OK, i'll be the devil's advocate again.
Time measured is relative to the observer. Where it may have taken God one day to create a given item in His reference frame it could have been everything from one day to millions of years in the reference frame as it is experienced on earth. Thus it is really irrelevant how long those periods, described in Genesis, were. We can not know either way. We have ample scientific evidence that the creation of and on earth was longer then our 24hrs. I realy have no clue why anyone would assume that time described by an everlasting entity could be understood in the first place, or to be taken at our limited standards.
Thus I quote Moses
Psalm 90:4
For a thousand years in your sight are like a day that has just gone by, or like a watch in the night.
Time dilation in simple terms
