I used to be a young-earth creationist but then became an agnostic.

What do Christians think about the days in Genesis 1:

Old Earth Creation Science Belief Systems
This talks about:
Theistic Evolution (Allegorical)
Theistic Evolution (Literal)
Progressive Creationism (Literal)
Gap Theory (Literal)
OEM Joint Theory (Literal)

There is also young-earth creationism where there were 6 literal days and there is the Framework interpretation:
Framework interpretation (Genesis) - Wikipedia

I currently prefer the framework interpretation because it makes a lot of sense. The first three days match up perfectly with the second three days.

BTW this "tract" counters YEC arguments about the days being literal:
The Dark Side of Young Earth Creationism

I was never a young-earth creationist, but I have generally tended toward views that are generally more compatible with my being a Theistic Evolutionist. ;)
