If "day" is understood as a unit of time rather than as the specific rotation of the earth, there is no problem with that. The story is being told in retrospect, not before the events, and so a unit of time designated later on can be used. Just like someone can tell you that Caesar travelled x number of kilometers for some purpose, even though "kilometers" was not a measurement at the time that Caesar travelled.

The "heavens" are the rest of the universe not specifically mentioned in the other bits. Thus, the stars other than the sun, the other planets, etc.

'And on the 85635366th day, god created the crab nebula'.......
That is all part of the "heavens."
