It’s one of God’s days. And I hear he wakes up every morning at 100,000,000,000,000 O’Clock.

“But do not ignore this one fact, beloved, that with the Lord one day is like a thousand years and a thousand years like one day.” - 2 Peter 3:8

Exactly. It’s amazing how many people can’t grasp that a “day” for God might be very different than what we think of as a “day.”

Indeed. Anyone who ascribes a 24 hour period to a 6 day creation story is lacking in reading comprehension skills. The Earth was created on the third day, no?

So how long were days One and Two? 25 hours? 25 million years? Who can say? In God's time, it is just as likely as any other explanation. As the author states, "What if it was a history told from God to humanity as if told to a child?"

There's a great book out there that reconciles the whole thing; "Genesis and the Big Bang" by Gerald L. Schroeder Ph.D. It's on Amazon for around ten bucks.
