This. I think the story of it was just to explain to people the story of create in very simple terms. The book is 2000+ years old, and when it was first written I'm sure many regular people would've found the theory of evolution (or something similar to it) difficult to understand.

I just think the usage of the word 'day' is a way of describing each stage of creation. It doesn't necessarily mean that it happened in a day's worth of time, but maybe on a much longer scale.

Idk.
