Certain groups insists that the Genesis word ‘day’ must be translated as a sunset to sunset meaning. They will also point out that the genealogies added up fit their dating schemes. So to harmonize their incorrect day translation and interpretation schema into science, they are forced to machinate against the established dating methods. Christian also know that God has ‘fixed’ the laws of the Universe meaning they don’t change over time. The proponents of this view are not as wrong as the atheists, but they are still wrong.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yom - the correct Genesis ‘day’ means “A long, but finite span of time”.
Currently we are in day 7 (God ‘rested’ [ceased from creation after man]). An aside, many biblical reference have ‘day’ not as 24 hours, such as in: “the day of the Lord”.
You'll have problem with the order of how god created things vs how things were actually came to be.
Bible creation:
1) Heaven & Earth
2) Light
3) Earth's atmosphere
4) Land & vegetation
5) Stars & Moon
6) Fish & Birds
7) Land animals
8) Man
Reality:
1) Plasma
2) Gas
3) Stars & Sun
4) Earth
5) Moon
6) Oceans
7) Fish
8) land animals
9) birds
10) Man
No matter how long or short you make the days, the order is wrong.
