Creation week? Right now I'm a fan of Russ Humphreys Starlight and time.
"Creation week"
11"For in six days the LORD made the heavens and the earth, the sea and all that is in them, and rested on the seventh day; therefore the LORD blessed the sabbath day and made it holy.
My appointed times are these:
3 'For six days work may be done, but on the seventh day there is a sabbath of complete rest, a holy convocation. You shall not do any work; it is a sabbath to the LORD in all your dwellings.
Exodus 34:21
"Six days you shall labor, but on the seventh day you shall rest; even during the plowing season and harvest you must rest.

When you see things like this, it doesn't mean each 24 day week is a
reenactment of the original creation week.When we have birthday parties
we are not re-enacting the birth process.Similarly, the work-week is not a
4 hour 7 day re-enactment of Creation week. It is an honoring of the
original event. Our 7 day honoring does not require that Creation week be
24 hour days. I find the best "wrapping my head around it" comes by the
element of time not being present at all during creation.
