth is referring to anything other than a literal 6 days.
As to the other things. Our understanding of reality suggests that all of the things listed by godslayer are impossible. As there is no evidence to corroborate the claims found in the bible regarding these, then they can be dismissed.
The Presbyterian Church conducted a survey of the different interpretations. Four major and six minor. You can see them here: http://www.pcahistory.org/creation/report.html
Regarding the list, if God exists, these can easily happen. If God does not exist, they did not. You want me to show proof of the positive yet you don't have proof of the negative. Leaving the Bible out of it, it is still more plausible there is a God then not. There are 5-6 cogent arguments for the existence of God that do not rely on Genesis.
