In the scripture you posted, there is a period marking the end of a sentence. "morning" and "evening" don't necessarily describe a 24 hour period they simply mark the start and end of a day.
It's like you think the writer of Genesis caught amnesia somewhere between the 2nd and 5th chapters of Genesis where It's CLEARLY states:
But of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, thou shalt not eat of it: for in the day that thou eatest thereof thou shalt surely die. - Genesis 2:17
And all the days that Adam lived were nine hundred and thirty years: and he died. - Genesis 5:5
The above proves that the Bible is measuring 1000 years as one day as it relates to God. God said Adam would die the day he partook of the tree, and he died at age 930... which falls within the 1000 year day.
So Genesis lied when it used the term "days", as Adam only lived one day?
What part of "God counts time differently than man" do you not understand?

You don't realize time is relative?
Relative to who?

Well time must had been more then relative, I mean really fucked up, in this case considering that god created light, Earth, vegetation and then three days later the Sun and then after the Sun he created stars. Almost as if this was written by somebody who didn't know what stars are and what the fuck he's talking about.
Also with this kind of loose logic you can make true any creation myth. Like let's take Chinese myth that tells us that everything started in chaos. The universe was like a black egg. A god named Pan Gu, wielding an axe, breaks the egg and the heavens begin to expand. The fleas and lice on Pan Gu's body turn into humankind.
You could argue that black egg is the black hole (they both have 'black' in it) or parent universe considering that some models show that this universe started from quantum tunneling and quantum fluctuations from another universe. And god breaking it with an axe could mean that he broke parent universe into our half. And fleas represent evolution from primitive microbes to us.
teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"

Among a billion other things.
At the age of five, Skagra decided emphatically that God did not exist. This revelation tends to make most people in the universe who have it react in one of two ways - with relief or with despair. Only Skagra responded to it by thinking, 'Wait a second. That means there's a situation vacant.'
