I still am baffled by how people can interpret "God created the world in seven days" as "God created the world in 7 24 hour periods" instead of "God created the world in 7 eras".
Because day can mean either. When an old man goes "Back in my day" he did not have a 24 hour period with his generations name on it. He's talking about his generations 'time', or era.
Using that interpretation allows for a more accurate Genesis, particularly when you not that the "Sun and Moon" were created a few 'day's in... can't have a 24 hour period without a sun.
