If you are puzzled by how we should interpret Genesis, maybe following Jesus’ approach would be best.

Jesus, St. Paul, St. Peter ... I find their example persuasive, myself.

2 Peter 3:8
8But, beloved, be not ignorant of this one thing, that one day is with the Lord as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day.


Taking Peter on his authority, we should be cautious about interpreting Creation as being a sequence of seven 24-hour days.
