The Earth didn't spin THAT much faster. If you are using a 7 day cycle for weeks...that doesn't leave much room for changing what a literal week means.
The earth didn't have to spin THAT much faster. There are many possibilities that could explain a literal week. The fact of Darwin's Theory of relativity for one. A day literally could have been billions of years (in earth time).

Exactly, the period of Creation is not considered in the Calendar. Earth time begins with Adam. The Young earth theory comes from the fact that people have counted the years from that point and assume that earth is only that old but they don't take into account the time period of the Creation sequence which in my opinion contains billions of years.

Once Adam was present the time became "earth time". The first six days of creation were not the same as it is now. Time itself was not existant until matter was formed.

I will try to get back here and discuss some of the things you say conflict but I have to go now and don't have the time.
