There is  no reasonable open interpretation for this. This is describing the day ending having turned into evening, and the morning being the next day. These creation claims between each reference to the day ending and the next day beginning are litteral descriptions of 24hour earthly periods, this creation having being the earth.

This is amusing. You are actually arguing for a literal interpretation so you can dismiss it as scientifically inaccurate. So basically:

1. A literal reading of Gen 1-3 is correct
2. It can't be literal
3. Therefore the other 1200 chapters in the Bible are wrong.

Setting aside that the conclusion (more fully outlined in your OP) does not follow at all from the premises, tell me, who wrote the first three chapters of Genesis and when did they write it? If you are so sure (which you seem to be) of (1) you would of course know this.

Whenever I hear somebody tell me to not take something litterally from the bible, what message I get from such comment is that I shouldnt take the bible seriously period, and the only reason people even believe in this version of god is because people claim to have visions of this god, and claim these are the things that this spiritual entity tells them is true. If nothing they say is to be taken litterally, then Im to assume I shouldnt take thier vision claims seriously as well, and that leaves us with no literal god of abraham. come on now.

I believe theres a reason why these men of this god say they had visions, and not physical appearences from these entities, and thats because they dont know how to describe an experience that is not of the norm, and since I am familiar with what it is like to hallucenate, I can easily see why they would say "visions" rather than a common experience. Its just funny how so few people throughout history claim visions of entities of different religious spiritual characters, and most of the rest of us do not. Its common for any living creature including humans to have the mental health condition/disorder known as skitsophrania. I have 2 friends with this disorder and they off and on tell me of thier visions and ne of them never acknowledges that these visions are imaginary. 

In a time where this condition was unknown of, I can see how a multitude of people would people a single indivudual when superstition is common in the culture, and the rest would believe the indiviidual especially if he already has respect as a religious leader, and well after the individual's death his story gets passed down generation after generation and eventually written down in a story book or scripture as tho he really had these experiences. 

Theres good reason why with each religion who depends on people's visions, why only rare individuals have this gift and are the only ones who thier god's tend to have ever shown his face to, and thats because they suffered from these hallucenatins, whereelse the rest of us dont. These gods that anybody throughout history claim to have ever seen were in retrospect imaginary, and this is why no particular version of god has ever shown his face to everyone around the world to declare his existance and tell us what to believe and how t live and whats to look forward to after death. Its never been recorded in history to have ever  happened, and the reason is there is no god in existance that ever cared for whats going on on earth, and imo theres no god out there anyways. Its a natural world that depends on cause and effect for anything to happen and never reuired the assistance of any supernatural all powerful entity to make anything happen.
