For one of my college classes, I need to interview various people regarding their beliefs for creationism or evolution. I would very much appreciate whatever answer you can give me!
These are the questions:
1) How long were the days of Genesis 1 and why do you think so?
I have no idea. Are you asking for a biblical scholar's answer - because I don't know much at all about the bible. But I believe Genesis is a poetic story, not a historical one.

I don't know but I've heard estimates of around 5 billion years from people who study it. I assume they have as good a reason for that estimate as anyone is likely to have.

Clearly yes. Look at the morphology and the DNA. There can be no doubt.

I'm pretty sure Genesis is a poetic, creation story. So no.
